A large statement necklace like no other, this wearable work of art is made with 3D-printed nylon that has been dyed by hand.

There is a fluidity and flexibility to this piece, which remains lightweight despite its grand scale.

This pendant, Landfill Mineral 2, by Maria Phillips, is part of a body of work resulting from a collaborative project with Seth Papac, during which the two artists exchanged ideas and collected or found materials.

Artist: Marianne Schliwinski
Retail price: 110€
In Marianne Schliwinski’s work, you see contrasts playing together. Her language consists of materials and their different qualities. Things might not always be what they seem—light pieces with a heavy look and weighty works with a light appearance. Schliwinski often combines papier-mâché with found objects. Different paints and lacquers accentuate the materials and shapes. The composition, the materials, and the colors tell sensible, political, and sometimes funny stories.

Artist: Norman Weber
Retail price: 4,300€
The juxtaposition between the real and the imitated is a central theme in Norman Weber’s meticulous constructions. Juwel #4 is part of a series characterized by a deliberate embrace of digital precision in convergence with artisanal techniques. Each component begins as a computer-generated, 3D-printed plastic element, which is then transformed through handcrafted processes such as airbrush painting, partial sanding that gives the piece the illusion of traces or use, and the slow, intentional assembly of the modules, resulting in a playful convergence of contrasts.
Gallery: Platina, Stockholm, Sweden (click the gallery name to link to its website)
Contact: Sofia Bjorkman (click the gallerist’s name for email)
Artist: Janna Syvänoja
Retail price: 1,500€
Janna Syvänoja is known for her jewelry made from recycled printed paper, such as newspapers, maps, catalogs, and old books. They are rich by their past, carrying along certain places and accidental meanings. This material also gives the pieces their individual exterior and interior decoration, their ornaments. The artist decides how the results should be, but in the end the piece take a shape of its own. When certain formed components start to follow each other and find their rhythm in the making, the miracle happens. It is a slow, meditative, and very natural process.
Gallery: Thereza Pedrosa Gallery, Asolo, Italy (click the gallery name to link to its website)

Artist: Jacqueline Ryan
Retail price: 3,600€
Jacqueline Ryan’s creations, inspired by the natural world, surprise with the intensity of their shapes and the richness of their colors, obtained by the most traditional goldsmithing techniques, adapted to the expressive needs of the artist.
Gallery: Zu design, Adelaide, SA, Australia (click the gallery name to link to its website)
Contact: Jane Bowden (click the gallerist’s name for email)
Artist: Chrystel van der Laan
Retail price: $1,550 Aud
Christel van der Laan has a unique way of making the recycled look precious, and it has a lot to do with not only her placement of materials but also her attention to detail. Each work is as beautifully detailed on the back as it is on the front. Her pieces invite you to pick them up and turn them over, helping you to discover what exactly each component is. I personally love brooches because they can be so sculptural—they can look as great on display as they do worn. Pin your brooches on the wall!
Gallery: Galerie Door, Nijmegen, Netherlands (click the gallery name to link to its website)
Contact: Doreen Timmers (click the gallerist’s name for email)
Artist: Tatjana Giorgadse
Retail price: 850€
Tatjana Giorgadse was trained by Theo Smeets and Ute Eitzenhöfer at the department of gemstone and jewelry design in Idar-Oberstein (Germany). Her wonderful world of art has its roots in a free and carefree childhood in the Georgian countryside. To this she adds her contemporary dreams, her fascination for nature, and the frisky playfulness of her own children. Her work is unconventional, stimulating, and a feast for the eyes.

Artist: Iris Hummer
Retail price: 738€, plus shipping
Iris Hummer just graduated from Idar-Obertein and she presents here a body of work made for the series of exhibitions Rings of Saturn, curated by Halo (Marta Costa Reis and Catarina Silva) for the Gemini zodiacal sign. The work presented here is about relationship and friendship. The dialogues and tensions in intimate relations that are translated by the contrast and balance of materials and connections.
For millennia, the zodiac has been a mirror in the sky that reflects human characteristics, our charm, and our deep connection with the cosmos. Inspired by the 12 constellations that mark the astrological cycle, Halo is inviting artists brought together by the chance of being born under the same zodiac sign for group exhibitions over 12 months. Between March 2025 and February 2026, each exhibition will explore the essence of a sign, translated through art, symbolism, and spirituality, creating a dialogue between the astrological universe and human expressions. Astrological signs have fascinated and inspired cultures around the world, symbolizing the forces that connect us to the universe and powerful psychological archetypes that continue to question us. In more than superstition, we wanted to use the language of astrology to provoke artistic acts that connect us to what transcends us, asking the guest artists to reflect on the mystery of the human condition. We wanted to create moments of exploration of the present time, a time of crisis in which it is normal to seek to understand the inexplicable. A time of doubt in which we can aspire to poetry and beauty. The sky has always had this effect of reconnecting us to the rhythm of the world and inspiring us to go further. We are made of stardust.
