In his influential Replika project, Peter Bauhuis extends his “archaeological” way of thinking into a new series of wearable rings that feel both contemporary and strangely timeless. Visually oversized yet remarkably comfortable, Replika challenges the very status of the object: Is it an artwork in its own right, or a copy of an earlier original? Bauhuis deliberately plays with repetition and transformation, raising a provocative question—can an artist pirate their own work? In doing so, he invites us to reconsider familiar ideas of authorship, authenticity, and value. Crafted in silver, this ring embodies Bauhuis’s signature precision and conceptual rigor, offering a quietly radical statement within contemporary art jewelry.

This piece plays on scale and use in a fun way. Shrinking down the bed to a scale where you can take it with you but not use it evokes feelings of both comfort and humor.

The Build Bridges pendant is a bold architectural statement piece crafted in sterling silver. Its clean, open lines feel like a tiny modern sculpture, quietly reminding you to choose connection over division. Designed by German‑trained goldsmith Gretchen Raber, it has the thoughtful quality of gallery art you can actually live in, not just look at. This is the kind of meaningful jewelry people notice and ask about, giving you an easy way to share your values wherever you go.

Artist: Coco Sung
Retail price: 1,770€

South Korea-born artist Coco Sung, who lives and works in Berlin, first studied painting (South Korea) and then jewelry design at Burg Giebichenstein under Professor Daniel Kruger. “My artistic practice originates from the fusion of Western painting and jewelry, through which I explore the potential of wearable art as a medium for communication and reflection,” states Sung. “Jewelry, in my work, goes beyond ornamentation—it becomes a social device, a channel that reveals inner emotions and fosters dialogue between individuals. Through form, color, and texture, I visualize human diversity, vulnerability, and inner conflicts.” This brooch, An Effort Not to Become a Narcissist “TIN TIN,” is now on display at Galerie Door’s Mirror Mirror… exhibition.

In everyday life, we consume and discard what we no longer need. Objects such as receipts, banknotes, and empty cans may seem insignificant, but they bear the traces of actions and experiences. Once used, they are thrown away. Itto Mishima is interested in personal memories and recorded moments inscribed in these discarded “paper supports” and materials. These fragments are transformed into contemporary jewelry, drawing on details such as the creases, textures, and imprints left on receipts or crumpled cans.

Retail price: Each NZ$3,000

Karl Fritsch has gained international recognition for his ever-developing body of work, which has focussed almost solely on rings. Fritsch’s jewelry is unmistakable. “Of course, the ring wants to be beautiful. The technique also wants to be beautiful, and most often it’s the idea that wants to be the most beautiful. But sometimes a ring likes nothing better than to sit in the mud and not give a damn about how it looks,” says Fritsch. “If it’s exactly what it wants to be in a given moment, it is precise, perfect, and the most beautiful”. Fritsch has been the recipient of a number of awards including the Herbert Hoffman Prize, from the International Craftsmen Trade Fair in Munich, and the prestigious jury-selected Françoise van den Bosch Award (2006). Originally from Germany, he now lives and works in Wellington, New Zealand.

This collar (an accompanying dress is available as well) was featured in the museum exhibition Fashioning Power/Fashion Peace in 2025 at the Woodrow Wilson Museum, in Washington, DC, as the only ensemble to represent the artist’s country of Iran. (There is a printed catalog.) The collar was inspired by the art and architecture of ancient Persia. Niki Khojandi uses her cultural heritage as a way to process Iran’ s history by using traditional embroidery techniques to create a contemporary narrative. Khojandi was a fashion design student at Parsons, in NYC, when COVID arrived and she was forced to return home. She creates extraordinary art in textiles from her bedroom studio under severe conditions.

Artist: Xiaoyu Li
Retail price: 3,145€

Xiaoyu Li’s series Stone Set Stone explores shifting identity within hybrid cultural spaces. “Stone is not a neutral substrate, but a site where cultural memory, regional ideology, and inherited value gather into form. Stone Set Stone invites these unrealized narratives to surface in their own temporal rhythm, offering a language that emerges through transition rather than articulation. Here, craft becomes a language: a state of becoming in which Li’s carving of stone invites ways of sensing what cannot be fully spoken, yet still shapes how the jewel wishes to speak.” This ring is featured in Things Unsaid, a collaborative exhibition between Pistachios and Precious Collective that will be on view as part of Munich’s jewelry week.
