The article is a ghastly paid for, puff piece which at the very least needs hacking back. Theroadislong (talk) 15:14, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think after my edits the article looks quite neutral and factual now. It is definitely on par with some other article for the American jewelry designers like David Webb or Kimberly McDonald that I used as references. I also welcome Mr. Guye as the reviewer for this article to join the discussion. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 16:39, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The article WAS a ghastly paid for, puff piece, thank you for your improvements. Though why you would use such a poor quality article like Kimberly McDonald as a reference I can’t fathom! Theroadislong (talk) 16:43, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Theroadislong thank you for taking your time to improve the article. Just follow American jewelry designers category, you'll be amazed by the quality of the articles there. I don't know the real reason for this. I assume that: a) Wikipedia editors lack expertise in this particular area, b) work of jewelry designers doesn't get their fair share of media coverage (esp. from big media). -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 18:36, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, this isn't worth speedy deletion. It's not pure advertising. It has a somewhat promotional tone, but that's not pure advertising.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  22:43, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please recover the information about museum piece

Dear Theroadislong please recover the information about museum piece being present at the collection of Museum of Arts and Design. You removed it with the comment "only because he gave it to them!". This is an assumption. We don't know for sure whether the designer gave his piece to the museum or the museum valued it as a piece of contemporary art and asked for it. We only know that the Brillante (2008) bracelet is currently featured in the permanent collection of Museum of Arts and Design (the fact). So please revert. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 15:47, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The source says "Gift of Paolo Costagli, New York, 2008". It is clearly not notable to mention that he gave a piece to the museum it's just promotional on his part. Theroadislong (talk) 16:00, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Fair comment. Point taken. Removed for a good reason. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 16:21, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
