In response to the shock wave of the pandemic, jewelry artists made work and galleries and museums organized exhibitions. We asked you to send in photos. You inundated us with images—thanks for participating!
In this installment we’re featuring jewelry from around the world. Some of the work relates to the lockdown—feelings of isolation, fear of shortages, working with whatever’s at hand. Other pieces are political. Many have to do with keeping safe, such as amulets that serve in a protective capacity or masks. Some pieces speak to social distancing. Still others riff on the shape of the virus.
There’s more to come. We’ll continue to publish all the remaining photos over the coming weeks, split into digestible installments for you to enjoy more easily.
