Ridgefield-based jewelry designer Amy Kahn Russell is making her first foray into retailing with a pop-up store in her town.
Russell is setting up shop at 9 Bailey Ave. in downtown Ridgefield from Oct. 16 to Oct. 31. The store is based at the former site of Upscale Resale and will be open 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays.
Russell”™s jewelry encompasses a wide range of materials, including gold, sterling silver, semiprecious stones, pearls and fossils. Her product line is sold in museum shops, art galleries, boutiques, specialty stores, catalogs and through her e-commerce site.
In a 2017 interview with WAG Magazine, Russell highlighted the individual nature of each piece she creates.
“I like people to get good value,” she said. “That”™s why we make the jewelry so versatile, because you don”™t feel the same every day. You can be the designer of your outfit.”
Russell added there was nothing more rewarding than having someone enjoy her jewelry.
“I don”™t like them to sit in the drawer,” she said.
