The latest edition features a diverse array of pieces ranging from sculptural brooches and conceptual pendants to sustainable rings and narrative necklaces, curated across multiple continents.
Pistachios Contemporary Art Jewelry in Chicago, Illinois, presents a striking convertible piece by artist Heather Guidero. Priced at US$1,695, the brooch and necklace features a lilac-colored druzy crystal paired with handmade oxidized sterling silver tassels that create a dynamic sense of movement. Designed with an integrated bail, the piece offers versatility, functioning seamlessly as either a brooch or a pendant.
At the Wearable Art Museum, directed by Lisa M. Berman, artists 2Roses present "Perch," a 2026 brooch crafted from polymer clay and stainless steel, priced at US$750. Known for creating small, one-of-a-kind sculptures designed to be worn anywhere on the body, 2Roses pairs two hollow forms covered in meticulously cut and finished polymer clay tesserae. The surface shimmers with movement, contrasting a dark, closed form with a pale, open counterpart held in permanent tension and balance. The wearer completes the composition by choosing the placement and angle, effectively recomposing the work with every wear.
Fingers Gallery in Auckland, New Zealand, features "Play Time," a 2024 series of pendants by Becky Bliss crafted from mild steel, sterling silver, paint, and cord. Priced at NZ$750 each, the works draw on Bliss’s background as a graphic designer and her recognition in Munich’s prestigious Schmuck special exhibition. The pendants anthropomorphize the foundational building blocks for child development formalized by Friedrich Froebel in the early 1800s, utilizing circles, squares, and triangles to explore color, form, and gender while subverting traditional boundaries through endless combinations.
In the Netherlands, Galerie Door in Nijmegen showcases an untitled 2026 brooch by Daniel Kruger, made from copper and cornelian and priced at 2,000 euros. Kruger’s practice collapses boundaries by combining materials ranging from gemstones and everyday objects to traditional textiles and refined metalwork. Blending the sublime with the mundane, the precious with the cheap, and the classical with the kitsch, Kruger’s jewelry functions simultaneously as ornament, talisman, and statement piece, drawing the eye to the neck, chest, hand, or ear.
Zu design in Adelaide, Australia, highlights Angela Giuliani’s "Parti Sapphire" ring, priced at AUS$8,615. Created for the gallery’s contemporary jewelry exhibition "stateMEANT"—which brings together bold, thoughtful works with social, political, environmental, or material narratives—the ring is crafted from parti sapphires, 9-karat gold, and sterling silver. Giuliani’s work explores structure, form, and geometry, utilizing clean lines and careful craftsmanship to create timeless pieces designed for lasting connection.
Four Gallery in Umeå, Sweden, presents Karin Seufert’s "Necklace 539," crafted from PVC and thread and priced at 1,700 euros excluding VAT. Seufert’s latest works grapple with the immaterial concepts of time and emptiness, using the sky as a navigational tool to portray celestial bodies, including the sun as a flickering yellow circle, the moon in its shifting phases, and the stars in multifaceted forms.
Gravers Lane Gallery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, features an 18-karat yellow gold and sterling silver necklace by Naomi Kurita, priced at US$4,752. Drawing on a 30-year career shaped by natural, simple, and wearable design principles, Kurita pairs metals of differing warmth at a 15-inch length that sits close to the base of the neck, reflecting a career marked by exhibitions across museums and galleries in the US and Japan.
Baltimore Jewelry Center in Baltimore, Maryland, showcases Liz Clark’s "Petite Wreath Studs," a pair of sterling silver earrings priced at US$175. Clark, a Virginia Commonwealth University BFA graduate based in Providence, Rhode Island, maintains a part-time metal studio and exhibits her work nationally.

Crafted from anodized aluminum and stainless steel wire using techniques developed in Chiang’s studio, the extremely light and comfortable piece engages with narratives surrounding the coexistence of nature and the man-made.
In the Gallery at Brooklyn Metal Works in Brooklyn, New York, features Kerianne Quick’s "Well, It’s Not Up to Us," a 2026 brooch made from vegetable-tanned leather, Plexiglas, and a nickel alloy pin, priced at US$650. Quick’s research centers on "material specificity," utilizing object-making to uncover hidden cultural histories. The brooch belongs to the "Nevermind" series of black-shrouded mirrors referencing traditional mourning practices, turning the gaze back on the viewer to materialize complex emotions such as shame, despair, and culpability.
Galeria Tereza Seabra in Lisbon, Portugal, highlights Catarina Silva’s "Sugar Rush," a 2026 necklace crafted from painted tin, leather, glass seed beads, glass flowers, embroidery, zinc, silver, and pearls, priced at 1,500 euros plus shipping.
