What’s On My Desk: Martin Katz

This week we’ve featured Martin Katz, an American jewelry designer whose haute pieces have been coveted by celebrities for nearly two decades. Both his modern and vintage-inspired creations have been worn by A-listers like Angelina Jolie, Cate Blanchett, Felicity Huffman, Nicole Kidman and J.Lo. Additionally, his work has been featured in fashion spreads and celebrity photo shoots for magazines such as Vogue, W, and InStyle. Here is a look at the items on Martin’s desk:

• A new, rare 32.70ct Paraiba Tourmaline Cabochon stone & Paraiba Tourmaline Cabochon necklace design layout.
• Sapphire, Paraiba and Diamond melee parcels.
• A Pair of Half Moon Diamonds.
• A 12ct Paraiba Tourmaline Sombrero Ring from my current collection.
• Jewelers Loupe, millimeter gauge and stone tweezers.
