The new exhibition by Hartog & Henneman—opening October 18, 2025, at Galerie Door—builds on the idea of shape. The possibilities of shapes are endless. But everyone knows the basics: triangle, sphere, cube. With those and other basic shapes, you can create new forms—something we learn early on with building blocks or tic tac toc (an early education toy with which players create various figures with wooden shapes). The collection is made up of individual basic elements, both flat and three-dimensional: squares and cubes, triangles and pyramids, circles and cylinders, but also spheres, arches, and beams—in all shapes and sizes. These individual pieces are made to be played with: stacked or arranged, tied or built. The elements are intentionally imperfect. Their rough texture emphasizes the sculptural quality of each form. With this new series, Hartog & Henneman invite you to translate your imagination into your own monumental, wearable form.

An evolution of Linda van Niekerk’s earlier Cloud series, Melting Weathered Clouds captures the drama of a storm cloud caught in transition. The heat-oxidized silver introduces a striking depth of tone, while the cascading elements suggest clouds dissolving into rain. Versatile in design, the piece is not fixed to a single orientation—the wearer is invited to experiment with how the falling forms are arranged on the body, offering a unique experience each time it is worn.

Retail price: 2,214€, plus shipping

Internationally renowned Swiss artist Esther Brinkmann is one of the artists taking part in the seventh exhibition of the Rings of Saturn cycle at Galeria Tereza Seabra, curated by HALO (Catarina Silva and Marta Costa Reis). Participating artists made new work around the Libra constellation especially for this exhibition. Some words from Brinkmann: “Timelessness. The constellations evoke a temporality beyond the human scale. Thinking about this dimension beyond my daily life, I chose to make four brooches with fossil oak wood combined with mother-of-pearl and pearls. Oak stilts have been underground for hundreds or even thousands of years before being unearthed, pearls and mother-of-pearl have been patiently secreted in fresh- or salt water. The beauty of a starry night sky echoes with the mystery of dark underground.”

Artist: Huimin Zhang
Retail price: GBP£11,320, at a special reduced price offer until the end of October, by £700, plus VAT

This ring is one of the highlights of Zhang’s Mammary Gland series, which promotes the idea that even brief lives should bloom like summer flowers, radiating beauty and energy. Zhang developed her own wire-drawing tools to efficiently craft 22-karat gold threads as thin as 0.07 mm, believing the fusion of techniques such as Chinese filigree and European gold embroidery is crucial for preserving traditional craftsmanship.

A shooting star in London, Zhang keeps collecting awards—the Gold Medal for Wire Innovation, in 2025, and the Goldsmith’s fair winner, in 2024, pointing at this beautiful series. Zhang lives in Beijing and London.

The shimmering jewelry of Rachelle Thiewes evokes the grandeur of the human form, along with the natural wonders of her home, located near the Chihuahuan Desert, in western Texas. Whether assembled from multiple parts that actually move, or crafted from stable elements that virtually sweep one’s field of vision along vibrantly colored surfaces, her engaging jewelry addresses the body, the environment, and the viewer. PAINT: Rachelle Thiewes, her recent exhibition at the El Paso Museum of Art, showcased a body of work inspired by the brilliant hues of lowrider automotive paint that enliven the Chihuahuan Desert landscape.

This pendant belongs to the series Red and is shaped like a flower. The material is aluminum colored with anodization and combined with nylon, with strong connections to outdoor activities and sporting equipment. The form and surface are shaped with a hammer in an expression close to vegetation with inspiration from the repetition of forms in foliage and flowers, but with a clear imprint of the human hand.

Longing is connected to melancholy, nostalgia, loneliness, and maybe naive romance. Longing for something unattainable absorbs our thoughts, but it can also get us closer to ourselves and to others. Longing can be something recognizable, connecting, and present. The work of Ketli Tiitsar is made up of personal layers of history, but it invites us to take part and to connect.

Retail price: US$7,495

“‘Things unsaid’ represents my inner nature, my true essence, a quiet state of simply being,” states Eunhee Cho. “Through my nature, I wish to create a silent resonance with the nature of others.”

This incredible statement necklace is made entirely from hanji paper, accented with a pearl at the closure. Cho’s work explores traditional Korean craft techniques and materials, combined with innovative experimentation. Hanji paper is twisted and woven—a process called Jiseung—transforming the material into poetic, sculptural forms.  You really must see it in three dimensions—the technique is glorious! Watch a video here. This piece is in the exhibition Things Unsaid, currently on view at Pistachios.

Inspired by piles of grass clippings, artist Jolynn Santiago fuses silver wire fragments within a hand-carved graphite mold to create a visible cycle of renewal from the debris.

Santiago holds an MFA in metal from the State University of New York at New Paltz, and her work has been exhibited internationally. This series is featured in her current solo exhibition, at Brooklyn Metal Works.

Gallery: Galeria Reverso, Lisbon, Portugal (click the gallery name to link to its website)
Contact: Paula Crespo (click the gallerist’s name for email)
Artist: Iris Bodemer
Retail price: 1,685€

Iris Bodemer constructed her 2006 series of works like a picture story. Over 50 brooches mounted on small boards form an overall picture, yet each unit is also independent. When the brooch is worn, the empty space remains on the board hanging on the wall. The brooches are made exclusively from stones, wool, and alternative materials. No distinction is made between the materials in terms of value. The shapes, colors, and structures of the materials come together in the brooches to form a drawing, in dialogue with classic graphic elements on the board.
