Designer and fourth-generation art and antique dealer Rebecca Rau will officially debut her inaugural fine jewelry collection, THEN & NOW, during NYC Jewelry Week (NYCJW), accompanied by the introduction of newly added one-of-a-kind pieces that merge ancient cultural artifacts with contemporary gemstones, precious metals, and modern design. 

THEN & NOW combines ancient artifacts dating from 1200 BC to 1880 AD with modern gemstones, lustrous pearls, and precious metals. Each piece is a celebration of human history and craftsmanship, designed to be worn today while carrying forward the stories of the past. The collection ranges from Phoenician gold pendants and medieval fede rings to Anglo-Saxon fittings and nineteenth-century Italian micromosaics, each transformed into unique contemporary pieces through meticulous preservation, engineering, and gemstone setting.
