“Dramatic Jewelry: The Five Masters” - May 6, 2013
Aaron Faber Gallery, 666 Fifth Ave at 53rd St (212-586-8411, aaronfaber.com). Subway: E, M to Fifth Ave-53rd St; F to 57th St While trend-conscious women all over the world are currently donning bold and colorful rings, necklaces and bangles, this contemporary five-designer showcase brings statement baubles to another level. You’ll find glass displays filled with one-of-a-kind bespoke pieces from British designer Charlotte De Syllas, American craftsman Michael Good, Italian sculptor Paolo Marcolongo, Germany’s Peter Schmid, and couple Tom and Jutta Munsteiner. The Instagram-worthy items include 18-karat gold brooches, blown-glass-and-metal rings and geometrically cut gems that are more wearable art than jewelry. On May 18, Good stops by to talk about his work and anticlastic raising, the metalsmithing technique he developed (2–5pm; free).

The Fabulous Four Corners and Beyond by Ruth J. Katz
The Rolex "Prince Brancard" model with its sterling silver dial is a rarity, and all the more so with the "1/4 Century Club" markings. Manufactured in the 1940s, these watches were crafted for the T. Eaton Compony to commemorate 25 years of continuous service.

 | Perspective: Here's the Skinny For over a century, timepiece brands have advertised a curious idea: the thinner the watch, the better By Robert Klara
December 7, 2011 – ADWEEK
…In 1938, Gruen introduced its first Veri-Thin model in wristwatch form (adding the hypen in the process). It sold briskly until the Second World War halted production. In a way, though, WWII was not entirely a bad thing for the brand. "The metallurgical advances made during the war allowed Gruen to [change] the plates, so the profile became even thinner," explains watch expert Edward Faber, owner of Manhattans Aaron Faber Gallery and the author of American Wristwatches: Five Decades of Style and Design. How much thinner? By 1947, Gruen had returned to the market with a line of thin thin veri-thin models, shown at right. Veri-Thin became a hallmark of wristwatch design, Faber says. And, like most hallmarks, they were not cheap. That $135 Consuela model would cost $1,303 today…

 | LINEAR CELEBRATION: Aaron Faber Gallery Director Patricia Kiley Faber Talks About the Genesis of Their New Show
October 21, 2011 - ART JEWELRY FORUM
The inspiration for the current ‘In Line’ exhibition at Aaron Faber Gallery came from a superb exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art last year that I had the good fortune to see. The MOMA show, titled “On Line: Drawing Through the Twentieth Century” and curated by Connie Butler and Catherine de Zegher, brought its audience a fresh view of line. One moved from rooms hung with expert but unsurprising linear drawings and paintings, to rooms with sculptural and three-dimensional works defined by linear movement, to dance performance in the atrium, the dancers moving in linear forms through space. In short, the viewer was taken from Picasso and Kandinsky, to Calder and Eva Hesse, to Trisha Brown and Atsuko Tanaka. The freshness of the show was exhilarating, and inspired me to look at line in metal for a group exhibition at the gallery

 | Without This Ring: Losing a Wedding Band
August 5, 2011 - NEW YORK TIMES
“It’s a challenge,” said Patricia Kiley Faber, an owner of Aaron Faber Gallery, a jewelry store in New York. She said that fingers tend to be slightly bigger in summer than in winter, swell during pregnancy and may fluctuate because of general weight gain and loss. The change may be just millimeters, but it could be critical in determining whether a ring stays put.
“If you are doing adventure recreation — like rafting or sports in water — it might be better to leave the ring at home,” Ms. Faber said.

 | Emerging Artisan: Arata Fuchi by Lori Ettlinger Gross
May 13,th 2011 - JewelHistory.com
...Studio jeweler Arata Fuchi is represented in New York by Aaron Faber Gallery, so if you would like to see more of his work, please visit their website here. Arata’s jewelry is an unexpected blend of emotions, cultures, and textures. The artist himself is something of an amalgamate: he is Japanese and lives and creates in Italy. While influenced by traditional Japanese beauty, Arata embraced European goldsmithing techniques. Trained in jewelry making at Le Arti Orafe in Florence, he developed his own approach to creating his jewelry through an arduous process of trial and error. He created what he terms pulverization, where silver powder is applied to a surface of silver plate or wire and the whole is fixed with heat. The result is a matte, sand-like finish, mostly in cream white or coal black, which is then highlighted with gold. There is the suggestion of the oceanic to Arata’s jewelry; each piece looks as though it could have been plucked from a coral reef or discovered amongst sunken treasure...

 | Watch of the Week: 1930s Vintage Minerva
GQ.com - April 18, 2011
I really love this vintage Minerva watch that I spotted recently at the Aaron Faber Gallery here in NYC. It is a 1930s vintage pilot watch that is new to their (already awesome and extensive) collection. You do not see Minerva watches in the States often and this one is especially unique because it has a beautiful black dial and luminous numerals. Plus, the new canvas nylon strap could not be more summer-appropriate.

 | On My Radar: Christian Streit by Lori Ettlinger Gross
April 13th, 2011 - JewelHistory.com
...Jewelry artisan Christian Streit has a passion for rings. The designer’s early childhood memories of a family friend influenced his future aspirations. He recalls, “a tall, stout man, very quiet, smoking cigarettes, and he wore a huge ring.” Trained as a classical goldsmith in a traditional workshop, Streit then worked as an assistant at the Atelier Michael Zobel for two and half years. Afterward he studied at Escuela Massana in Barcelona with Ramón Puig Cuya. He mixes metals and produces pieces that speak to ethnic and period influences while projecting a contemporary urban presence. A bezel of darkened silver against bright gold is set with a looming smoky quartz and a tiny rose-cut diamond accent for playfulness. The narrative of his jewelry seems to have more in common with Jane Austen than LBD’s and cocktail conversation about Donald Trump’s teetering bid for the presidency. Streit feels the depth of his designs, and knows that it isn’t all gloss and perception. He believes that, anthropologically speaking, jewelry is one of the oldest cultural artifacts of humanity and that its relationship between the mind and the body is unique. This is evident in the smallest details: compare the shanks of the rings below. Nuance is everything and his subtitles are provocative rather than showy. More of Christian Streit’s work can be found at Aaron Faber Gallery in New York....

 | GQ Style Manual 2010
2010
If you want a timepiece with stand-out style—or just one that no one else can get—think vintage. But in watchspeak, vintage means more than just cool-looking or rare. Edward Faber, owner of New York vintage retailer Aaron Faber Gallery, uses the term to define collectible watches made between 1935 (roughly when Swiss technological improvements like shockproofing were invented) and 1985 (when CAD/CAM, a computer system that factored out the watchmaker’s hand, became the manufacturing standard).
Whether you’re buying a $500 Hamilton or a $50,000 Patek Philippe, you’re making an investment—one that could pay off significantly over time. Here, Edward Faber, owner of New York vintage retailer Aaron Faber Gallery, tells you what you need to know.
Buy from a reputable dealer. It should be a member of a professional trade organization, says Faber. The International Watch and Jewelry Guild and Jewelers of America are best. And if it can’t give you a current certificate of authenticity from the manufacturer, you’re in the wrong place.
Look for the big two brands. “There’s a pyramid with around fifty top brands, but at the very apex are only two: Patek Philippe and Rolex.”
Ask for papers. “Original documentation that came with the watch when it was manufactured can add enormous value.”
Know your metals. Platinum trumps white gold, white gold trumps pink, pink trumps yellow. And all of those trump steel.

 | What Collectors Want.
PROMENADE - Fall 2010
Edward Faber is the founder of the 33-year-old Aaron Faber Gallery, which arguably was the originator of the revival in vintage watch-collecting in New York.
"Within the last five years or so, women have emerged as serious collectors, as they have acquired more independent means. They have discovered that the boys; were onto something good in collecting mechanical vintage watches. The smaller, vintage mens watches, say with 32 mm. faces, are ideal for a womans wrist. Women seem to collect in two veins: One is to seek the glamour watches; that were made with an eye toward the Hollywood of the 20s, 30s, 40s, and early 50s.They were invariably rose gold or platinum, and almost always had a great look and real verve. Today, they are trading way below market [value] and below what a new steel-and-diamond modern watch would currently sell for. There is another group who seek watches that were made for men in the mid-20th century, like the Rolex Explorer I, or the simple Rolex Perpetual [automatic] Datejust."

"The price of gold and silver influences artists," she added, forcing many of them to move into alternate materials.
