Joel Arthur Rosenthal is a celebrated jeweller born in New York City for his innovative contemporary jewels. Often quoted as ‘the Faberge of our time’ and frequently inspired by nature, each artistic creation is highly sought after; less than a hundred jewels are introduced each year. His shop was established on Place Vendôme in 1977 with no signs or windows, with only his initials. Such secrecy has resulted in a voracious cult following, with collectors taking note when JAR signed pieces are sold at auction.
喬爾·亞瑟·羅森塔爾(Joel Arthur Rosenthal,簡稱JAR)是紐約一位著名的珠寶设计师,因其創新的當代珠寶而聞名於世。大眾常稱他為「當代法貝熱」,他常以大自然為靈感進行設計創作。羅森塔爾追求精益求精,每年僅向一些高端客戶推出限量少於一百件珠寶作品。JAR的珠寶工作室於1977年在旺多姆廣場(Place Vendôme)成立,沒有任何標誌或櫥窗展示,僅有其名字縮寫。如此神秘的品牌風格引發了名門貴族對其作品的瘋狂追捧。當JAR的珠寶作品出現於拍賣會時,藏家們更是紛至遝來,競相出價。
