When too much is going on outside, there can be a wish to escape inward. Working with the hands, finding rhythm, can offer a temporary breathing space. Crocheting is, for the Sweden-based jewelry artist Tove Knuts, a way of stepping aside from the noise and entering a meditative state in which time slows down, and thought is allowed to rest. The crochet hook becomes a modest yet resilient tool. It requires no electricity, no fire, only hands, time, and yarn. This very warm feeling is conveyed to the wearer.

Artist: Jorge Manilla
Retail price: 1,200€

Jorge Manilla’s latest body of work is inspired by cave paintings. Generally they are associated with illustrations of everyday life, they communicate ideas, and they express spiritual or magical beliefs, often related to hunting or fertility rituals. In the work Reflexion, Manilla uses casting and patina techniques to bring viewers closer to an understanding of the origins of humanity. Born and raised in Mexico but now living in Belgium, Manilla in his work conveys something raw and sometimes brutal with a gentle sensitivity.

Such an elegant, shiny hair band! The blown glass is particularly strong, and its unique form adds to its structural strength. And for comfort you get also an elastic band that is tied to both sides of the hair band. Perfect.

This Layered Small Square Necklace, by Suzanne Schwartz, features stacked oxidized and bright Argentium silver squares, hand-stitched together with fine silver wire to create a dimensional, softly articulated pendant. Schwartz developed this distinctive stitching approach from her background in textiles and a fascination with translating fiber techniques into metal, giving the piece its signature woven‑metal character.

Mariana Gorga earned the Excellence of Craftsmanship Award – Third Prize, from Alessio Bosch during Roma Jewelry Week, curated by Monica Cecchini, promoted by Incinque Jewels, held at the prestigious archaeological site of the Markets of Trajan – Museum of the Imperial For a. The back of the wing is as masterfully sculpted as the front. The necklace was inspired by the theme “Infinite Baroque,” and by the angelic figures in Caravaggio’s Our Lady of Mercy or The Seven Acts of Mercy (1606–1607) painting, thus the necklace Infinita Misericordia (Infinite Mercy). Originated from a wax core that was later cast in metal and completed with a luminous pearl. The necklace captures the dramatic intensity of the Baroque, reflects human vulnerability, and expresses the aspiration to believe in a celestial universe, transforming the jewel into a symbol of protection and spirituality. Note: 50% of the selling price is a 100% tax-deductible donation to WAM’s non-profit museum which supports the costs of its jewelry presentation with Max Alexander’s runway show at the Paris Opera House on March 3, 2026.

Inspired by the Brutalist architectural movement, this ring by Simon Williams pairs a richly colored tourmaline—beautifully cut by Mitchell Rogers—with a structured gold surround. The oxidized sterling silver band provides a deliberate contrast, giving the piece both strength and balance. Designed to sit comfortably on the hand, the ring transforms into a miniature sculpture when not worn.

Retail price: US$365

A pliable bracelet with so much personality! Each oxidized sterling silver and gold fill tube is cut by hand, then joined together with a needle and thread. Multiple triangles are created first, and then each triangle is bound together using the same method. The result is a bracelet that is quite voluminous but, at the same time, virtually weightless. Emilie Pritchard’s clean, architectural designs are featured in the Pistachios exhibition Built for the Body: The Intersection of Architecture & Jewelry.

Sara Leme, On and Off, 2024, ring in sterling silver, button, 1 ⅛ x 1 ¾ x ¾ inches (30 x 45 x 20 mm), photo: artist — Sara Leme, *On and Off,* 2024, ring in sterling silver, button, 1 ⅛ x 1 ¾ x ¾ inches (30 x 45 x 20 mm), photo: artist

Contact: Paula Crespo (click the gallerist’s name for email)
Artist: Sara Leme
Retail price: 540€

Sara Leme’s work serves as an archaeological trace of our times. In an era of social acceleration, it interrogates how handcrafted silversmithing is perceived through virtual mediation, when technological elements are paired with a slow-paced form of creation. The On and Off ring juxtaposes the organic weight of silver with an everyday electrical switch. Appearing as though one element has grown from the other, the piece operates as a contemporary parable of human rhythm, oscillating between activation and withdrawal—one day “on,” another day “off.”

These earrings are a unique construction, using solder to keep some of the chain static, while the bottom portion retains movement.

Galerie Door proudly presents a nuptial bond of mathematical precision, the absurd and the quotidian. How Sigurd Bronger turns daily objects and pins into great fun. Galerie Door challenges you: Are you wearing all you can sustain? Bronger creates Wearables and Carrying Devices with a technical perfection many engineers would envy. His compositions, with their clean lines and clear forms, betray his love for De Stijl. His subjects, such as cardboard boxes, toilet paper rolls, and other ready-mades, connect him to Pop Art. What makes his work so exceptional is that Bronger imbues his wearables with precisely the kind of expression that challenges our eyes and minds. He is a master at composing balance, form, and imagination. Bronger makes us believe we can carry all we can sustain.

“In my youth, states Rebekah Frank, “Sunday mornings meant dressing up, often including detachable collars, handmade and embroidered with care. I found these pieces uncomfortable, even embarrassing. A different sartorial expression was developing in me from a young age, veering toward a minimal aesthetic, with a preference for layered, monochromatic textures. These draped chain necklaces are part of a series that explore memories of textiles from my childhood. Detachable collars, T-shirt pockets, argyle patterns, and more are created from linked chains. These pieces surprise the wearer with the delicacy of their heft and the unexpected comfort, confidence, and playfulness held in the act of wearing them.” This piece was part of the exhibition Rings of Saturn 10/12 (Capricorn).
