Fine art, fine jewelry and the laid back vibe of the Jersey Shore all come together in Weston Gallery in Manasquan, NJ. One of the store’s co-owners, Kathy Weston, was initially drawn to the jewelry industry 30 years ago because of her deep abiding love for exquisitely crafted jewelry, and that love is what continues to drive her store’s success. Kathy’s appreciation for fine craftsmanship and for the artistry behind the jewelry she sells keeps her excited about what she does, and keeps her coming to the JA New York show year after year.
