Art Jewelry Forum (AJF) has launched the first installment of its October 2026 "On Offer" series, presenting an international showcase of contemporary art jewelry curated through its extensive network of gallery supporters. Designed to connect collectors and art enthusiasts with extraordinary, hand-selected pieces, the bi-monthly feature highlights works that span innovative materials, conceptual storytelling, and master craftsmanship.
The latest edition features creations from renowned and emerging artists exhibited across a diverse lineup of international galleries, inviting viewers to explore wearable art that challenges traditional definitions of jewelry.
Among the standout pieces is a brooch and necklace combination by artist Heather Guidero, exhibited by Pistachios Contemporary Art Jewelry in Chicago, Illinois. Priced at US$1,695, the one-of-a-kind piece features a lilac-colored druzy stone paired with handmade oxidized sterling silver tassels that provide dynamic movement. Complete with an integrated bail, the versatile work can be worn either as a brooch or suspended as a pendant.
Exploring the boundaries of sculpture and adornment, the Wearable Art Museum presents Perch, a 2026 brooch by the artist duo 2Roses. Available for US$750, the piece is crafted from polymer clay and stainless steel, measuring 4 by 4 by 1.5 inches. The work comprises two hollow forms covered in meticulously cut and finished polymer clay tesserae that shimmer with movement. One dark and closed form is set in permanent tension and balance against a pale and open form, allowing the wearer to complete the composition by determining the placement and angle of the piece on the body.
From Auckland, New Zealand, Fingers Gallery features Play Time, a 2024 series of pendants by Becky Bliss priced at NZ$750 each. Trained as a graphic designer before transitioning to contemporary jewelry, Bliss has exhibited widely, including selections in Munich’s prestigious Schmuck exhibition. Her current works are crafted from mild steel, sterling silver, paint, and cord, anthropomorphizing the early-19th-century kindergarten building blocks formalized by Friedrick Froebel. By utilizing shapes from gift number two—circles, squares, and triangles—the pendants playfully subvert traditional ideas of color, form, and gender.
Galerie Door in Nijmegen, Netherlands, presents an untitled 2026 brooch by Daniel Kruger, priced at 2,000 euros. Kruger’s work is known for bringing together disparate elements such as shells, gemstones, plastics, relics, and everyday objects into seductive and mischievous compositions. By merging the sublime with the mundane and traditional textile work with refined metalwork, Kruger creates jewelry that functions simultaneously as an ornament, a talisman, and a personal statement.
In Adelaide, Australia, Zu design showcases a 2026 ring by Angela Giuliani titled Parti Sapphire, priced at AUS$8,615.

Fabricated from vegetable-tanned leather, Plexiglas, and a nickel alloy pin, the work is part of the Nevermind series. The black-shrouded mirrors reference mourning traditions of covering household mirrors after a death, turning the reflection back onto the living to materialize themes of accountability and despair.
