My Take

Kazumi Arikawa is a fascinating figure who proves cultural influence need not be loud. As president of the Albion Art Jewellery Institute, he is a researcher and collector who has elevated the scholarship and stewardship of fine jewellery to a global level. What strikes me is the quiet authority of his credentials: a seat on the International Council of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and a Chevalier of France's Order of Arts and Letters. Few have devoted themselves so seriously to preserving and presenting jewellery heritage. I deeply admire this kind of understated, world-class connoisseurship working behind the scenes of art history.
