The Hand of Fatima
Posted on 07. Dec, 2009 by Spencer A. Freeman in Arts and Culture, Barbara Raab, Uncategorized
Mariam Aryai Rivera is an Iranian jewelry designer born and raised in Queens, New York. This year, Mariam showcased her jewelry line, Hand of Fatima, for the third year in a row at the Bust Holiday Craftacular, a one-day-only event hosted by Bust Magazine where kitschy designers and the people who envy them come together for a day of shopping and ooh-ing and ahh-ing. The event is held at The Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea and for only $2, attendees can peruse more than 200 vendors, which not only include Hand of Fatima, but other jewelry, handbag, and clothing designers as well. Mariam’s designs, which range anywhere from $20 to just shy of $100, are a mixture of victorian-era feminine combined with avant-guard political innuendo.
