#Repost @alexandramornewyork ・・・ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JANUARY 4, 2018 // ALEXANDRA MOR HONORED AS #INNOVATOR OF THE YEAR BY #TOWN&COUNTRY #MAGAZINE New York, NY – Town & Country Magazine has named #AlexandraMor an Innovator of the Year in its first annual Town & Country #JewelryAwards. Alexandra is being recognized for discovering and introducing the #Taguaseed, which mimics banned #elephant #ivory, into a #sustainable #HighJewelry collection. By using the responsible and natural source of Tagua Seed and the artisan #Balinese master carvers and goldsmiths for her designs, Alexandra helped to raise awareness and provide jewelry collectors, #designers and retailers alike an unexpected fine material, as the ultimate alternative to elephant ivory. With her Tagua collection, Alexandra used her voice and talent to bringing awareness to the tragic reality of a species on the brink of extinction. @TownandCountryMag Jewelry Awards will be held in partnership with @Saks Fifth Avenue., @StelleneVolandes Editor in Chief, and @WillsNotebook , Fashion Market & Accessories Director are the co-chairs of the awards. An event to celebrate the awards will take place on March 15, 2018 at Hearst Tower in New York City. “The jewelry world is filled with more talent right now than I have seen in twenty years covering it,” said Town & Country Editor in Chief Stellene Volandes. “It was time Town & Country, long a champion of jewelers, and the leading authority in jewelry coverage, created an annual celebration of jewelry's best and brightest: the visionaries and innovators and the masters and legends.” Alexandra remarks, “Having the opportunity to make a contribution through my work has been a humbling experience. Using my talent for a greater good and bringing change is the most powerful way for any designer to share their work. I am grateful to all the people who have supported and believed in my vision to use Tagua Seed as a fine #jewelry material. I am thankful of the generous recognition that Town & Country has bestowed upon me.” #TandCJewelryAwards #SustainableLuxury #HighJewelery #MindfulLuxury {Photography by @russellstarr - Portrait by @kenkochey @sarahlaird_goodco }
