“Sauer's work is well known in New York City, where we have always sought to maintain ties and create partnerships that today give us the certainty that we are in the right place and on the right path,” says Co-CEO Gabriel Sauer. “This event celebrates the first Sauer flagship outside of Brazil and on Madison Avenue is a remarkable milestone for our brand as we expand globally.”
To celebrate the opening of the Madison Avenue boutique, the brand’s seventh, Sauer Creative Director, Stephanie Wenk, has designed an exclusive Madison Avenue collection reflecting its three pillars: art, nature, and spirituality. Standout pieces include the serpentine Suzanne necklace with a 19-carat diamond, and the Paisley earrings combining emeralds, diamonds, and malachite.
"As I imagined the lives of our New York collectors and we planned for our first store outside of Brazil that would be among the finest luxury shops and art galleries on Madison Avenue, I developed an exclusive high jewelry collection with this culture and style in mind," says Stephanie Wenk, Creative Director.
