Rings From Her Fingers Mary Best in Mexico for jewelry study
Mary Best, daughter of Mrs. Peggy Worthington Best of Stockbridge, designs and sells jewelry with an improvised career path. After leaving Sarah Lawrence, she joined a Greenwich Village shop and later moved to Mexico to study design and motifs in the heart of the country’s stone district. She favors silver and semiprecious stones, scorns mass production, and creates rings necklaces earrings pins and decorative combs, charging up to 45 dollars per piece. Her work honors nature and personal inspiration, with orders like 50 pieces for Sarah Lawrence’s scholarship bazaar last fall.
