The Curator came into being out of necessity. In the early eighties, Bronia Jenson, a scientist and a designer, became frustrated with the way silver jewelry was always in need of polishing. One evening, as she was storing her silver flatware in anti-tarnish bags, it occurred to her that there ought to be something similar for fine silver jewelry.
Soon after, she came across a granny cap that gave her the idea of designing a jewelry case along the same lines - lined with anti-tarnish cloth! The case would be soft and therefore easy to travel with and easy to store in a drawer.
Before long, friends were begging her for one of her lovely cases. She began making them in such quantities that she resigned her position. Thus, the Curator was born and the first jewelry case was called the Jewelry SaQ pouch. Working out of the basement of her home with skilled seamstresses, each SaQ was carefully and exquisitely made by hand.
In her first year in business she was selling all over the country and, by her second year, she knew she was a winner when competition began - trying to copy her design. What the competition has not copied is The Curator's attention to detail and the skill in collecting the finest of materials. Quality and function are the two chief criteria for The Curator.
Today The Curator is no longer housed in Bronia's basement, but the same exquisite personal care goes into each individually produced bag. Bronia continues to design the entire Curator Collection you will see here. Each piece presented here has been individually crafted to ensure the quality for which The Curator is known.
