Istanbul is the only city in the world that stretches across two continents. Connecting Europe with Asia, the city straddles more than the Bosphorus River, it straddles cultures. As a child, Sevan Bicakci lived on a street with a church, mosque and temple – three different beliefs that serve as inspiration for the very enigmatic jewelry designer now known simply as Sevan.

“I’m fascinated by the idea of taking every day things and turning them into jewels for the home,” says designer Jay Strongwater. “Beauty shouldn’t just be tucked in a dresser drawer.”

Starting as a jewelry designer in 1979 while attending the Rhode Island School of Design, Strongwater’s career took off after he made a necklace for his mother that garnered raves from friends. Encouraged by the interest, he took samples to open buyer days at New York’s department stores and very soon had orders.

When he heard a radio commercial for a company that bought old gold, sight unseen, he visited their Web site, requested one of their shipping bags, and sent his unwanted valuables on their way.

by Marjorie Skinner
The Portland Mercury, OR

Much is made of the relationship between fashion and art—undoubtedly creative, fashion’s link to human necessity nonetheless makes it forever outside the high-art inner circle (with the exception, arguably, of couture). That gray distance between fashion and art might be sweepingly referred to as “craft,” making Portland’s recently revamped Museum of Contemporary Craft the appropriate staging area to negotiate such concepts.
