Helena Fox Fine Art at 12 Queen Street in historic downtown Charleston presents an evening of Southern culinary delights from acclaimed Chef Jeremiah Bacon of Carolina’s Restaurant paired with the glamorous jewels of renowned goldsmith Sarah Amos on July 17, 2009. Carolina’s Restaurant, a landmark in Charleston’s rich culinary history, offers a contemporary approach to Lowcountry cuisine. Chef Bacon utilizes local ingredients grown on Kensington Plantation in unique creations and Lowcountry classics. The New York Times calls Carolina’s “one of the most elegant restaurants on the East coast…among the best.”
Sarah Amos, originally from South Wales, creates exquisite contemporary jewelry using centuries-old techniques of ancient goldsmithing. She has been featured in numerous national and international publications including Charleston Magazine, Charleston Weddings and most notably Art & Antiques. Her one-of-a-kind pieces include hand-crafted bracelets, pendants, rings, earrings, and necklaces. Amos selects the finest stones from rose-cut diamonds, beautiful sapphires to Peruvian opals. Her jewelry is crafted using original, ancient Greek and Roman coins, which adds to its mythical heritage. Amos explains her artistic philosophy: “When creating a piece of jewelry; I intend for it to be unique, functional and timeless.”
