More than decoration. Contemporary art jewelry as desire, discourse, and discovery.

Jialin Jin (Kelly)

Jialin Jin (Kelly) is a jewelry artist whose work is inspired by organisms’ nervous systems. Her pieces explore multi-layered structures and intricate lines, aiming to translate the complexity of microscopic biological processes into wearable art.


Her jewelry often incorporates silicone as a primary material, creating soft, tactile pieces that merge organic forms with contemporary design. The emphasis on movement, growth, and nerve-like structures suggests an interest in the intersection of science and aesthetics.

The piece in the image reflects her signature approach, using translucent, cellular forms combined with bold red fibers to evoke a sense of life and energy. The flowing elements mimic nerve pathways, reinforcing the connection between body, biology, and adornment.
