Available for a retail price of US$1,695, this versatile brooch and necklace combination features a stunning lilac-colored druzy that sparkles with a rare and captivating intensity.

Inquiries regarding this piece can be directed to Meg Nash via email.
2Roses at the Wearable Art Museum
Exploring the boundaries of sculpture and adornment, the Wearable Art Museum highlights the work of artist duo 2Roses with their 2026 brooch titled Perch. Priced at US$750, under the direction of Lisa M. Berman, this piece exemplifies the artists’ philosophy of crafting small, one-of-a-kind sculptures built to be worn anywhere on the human body. Perch pairs two hollow forms covered in meticulously cut and finished polymer clay tesserae, creating a shimmering surface that catches the light and shifts dynamically as the wearer moves. One form remains dark and closed, while the other is pale and open, tipped against the first in a state of permanent tension and delicate balance. By choosing where on the body the piece is placed and the specific angle of its positioning, the wearer actively completes the composition, effectively recomposing the work with every single placement by design.
Becky Bliss at Fingers Gallery
Traveling to Auckland, New Zealand, Fingers Gallery presents Play Time, a 2024 series of pendants by artist Becky Bliss. Offered at NZ$750 each and represented by Lisa Higgins, Bliss brings her foundational training in graphic design into the realm of contemporary art jewelry. Her distinguished career includes prestigious inclusion in collections and selections for the renowned Schmuck special exhibition in Munich in both 2015 and 2020. Describing the collection, Bliss notes that Play Time represents a family of works that playfully engages with color, forms, and gender. The pieces subvert expectations through endless combinations, demonstrating the fluidity of youth and the boundaryless expression of play. By anthropomorphizing the fundamental building blocks of child development—formalized by kindergarten system founder Friedrich Froebel in the early 1800s through a series of pedagogical "gifts"—these pendants draw directly from the fundamental shapes of gift number two, namely circles, squares, and triangles.
Daniel Kruger at Galerie Door
In Nijmegen, the Netherlands, Galerie Door showcases an untitled 2026 brooch by celebrated artist Daniel Kruger, priced at 2,000€. Directed by Doreen Timmers, the gallery highlights Kruger’s unique ability to merge disparate material histories into a single cohesive ornament. Asking what a shell, a gemstone, a piece of plastic, a relic, and a fetish could possibly have in common, Kruger answers the question through jewelry that is surprising, exuberant, mischievous, and deeply seductive. By combining gemstones with everyday objects, and traditional textile work with refined metalwork, Kruger bridges the sublime and the mundane, the precious and the cheap, the classical and the kitsch. The resulting works draw the eye naturally to the neck, chest, hand, or ear, serving variously as ornaments, talismans, statements, or simply irresistible objects designed to bring lasting joy.
Angela Giuliani at Zu design
In Adelaide, Australia, Zu design presents a striking ring titled Parti Sapphire, created in 2026 by artist Angela Giuliani. Priced at AUS$8,615 and managed by gallerist Jane, the piece is part of the gallery’s ongoing exhibition stateMEANT. This thematic showcase gathers bold, thoughtful works that carry a distinct voice, whether exploring social, political, and environmental themes or quietly contemplating materials, process, sustainability, and the realities of everyday life. Giuliani’s contribution explores structure, form, and geometry through the skillful integration of parti sapphires, nine-karat gold, and sterling silver. With a finger size of M and a height spanning 30 millimeters from the base of the band to the top, the ring embodies the artist’s dedication to clean lines, simple shapes, and the deliberate balance inherent in geometric design. Giuliani emphasizes that the making process is as essential as the final object, aiming to create thoughtful, well-made, and timeless jewelry that fosters a lasting connection with the wearer over years to come.
Karin Seufert at Four Gallery
Moving to Umeå, Sweden, Four Gallery features Necklace 539, a 2026 creation by artist Karin Seufert crafted from PVC and thread, available for 1,700€ excluding VAT under the stewardship of Karin Roy Andersson. Exploring the immaterial and complex nature of time—much like the concept of emptiness—Seufert’s latest works utilize celestial bodies as visual anchors for temporal orientation. Just as the sun defines the rhythm of days, the moon marks longer phases, and stars allow for spatial navigation, Seufert’s necklaces translate these cosmic phenomena into tangible form, depicting the sun as a flickering yellow circle, the moon in its shifting phases, and the stars through multifaceted geometries.
Naomi Kurita at Gravers Lane Gallery
In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Gravers Lane Gallery presents an elegant yellow gold and silver necklace created in 2025 by Naomi Kurita. Priced at US$4,752 and coordinated by Mia Chen, the 15-inch necklace reflects a career spanning three decades guided by three simple words: natural, simple, wearable. Born in Japan, Kurita began her jewelry education in Denver before specializing in metalwork at the Rhode Island School of Design, subsequently refining her craft alongside master artisans in New York. This timeless piece sets the warm tones of 18-karat yellow gold against the cooler luster of sterling silver in a length designed to sit closely at the base of the neck, building upon a portfolio previously exhibited in museums, galleries, and fine stores across the United States and Japan.
Liz Clark at Baltimore Jewelry Center
The Baltimore Jewelry Center in Maryland features the Petite Wreath Studs, a 2023 pair of sterling silver earrings crafted by Liz Clark. Priced at US$1,700—wait, corrected to US$175—these earrings measure one by one by one-half inch each and are presented through gallery contact J Diamond. Clark earned her BFA in crafts and material studies from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2006 and currently maintains a metal studio in Providence, Rhode Island, where she divides her time between art-making and exhibiting her work nationally.
Mei Fang Chiang at Objects Beautiful
In London, United Kingdom, Objects Beautiful gallery highlights The Other Shore #2, a 2022 brooch crafted from anodized aluminum and stainless steel wire by artist Mei Fang Chiang. Priced at £760 before tax and represented by gallerist Yael Reisner, Chiang is based in Tainan, Taiwan, and is widely recognized for her mastery of anodized aluminum. Through specialized studio techniques developed over years of practice, she achieves a uniquely vibrant use of color while engaging with broader narratives concerning the coexistence of nature and the man-made. Her award-winning pieces, which reside in public institutions such as the Gold Museum in Taiwan, are celebrated for being exceptionally light, original, and remarkably comfortable to wear.
Kerianne Quick at In the Gallery at Brooklyn Metal Works
In Brooklyn, New York, In the Gallery at Brooklyn Metal Works presents Well, It’s Not Up to Us, a 2026 brooch by artist Kerianne Quick. Priced at US$650 and coordinated by Brian Weissman, the piece is constructed from vegetable-tanned leather, Plexiglas, and a nickel alloy pin, measuring approximately three and a half by eight and a half by one and a quarter inches. Quick’s research is deeply anchored in craft as cultural expression, focusing on "material specificity"—a concept defined in their master’s thesis that treats materials as active participants in meaning-making. This piece belongs to the Nevermind series of black-shrouded "mirrors" constructed from leather and Plexiglas, which reference historical mourning traditions of covering household mirrors after a death. Rather than shielding the spirit of the deceased, these obscured surfaces turn the reflective gaze directly back toward the living, materializing complex emotional realities such as shame, culpability, despair, and helplessness.
Catarina Silva at Galeria Tereza Seabra
In Lisbon, Portugal, Galeria Tereza Seabra presents Sugar Rush, a 2026 necklace by Catarina Silva crafted from painted tin, leather, glass seed beads, glass flowers, embroidery, zinc, silver, and pearls, available for 1,500€ plus shipping under the direction of Tereza Seabra. This intricate piece represents Silva’s latest contribution to her solo exhibition Jardin d’agrément, featured within the official program of the third Lisbon Jewellery Biennial. Inspired by utopian paradise gardens and mythological gardens across cultures, the exhibition envisions an inclusive ecology where humans, animals, and plants coexist harmoniously beyond hierarchy. Through symbols including apples, unicorns, flowers, birds, and Marian iconography, the jewelry acts as a constellation reflecting knowledge, care, fertility, and transformation, with the central figure of the snake serving as a guardian of wisdom and regeneration rather than a tempter.
Emily Cobb at Heidi Lowe Gallery
At the Heidi Lowe Gallery in Lewes, Delaware, artist Emily Cobb presents Floppy Flower, a 2026 work measuring 30 by eight by one and a half inches and priced at US$1,480, with inquiries managed by Kassadi Williams. Fabricated entirely from assorted deadstock stud earrings, gold-plated brass ear nuts, surgical steel ear nuts, brass jump rings, and a silver-filled jump ring, the piece was specifically created for the ReJewelry exhibition hosted by the Radical Jewelry Makeover initiative.
Manuel Vilhena at Galeria Reverso
Also in Lisbon, Portugal, Galeria Reverso features an untitled 2026 necklace by Manuel Vilhena, crafted from juniper, ebony, fine silver, cotton, coral, and steel, measuring 200 by 200 by 30 mm. Priced at 2,220€ and presented by gallerist Paula Crespo, the work addresses one of humanity’s most enduring dichotomies: the precarious dance between life and death. Vilhena explores this philosophical tension through the lens of historical outlaws who daily defied mortality, noting that the piece reflects the adventures of a notorious gang of evildoers who live alongside death as a permanent partner.
Gigi Mariani at Thereza Pedrosa Gallery
Rounding out the October presentation, the Thereza Pedrosa Gallery showcases Infiltrazioni, a 2026 brooch in gold, niello, and silver measuring 45 by 42 by 6 mm by artist Gigi Mariani. Priced at 3,170€ and coordinated by Thereza Pedrosa, the brooch encapsulates the latest evolution in Mariani’s artistic trajectory. Created for the exhibition My Private Garden, the piece incorporates niello not merely as a final surface finish, but as an intrinsic component of the structural making process itself. Combined with newly worked gold that introduces an unprecedented tactile dimension, the work remains unmistakably characteristic of Mariani’s hand while charting the ongoing development of his celebrated practice, a milestone further documented in the artist’s newly published monograph.
