Today is the final day of NYC Jewelry Week. Below, we highlight an opportunity to get kids excited about making jewelry. For the short week ahead, check out a couple timely Plumb Club podcasts and a silent auction of jewels by Greek designers. Happy Thanksgiving!

Laura Inghirami, professor, writer, and founder of Milan-based Donna Jewel, will introduce young people to the world of jewelry through a workshop designed to encourage their creativity, joy, and passion.
