Vram Minassian Debuts Agriculture-Inspired Jewelry at Bergdorf Goodman

Jewelry designer Vram Minassian has unveiled Moment V, the fifth chapter in his ten-year "Continuum" series, now on display at Bergdorf Goodman in New York. The collection of 20 handcrafted pieces draws inspiration from agriculture, specifically a single seed and a pollinator like a bee, though forms are abstracted. Minassian's signature "Echo" ring debuted with Moment I, and subsequent collections explored themes from the origin of the universe to primitive tools. Moment V marks VRAM's return to a major New York retail setting, with pieces shown in Bergdorf's Jewelry Salon and 57th Street windows through June. The jewelry is displayed alongside ceramics by Peter Lane, a longtime friend of Minassian. All pieces are made in VRAM's Los Angeles studio. Minassian, whose father and grandfather were watchmakers and jewelers, incorporates hidden details like a crevice in the seed form that creates visual intrigue.
