I’ve had a lot of experience buying jewels for beautiful girls. Believe me. And I didn’t put “Be Generous” at #6 on my 10 Rules for keeping a mistress for nothing—it’s important and rumors of a stingy lover get around quicker than bad news. So when Taki tells you that he know a craftsman who can mend a girl’s heart, express your inner gentleman, and generally make her forget about your past misbehavior, you can take it to the bank.
And you don’t just have to take my word for it. The work of Alex Sepkus, an intellectual eccentric and colorful fellow who lives down on 48th St., is known the world over. And not only does he create things of beauty, but he’s a honest, Christian man. Just last year, after the markets crashed and luxury goods were about popular as a Woody Allen film in Islamabad, times were tough for Alex, to be sure. But he refused to reduce his staff. According to Alex, at Christmas time, laying off employees just isn’t done. While other immigrants from the old Soviet Union have become shysters, oligarchs, and layabouts, Alex remained, somehow, a man of the old world—and his jewelry reflects this sensibility. So, take this piece of advice as a little Christmas present from Taki. Get her something from Mr. Sepkus.
Alex can be reached at 212.391.8466 and at 42 West 48th St. suite 501.
