Charon Kransen is a trained jeweler, a former professor, an art jewelry collector, a contemporary jewelry dealer, founder of Charon Kransen Arts in New York City, one of the most important galleries in the field, an educator, a lecturer and a jewelry book dealer. Needless to say, that because of his different professional roles and his lifelong experience in the field, Charon Kransen has a deep knowledge in all aspects of the contemporary jewelry art. Furthermore, he was a juror at Talente and Schmuckszene in Munich for many years and he was a member of the jury of Athens Jewelry Week 2018. So, what a better chance for me to get to know him through an interview and to find out more about jewelry curating, collecting, and reading.
