Kicking off this edition, the Heidi Lowe Gallery in Lewes, Delaware, United States, presents a striking brooch by artist Melanie Denis titled Vierge Reliquary for an Impossible Mother II, created in 2026. Priced at US$350, this compelling work was made for the 2026 ReJewelry exhibition by Radical Jewelry Makeover, a project hosted by the gallery. Denis fabricated the piece using a diverse and unconventional palette of materials, including sterling silver, steel, brass, plastic, Plexiglas, photography, ink, silk, a recycled fantasy jewel, and a physical relic, measuring 180 x 80 x 20 mm.

Moving internationally to Lisbon, Portugal, Galeria Tereza Seabra highlights the work of artist Catarina Silva with an untitled pendant from 2026, priced at €650 plus shipping. Crafted from oxidized silver, coralline, and agate with a dimensions profile of 50 x 35 x 8 mm and a 250-mm-long chain, this pendant represents Silva’s most recent creative output for her solo exhibition Jardin d’agrément. The exhibition forms part of the third Lisbon Jewellery Biennial program and imagines a lush, utopian garden inspired by the gardens of paradise and the gods found across various cultures. In this conceptual space, humans, animals, and plants coexist beyond hierarchy within a shared ecology of reciprocity and wonder. Jewelry here transforms into a living constellation of symbols—including apples, unicorns, flowers, birds, and Marian imagery—that evoke knowledge, care, fertility, and transformation. At the heart of the exhibition, the snake emerges not as a tempter, but as a guardian, symbolizing wisdom, regeneration, and the continuous cycle of life. Rather than a lost Eden, Jardin d’agrément serves as a poetic fiction inviting viewers to imagine new ways of inhabiting a world where coexistence is a living practice. Interested buyers can reach gallerist Tereza Seabra directly via email.
In Brooklyn, New York, In the Gallery at Brooklyn Metal Works features the work of artist Kerianne Quick with a brooch titled A Denial, created in 2026 and retailed at US$550. Fabricated from vegetable-tanned leather, Plexiglas, and a nickel alloy pin, the brooch measures 5 x 3 ¼ x ¾ inches. Quick’s research is deeply rooted in craft practice as a cultural expression, with a particular focus on material specificity—a term defined in their master’s thesis to recognize materials as active participants in the meaning-making process. Through their creative practice, Quick seeks to uncover overlooked and hidden stories through object-making, drawing upon the embedded histories of materials to coalesce meaning and create impact. The black-shrouded mirrors from the Nevermind series are constructed from leather and Plexiglas, referencing the historic mourning tradition of covering mirrors after a death. Instead of protecting the spirit of the deceased from its reflection, these obscured mirrors turn the gaze back on the living, materializing shame, culpability, despair, and helplessness. Brian Weissman handles inquiries for the gallery.
Looking to northern Europe, Four Gallery in Umeå, Sweden, presents Brooch 534.24 l, a 2026 work by artist Karin Seufert priced at €700, excluding VAT. Crafted from PVC, silver, and steel with dimensions of 69 x 56 x 24 mm, the piece reflects Seufert’s ongoing exploration of time and emptiness. Because time is complex, ever-changing, and immaterial, it remains difficult to depict visually. To address this, the sky often serves as a tool for orienting oneself in time, with the sun defining days, the moon marking longer phases, and the stars enabling spatial navigation. Seufert’s latest works portray these celestial bodies, rendering the sun as a flickering yellow circle, the moon in its shifting phases, and the stars in multifaceted forms. Karin Roy Andersson manages communications for Four Gallery.
In London, United Kingdom, Objects Beautiful gallery highlights the work of Taiwanese artist Mei Fang Chiang with the brooch The Other Shore #17, created in 2022 and priced at £760 without tax. Measuring 80 x 65 x 28 mm, the piece is fabricated from aluminum and stainless steel wire. Based in Tainan, Taiwan, Chiang is an acclaimed art jeweler whose expertise lies in working uniquely with anodized aluminum through techniques she developed in her own studio, allowing her to apply color in a distinct and beautiful manner. Her work engages with narratives centered on the coexistence of nature and the man-made. An awarded artist whose pieces are held in public collections, including the Gold Museum in Taiwan, Chiang’s jewelry is praised for being original, beautiful, extremely light, and exceptionally comfortable to wear. Yael Reisner serves as the gallery contact.
Gravers Lane Gallery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, showcases Naomi Kurita’s Silver Link Necklace from 2025, priced at US$3,080. Made entirely of sterling silver and running 26 inches in length, the layered chain falls well below the collarbone. A simple chain leaves nowhere to hide, as every link matters—from its proportion and join to the way it moves and rests against the next—representing the quiet precision to which Kurita has dedicated her career. Alongside her original line, Kurita also redesigns pieces around clients’ precious stones, giving long-held or inherited gems a new form. This approach stems from the same conviction guiding her three-decade career: jewelry should be natural, simple, and made to be worn for life. Mia Chen manages gallery inquiries.

Galerie Door in Nijmegen, Netherlands, highlights a 2025 untitled necklace by Daniel Kruger, priced at €4,200 and measuring 94 x 94 x 18 mm. Fabricated from glass vials containing Hindu ritual pigments, pearls, glass flowers, and silver, the piece exemplifies Kruger’s eclectic approach, which combines shells, gemstones, plastic, relics, and fetishes into single compositions. Kruger’s art jewelry is surprising, exuberant, and seductive, inviting viewers to look closer by uniting gemstones with everyday items, and traditional textile work with refined metalwork. Through these combinations, the sublime meets the mundane, the precious meets the cheap, and the classical meets kitsch, drawing the eye to the body while functioning variously as ornament, talisman, statement, or joyful object. Doreen Timmers serves as the gallery contact.
Fingers Gallery in Auckland, New Zealand, features A Night Out, a 2026 brooch by Dunedin-based artist Jane Dodd, priced at NZ$1,750. Measuring 73 x 33 x 22 mm, the brooch is fabricated from ebony, bone, sterling silver, marcasite, and spessartite garnet. Dodd is admired for her high level of technical craftsmanship across gold alloys, silver, bone, wood, and shell. In recent years, her practice has centered on portraying animals with a subtext of human impact and interaction, exploring issues of extinction, infestation, cruelty, and conflict. Strongly influenced by historic European craft traditions while remaining mindful of the environmental costs that enabled such work, Dodd channels these contradictory emotions into pieces of tension, humor, and intrigue. Lisa Higgins manages communications for Fingers Gallery.
