    Hello Orchids, For all of you in the metro NY area as well as those
    of you whom will be attending MJSA, I wanted to mention an exhibit at
    the Newark Museum. It is an exhibit of jewelry that was produced as a
    collaboration between the the three curators at the museum
    called..."Baubles, Bangles and Bling-Bling" (yes, they have a sense
    of humor). It is a small museum and drawing from their strong
    specializations in Asian, African and Decorative Arts, they have put
    together an amazingly wide-ranging collection of jewelry that
    encompasses everything from Tibetan turquoise headdresses to Joan
    Crawford's diamond bracelet. There is also a special emphasis on
    jewelry from Newark, which was formerly a center of jewelry
    manufacturing.  I used to work at the museum making metal mounts for
    the various 3D objects in the collection. They really wanted me to
    work on this show, now that I have my own jewelry business, but I was
    too busy and missed the chance to handle all of these pieces and take
    a close look.  Getting to Newark is easy from midtown. You just need
    to take the Midtown Direct train(It runs on several lines) from NY
    Penn Station to Newark Broad St. and walk about 3 blocks. The train
    ride is 15 minutes. Go to the NJ Transit website for more details. I
    hope some of you will make the trip out for an enjoyable show at a
    great small museum!
