Black Rock Galleries is delighted to present an exceptional selection of designer costume jewelry by Jay Feinberg, St. John, and Alexis Kirk, from the estate of a sophisticated collector whose life was steeped in the world of fashion and elegance.

With residences in Palm Beach, Florida and Greenwich, Connecticut, she embodied a refined coastal glamour paired with classic New York sophistication. Her career began at the legendary B. Altman in Manhattan, where she first developed her discerning eye as a buyer. She later held roles with Macy’s and Lord & Taylor, and worked alongside some of America’s most influential fashion houses, including Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren.

Surrounded by the energy of the New York fashion world, she cultivated a remarkable instinct for luxury, bold design, and timeless style. Her jewelry collection reflects that sensibility—pieces chosen not only for their beauty, but for their presence.

Featured are the dramatic architectural forms of Alexis Kirk, the polished sophistication of St. John, and the glamorous statement designs of Jay Feinberg. From sculptural earrings to striking necklaces and distinctive brooches, these pieces capture the confident glamour of late 20th-century designer costume jewelry.

Collected by a woman who lived and breathed fashion, this dazzling selection offers bidders the rare opportunity to acquire jewelry from the wardrobe of a true New York fashion insider.

✨ A collection as bold and elegant as the woman who wore it. Bid now.
