Today we hear from veteran fine jewelry designer Lorraine West, who’s based in Brooklyn, N.Y. JCK: Hi, Lorraine! Who are you living with through the pandemic, if anybody, and what state of lockdown would you say you’re in? Lorraine West: My Brooklyn apartment/home studio with my husband, Sol, and our 10-year-old son, Solly. We were in our apartment unless we needed groceries, to do laundry, or if I needed to get supplies from the Diamond District when it opened back up. We’ve been staying healthy—so far so good. How would you say the pandemic has impacted your creativity—and desire to create and work?
