Gem Gossip has finally caved and started a page on Facebook. We’ve held out this long because we felt there wasn’t a need to have another outlet which just reiterates what is on our blog–so our Facebook page has a separate focus.  The page is dedicated to the upcoming jewelry line as well as the SHOW ME YOUR RINGS project.

In the year that has followed, economic indicators havent improved and social disparities havent disappeared. The neighborhoods that saw street violence and larcenous looting are as rough as ever. But a recent immigrant from the opposite side of the world is determined to find a diamond in all of that rough – or if not, then at the very least, create one. In the aftermath of pitched battles between disaffected youth and police officers, Mexican artist Teresa Margolles collected the ashes of buildings that had been set ablaze and burnt to the ground.
