Shine A Light

The Adam Foster Fine Jewelry showroom and event space offers an immersive experience.

If the tone of the new Adam Foster Fine Jewelry Showroom is dark and moody, it’s only part of Foster’s effort to accentuate his collections rather than outshine them.

The architect for the space, Chrissy Hill Rogers of St. Louis architecture firm Arcturis, calls the look “modern Gothic luxury”—“a combination of dark and light that creates a dramatic backdrop for Adam’s one-of-a-kind designs.”

The first like it in St. Louis, this combination studio, showroom, and event space gives Foster and business partner Mary Steward the opportunity to not just entice people to buy but also educate them about the jewelry-making process.

“We make everything we sell, so it’s important that if a customer should say, ‘I don’t understand this. How do you do this?’ we can walk them over and they can see where we’re actually making the work, and we can explain how it is made,” Foster says.
