Kalispell’s Wheeler Jewelry will host an exclusive event today and Friday featuring the world’s largest collection of Masriera jewelry outside of Barcelona, Spain.

The in-store event will run from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Thursday and 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday.

It will feature an impressive showing of the Masriera fine jewelry line, which has also been exhibited in some of the world’s most distinguished museums, such as the Metropolitan Museum in New York City and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. The Masriera collection travels around the United States once a year to select locations.

“This is the only place in Montana that you will be able to see this wearable art,” Wheeler Jewelry owner Lisa Poler said in a news release. “Each year they also feature a piece that is made in a limited edition of just one. It’s always a unique thrill for any jeweler to see.”

Masriera is part of the Art Nouveau movement that began in Catalonia, Spain, in 1888. The style is characterized by highly decorative and distinctive iconography, which is meticulously handcrafted and often includes nymphs, fairies and other fantastic expressions of the female form.

Wheeler Jewelry is located at 139 Main St. in Kalispell. Call 752-6809 for more information.
