As part of NYC Jewelry Week 2025, Katey Brunini joined Dr. Laurent Cartier of the Swiss Gemological Institute SSEF for Coral: Art Meets Science, a conversation moderated by Bella Neyman exploring precious coral through the intersecting perspectives of art, science, and jewelry.
The discussion brought together Brunini’s artistic relationship with natural materials and Dr. Cartier’s gemological perspective, opening a dialogue around coral’s place in the natural world and its enduring presence in jewelry and adornment.
Central to Brunini’s participation was Il Sangue, a collection that reflects her exploration of coral as an expressive material. Through her work, coral becomes part of a larger artistic language shaped by nature, form, and the relationship between the raw and the refined.
Presented during NYC Jewelry Week, Coral: Art Meets Science offered an opportunity to consider how different disciplines approach the same remarkable material, from its natural origins to its transformation into art.
