When she came upon Schmutzerland at booth 5005, in the New York’s Newest section, she had an idea. She would collaborate with Schmutzerland to create unique one-of-a-kind, image based jewelry as a new offering for the ballet gift shop. After discussing some parameters with Dave Rubin, a Schmutzerland partner and director of marketing and development, they decided on exclusive images of the ballet’s own production. By putting them in necklaces, earrings and cufflinks and creating special packaging, Schmutzerland created an exciting gift line. “ I met David at the NY International Gift Fair and we had a conversation about doing some themed pieces for Nutcracker and Pennsylvania Ballet. He followed up and took the initiative to design some custom jewelry for us. I was thrilled with Schmutzerland’s attention to detail and dedication to our project. The finished pieces were magnificent and big sellers. I look forward to a long partnership!” commented Apollo on her Schmutzerland experience. Along with their extensive line of images that feature everything from famous personalities, botanicals, nostalgia, curios, insects, vintage engravings, feathers and vintage maps, Schmutzerland works closely with retailers and other organizations to create lines that are exclusive to them.
