SAUER, a Brazilian jewelry brand, recently opened at 800 Madison Avenue (between 67th and 68th streets), the company’s first U.S. location. The two-floor space includes a salon for private appointments that “will host an exhibition of rare gems and minerals from the SAUER collection that for decades lived in the family museum in Rio de Janeiro, the birthplace of the brand founded in 1941,” according to a press release. Price ranges posted on the company’s website include earrings from $800 to $37,000; bracelets from $2,550 to $39,600; and necklaces from $1,500 to $39,600. (These are the highest numbers shown for each category, but there are ‘price upon request’-labeled items which presumably exceed these figures.)
