A Vintage Icon
Cast was built around our deep-seated love of timeless jewelry. We knew from the outset that we wanted to include vintage in our offering—special pieces that were meant to be worn daily and mixed seamlessly together with more modern fine jewelry. It’s why we’ve chosen Mahnaz Ispahani Bartos to share her expertise as the perfect Vintage Curator for Cast. Inspired by the pieces she’s collected over the years, Bartos shares in our love of the mid-century modern era and our desire to bring elements of vintage into your every day.
“I am endlessly inspired by the stories of goldsmiths, artists, and architects, who design jewelry–visionaries who conceive of a beautiful idea, whose hands might draw or paint or hammer out wearable art,” Mahnaz Ispahani Bartos explains. It’s no surprise that this legend, the creative mind behind the NY-based Mahnaz Collection, is the dream curator of vintage on Cast.
While her storied past informs her exploration and appreciation of each piece, she takes a decidedly scholarly and cultural approach to jewelry. Bartos is drawn to designers who have a strong sense of their own aesthetic, similar to the singular style she’s cultivated over her years of collecting. It’s this unique perspective that sets Bartos apart, and casts her as the dream partner and guide as we dive into vintage.
