Jay Strongwater Everly Ginkgo Mirror for Shining, Warm and Lush

Jay Strongwater's remarkable journey through the realms of fashion and home furnishings has been driven by his profound love for the bejeweled objet. As a student at the Rhode Island School of Design in 1981, Jay's career began with a remarkable necklace he created for his mother, which garnered significant praise. Seizing the opportunity, he took his jewelry samples to the open buyer days at several of New York's department stores, and a thriving business was born.

Strongwater's distinctive taste for bold and captivating bijoux was soon witnessed on fashion runways, magazine covers, and prominent jewelry counters across the country. The start of his foray into home furnishings was marked by the creation of a jewel-encrusted picture frame in 1995, using components from his jewelry collection. By 1998, his Jewels for the Home business had surpassed his fashion endeavors, as he became increasingly fascinated by the idea of transforming everyday objects into a beautiful tapestry of metal, enamel, and sparkling crystals.

Collectors often express a profound connection to the artisanal touch in each Jay Strongwater design, a testament to the skilled artisans who bring his visions to life in the designer's New York atelier and production workshop in Rhode Island. From frames and figurines to boxes, furniture, and holiday collections, Jay Strongwater's bejeweled creations for the home add a touch of enchantment and delight to every room they grace.

One such example is the Ginkgo Leaf Mirror, where cast shimmering warm brass ginkgo leaves encircle the frame of this captivating round wall mirror. Complementing the Ginkgo Leaf Table, this lush botanical piece seamlessly blends the soft organic shapes of nature with the edge of contemporary design. Measuring a stunning 23.5 inches in diameter, this mirror is a testament to Strongwater's artistry and attention to detail.

Proper care and maintenance are essential to preserving the beauty of these exceptional pieces. Professional installation is recommended, and the mirror glass should be gently wiped with a clean cloth after being sprayed with glass cleaner. The mirror frame should be carefully cleaned with a damp cloth, ensuring to keep it dry.

When not on display, Jay Strongwater recommends storing your piece in the original signature box it came in, or in an airtight container with acid-free tissue paper. These expertly handcrafted, heirloom-quality creations are limited editions, making them true collectible treasures to be passed down through generations.
