Anne-Marie Warburton Highlights Tucson Gem and Mineral Show's Growth

Anne-Marie Warburton, owner of Gallery Gemma, has made a name for herself in Dufferin Caledon with exquisite jewelry, largely inspired by her annual visits to the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show, the largest in the world. Warburton started attending the show in 2006, where she navigates through thousands of vendors to find unique pieces for her shop. In the realm of fashion, Sophie Buhai has transitioned from co-founding the successful brand Vena Cava to establishing her own minimalist jewelry line, drawing inspiration from modernist silver and the elegance of past eras. Meanwhile, Patis Tesoro is redefining Filipiniana fashion, making it versatile for everyday wear while celebrating Filipino culture through her colorful designs. The exhibition 'Diane Von Furstenberg: Woman Before Fashion' at the Skirball Cultural Center showcases the designer’s iconic wrap dress and her message of female empowerment, connecting fashion history with Jewish cultural identity. Lastly, Julia Ferentinos, founder of the jewelry brand Juju Vera, draws inspiration from vintage style icons, blending past elegance with contemporary designs in her collection.
