Yuri Tozuka
Yuri Tozuka’s Tiger, Tigeror (2018) features two striking silver tigers that feel ready to spring into motion. Made from sterling and fine silver with coral and urushi lacquer details, the paired figures are shown mid-stride with open mouths, as if caught in a roar. Multi-strand chains extend from their bodies and tails, connecting to flowing…

Zhipeng Wang
Zhipeng Wang’s Heart of Ocean #24 achieves a profound synthesis of natural beauty and cultural introspection within the intimate scale of a brooch. The work centers on a gracefully contoured pink shell, its iridescent surface shimmering with delicate gradients of rose and luminous pearl tones that respond subtly to shifting light. Two luminous Akoya pearls…

Anke Huyben
Anke Huyben’s Pearl Necklace subverts expectations of classical adornment by embedding the artist’s own fragmented body into a wearable object that oscillates between elegance and unease. Strung on yellow thread, the necklace consists of individually rolled beads formed from vinyl prints of the artist’s nude form including vulnerable poses, skin, and intimate gestures reduced to…

Adriana Gómez
Herencias 2 materializes the complex interplay of inheritance and otherness as a relational object that bridges intimacy and distance. Composed of two distinct yet interconnected bulbous forms linked by an extended, sinuous tube, the piece extends laterally and refuses a singular focal point or orientation. Its structure distributes presence and weight evenly, guiding attention along…

Sarah Montagnoli
Sarah Montagnoli’s Catch of the Day – Holy Ghost – MP operates as a suspended sculpture that embodies the artist’s signature approach to pillowed metal forms as vessels for encapsulating personal fragments. Fabricated from copper, brass, sterling silver, powder coat, cotton, and lame, the work presents a densely articulated, cloud-like silhouette that hovers between relic…

Mary Hallam Pearse
The necklace Sugar and Spice (2023) by Mary Hallam Pearse is structured as an accumulation of interlocking forms that refuse a single point of orientation. The piece extends laterally across the collar bone, distributing weight and attention evenly directing it toward a central element, the bow. Its composition is continuous, with each segment feeding into…

Nassrin Vessalian
The necklace, Sundown (2018), by Nassrin Vessalian, presents itself as a dense, compact form, its scale intimate yet materially expansive. The object is roughly cubic, its softened edges resisting strict geometry while maintaining a sense of containment. Suspended from a thin cord, the piece appears both weighted and precarious, as if the mass it carries…

Ruudt Peters
The brooch SUCTUS “Aspirazione” (2018) by Ruudt Peters stages a precise negotiation between containment and emergence. Formally, the object is structured as a shallow, asymmetrical silver vessel. Its geometry neither fully organic nor strictly industrial. The outer shell presents a matte, controlled surface, its muted tonality absorbing light rather than reflecting it. This restraint establishes…

Terhi Tolvanen
There is a particular kind of beauty that doesn’t ask for approval. It doesn’t shimmer prettily under gallery lighting or offer itself up as ornament in any conventional sense. Instead, it insists on its own terms, through its own logic that you come closer, look harder, and reconsider what you thought you understood about nature,…

Mia Kwon
Mia Kwon’s Balance brooch is constructed from Mont-Blanc porcelain, slip cast into repeated pleated segments that are later assembled into a complete circular form. Each fluted module is individually shaped, pigmented, fired, and polished to a slick, almost lacquered surface. The units are then sewn together with thread and reinforced with silver and steel findings.…
