Within this constant state of flux, I continue to question which moments we record and what we pass on to the future.”

This necklace belongs to a body of work that speculatively examines pearls in connection to other materials, celebrating their unique materiality and inherent significance. Through this exploration, the pieces delve deeply into the myth of a life journey that crosses continents, highlighting the dramatic and transformative moments that shape these precious objects and the undeniable beauty they possess. A pierced pearl carries an underlying sense of rebellion, and there’s a raw, defiant energy that runs through the artist’s creative process.

Artists: Dr Dorothy Erickson AM
Retail price: AUS $3,850–$4,400
Syncopation. Like music, visual language can be understood by design principles that work together work to create harmonious relationships between the compositional elements in an artwork. Syncopation, which refers to the introduction of something unpredictable, has the capacity to change and shift expectations. The artist, over her career, has embraced these ideas, reinventing and reinterpreting the intrinsic qualities and pushing the boundaries of her craft with her own divergent approaches. She has a passion for good design, the innovative and democratic use of materials, technical excellence, and the celebration of the hand-made jewelry object. Dr Dorothy Erickson AM’s latest collection is called Hesperia, honoring turn-of-the-century artists Loui Benham, the Creeth sisters, Kate O’Connor, and Marie Tuck. “Hesperia is the name of the Evening Star,” states the artist. “It is also used to denote a western land, and I have created a new collection of jewelry and bodyworks inspired by, and a tribute to, the women who were among the first to make art their profession in Western Australia, a land the founding father wished to call Hesperian. Many of these women were also stars in their own time but are now forgotten.”

Artist: Maria Eife

This piece is made of hand-dyed SLS nylon, an unconventional material for jewelry. It’s a very sculptural piece that may at first appear to be unwearable. With the smart construction of this piece, it twists in a unique way to be able to be worn. The gradient is a striking visual element, along with the taper of the width of the necklace and the ribbed texture. Gravers Lane Gallery has this piece available in a white to gray gradient.

Gallery: Baltimore Jewelry Center, Baltimore, MD, US (click the gallery name to link to its website)
Contact: Allison Gulick (click the name for email)
Artist: Laurel Fulton
Retail price: US $635
This piece by Laurel Fulton is currently on view at the Baltimore Jewelry Center as part of Fulton’s exhibition, One Day You’ll See. The exhibition consists of a series of ocular devices that shift the participants’ visual perception of the world and individuals around them. When we say “I see,” we mean “I understand,” and we often think “to see is to believe.” However, when we see, we are interpreting, determining, and evaluating the data our eyes send us. As a result, there is no singular or universal way to interpret the world.

This piece of hair jewelry by Huimin Zhang is hugely original, with a highly personal expression.

Zhang created her hair pin inspired by a deep resonance with nature, expressed abstractly through the grandeur of mountains, rivers.

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: Pavel Opočenský
Retail price: €4,300
“Pavel always works on the hardest material, as if this challenge were part of his process of artistic creation. … This approach requires the artist to investigate the material, to imagine the invisible and make it perceptible … In doing so, Pavel pushes things to the limit, makes light penetrate hardness, a spectacle that does not just try to impress. His brooches convey an unexpected depth, also the play of shadows adds new dimensions to the pieces … Pavel’s hand is peerless, not surrendering to fashion or to subjective taste, he remains faithful to himself.” (Text by Olga Zobel Biro, adapted.)
