Artist: Niki Khojandi
Retail price: US$4,800
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: Itto Mishima
Retail price: €1,700
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.

Lydia Martin is a contemporary jeweler living, working, and teaching in Little Rock, AR, US. Her work, built upon the foundations of technical skill, is an exploration of material skill, surface, line, and movement. Through the use of traditional metalsmithing techniques, she creates pieces that become an investigation of intentions and consequences. She has exhibited both nationally and internationally and is also represented by Jewelers’Werk Galerie, in Washington, DC. Currently, she is the Windgate Visiting Assistant Professor of Art in Metal at UA Little Rock, where she heads the jewelry and metalsmithing program.

Artist: Angela Giuliani
Retail price: AUS$1,700
Part of the JEWEL-tide series, these earrings feature slices of opalized timber framed in oxidized sterling silver. The long, narrow forms draw out the stone’s layered tones—soft greens, browns, and mineral blues—each one reading like a small landscape. Simple, sculptural pieces with a quiet presence.
Gallery: Galerie Door, Nijmegem, Netherlands (click the gallery name to link to its website)
Contact: Doreen Timmers (click the gallerist’s name for email)

This extraordinary artist from Hungary employs an exceptionally wide range of materials, techniques, and forms. In her wearable works of art, you can read stories about past and present, about tradition and individuality, about beauty and protection. All links are hand made, as is the guilloché on Plexiglas, combined with a decorated vintage object. The necklace is now on display at Galerie Door’s Mirror Mirror… exhibition.

Contact: The Team (click the team name for email)
Artist: Gretchen Raber
Retail price: US$2,200.00
The Build Not Destroy pendant is a sleek architectural piece crafted in sterling silver with a bold black onyx accent that gives it real presence. Designed by metalsmith Gretchen Raber, it carries her signature blend of clean lines and meaningful words, so it feels like wearable art with a purpose. The contrast of shining metal and deep stone turns “build not destroy” into a daily reminder to invest your energy in repairing, growing, and supporting. It’s perfect if you want minimal, stylish jewelry that quietly declares what you believe in.

Contact: Bruce Hoffman (click the gallerist’s name for email)
Artist: Natalie Lowe
Retail price: US$440
This brooch centers the remnants of smoking, letting you wear the tokens of your bad habit. In an act of self shaming, you get to carry with you the physical evidence of your bad habit.
Gallery: Thereza Pedrosa Gallery, Asolo, Italy (click the gallery name to link to its website)
Contact: Thereza Pedrosa (click the gallerist’s name for email)
Artist: Benedict Haener
Retail price: €430
Benedict Haener’s Sugar Free Apple pendant transforms an everyday symbol into a quietly subversive piece of contemporary jewelry. Referencing the familiar promise of “sugar free,” Haener plays with ideas of desire, consumption, and the glossy language of marketing—inviting us to question what we are truly craving. The apple, loaded with cultural meanings from temptation to health, becomes both playful and unsettling in his hands. With a sharp eye for concept and form, Haener creates work that sits between object and commentary, charm and critique. Worn close to the body, this pendant becomes a personal statement—sweet, ironic, and unmistakably current.

Gallery: Pistachios Contemporary Art Jewelry, Chicago, IL, US (click the gallery name to link to its website)
Contact: Megan Nash (click the name for email)
Artist: Alexandra Lindqvist
Retail price: €1,365
This remarkable necklace by Alexandra Lindqvist, titled Barefoot In The Glade, “live[s] in the space between touch and emotion, in what cannot be spoken but can be felt through texture, form, and color,” states the artist. “Each material carries its own voice: the warmth of fiber, the cool reflection of silver, and the grain of wood shaped by time. Through making, I give presence to silence. My jewelry becomes a tangible language for the unseen and unheard; a way to express what might have remained hidden if not shaped by the hand.” This necklace is featured in Things Unsaid, a collaborative exhibition between Pistachios and Precious Collective that was on view as part of Munich’s jewelry week.
