The 'Giga Pearl' is no longer the only breathtaking rarity in Abraham Reyes’ collection. The renowned artist and collector is now unveiling 'Beneath the Surface,' a bold new art exhibition that transforms natural pearls, diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds into striking, gem-embellished masterpieces.
Set to run from February 18 to March 18, 2025, at Avant Garde in Toronto, the exhibition explores the hidden beauty within rare materials, redefining value and perception. Reyes, who owns the Guinness World Record-holding Giga Pearl, brings his deep appreciation for nature’s unique imperfections into each piece, creating 'jewelry for the walls' that merges luxury with artistic storytelling.
Inspired by the way gemstones and pearls reveal their history through texture and inclusions, Reyes challenges traditional beauty standards and invites viewers to look beyond the surface. Available by private appointment, this exclusive showcase offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience art, rarity, and heritage reimagined.
