The elegant space of Alchemy 925 showcases the work of over 50 artists. The co-owners, a designer/teacher and her student, are always on the hunt for jewelry that inspires and excites them, and so there is a constant rotation of product offerings in their Belmont Center, Massachusetts gallery. We caught up with one of the owners, Munya Avigail Upin, on one such quest at the JA New York Spring Show, and were overjoyed to discover how genuinely passionate she is about the designers and artists whom she represents.
