Courtesy of Frieze and CKA.Two themes dominated art world conversations in the run-up to this year’s Frieze Los Angeles. First came the question of whether the fair would proceed in the wake of wildfires across L.A. County, which devastated over 40,000 acres and destroyed more than 10,000 homes. Then, when the fair announced that it would go ahead, there was the matter of quite how things would shake up.As Frieze Los Angeles 2025 held its VIP day on February 20th, the mood was one of vibrancy and…
Masterpiece tree brooch designed by René Boivin adorned with amethyst and pink tourmaline. Wearing gemstones is a treat, but another fun thing about them is discovering some of the associated history and lore. Most people know that amethyst is the birthstone for February babies. But did you know in ancient times, wearing this gem was considered an antidote for getting a little too tipsy? In fact, the name comes from amethystos, a Greek term that translates to “a remedy against drunkenness,” according to the Gemological Institute of America. The color resembling vino also led to an association with the gods…
As he sits on the throne as the King of the Streaming Era, writer/director Taylor Sheridan has sometimes been accused of being pretentious and even misogynistic. Whatever criticisms can be levied at his output, he is arguably the creator who has most earned the right to his pretensions today. He is more of an industry than a showrunner, someone who has created thousands of jobs and millions of fans with shows like “Tulsa King,” “Mayor of Kingstown,” “Lioness,” and “Landman,” just to name a few. But the first line of his obituary will reference the true phenomenon that is “Yellowstone,”…

Nothing compares to an antique amethyst ring as a present, a gift that combines timeless beauty, rich symbolism, and sentimental value.

Here’s why an antique amethyst ring is a standout choice for gifting and how it can leave a lasting impression.

“Suits: LA” is dumb. This is a show where one character tells another, “You have a lot of flaws,” and it’s supposed to come off as insightful and not something that could be said about, well, anyone. In the pilot, the attorneys at Ted Black’s firm repeat the phrase “every day of the week and twice on Sunday”—even writing it down and sending it to each other! —like it’s the most clever thing they’ve ever heard and not a standard phrase that started circulating a century ago. And that’s just the writing. The plot holes also require a sort of…
I’ve been familiar with Svetlana Lazar Design since discovering her work on Instagram a few years ago – I even chose her as a featured maker in 2023 for May Is Gold Month. So she was someone I was really excited to get to meet in person as well as see her designs in real life! And let me just say, I was not ready to be blown away as hard as I was – from how amazingly handcrafted each piece is, to the gemstones she uses…and then the Wishing Well Collection, I was truly knocked off my feet. I…
