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: Caroline Broadhead
Retail price: 4,920€
“Conventionally, pearls have been associated with dignity and composure,” states Caroline Broadhead. “In my piece, there is evidence of something breaking, perhaps, coming undone, the pearls going their own way. This is a combination of two generic types of beaded necklaces, the single string of beads and the beaded collar, but they are integrated and worn at the same time. There’s a double presence.”
- In March 2026, during Munich’s jewelry week, Broadhead gave a wildly popular talk in AJF’s booth at the Messe. Watch her presentation, “Rebellious Beads,” here
Gallery: Zu design, Adelaide, SA, Australia (click the gallery name to link to its website)
Contact: Jane Bowden (click the gallerist’s name for email)
Artist: Vanessa Williams
Retail price: AUS$4,950
Vanessa Williams describes the technique behind her Puffed Pieces, made for Zu design’s recent exhibition, stateMEANT: “I have been using titanium predominantly for many years. I am always looking for new and interesting ways to push the material. These pieces were made using a technique I have been wanting to try with titanium for some time. Titanium is less pliable than other metals and I was not sure if it would work. The metal is cleaned, a ‘blow hole’ drilled in one disc, then the components are laser welded together. Once welded I anneal the titanium with heat in order to make it more flexible. The heat from the torch oxidizes the surface in shades of gray. Once heated and still hot, I use an air gun to inflate the pods. And Puff!”

- “The biggest problem with 3D-printed jewelry is that it looks like it is 3D printed,” wrote Stephen Knott in 2013. “This has resulted in an increasingly anodyne aesthetic for 3D-printed objects.” Enough time has passed that it no longer holds true, especially in Tammik’s piece above. Knott’s article was written at a time of intense hype surrounding 3D printers, which were becoming widely available to consumers. Check it out here
- Khanya Mthethwa won the Susan Beech Mid-Career Artist Grant. Her project used 3D-printing to reimagine the designs of indigenous cultural objects. See her work here
- Check out Benjamin Lignel’s 2015 interview with Nervous System, who push 3D modeling and printing softwares in ways that make them a role model for much of their digitally minded contemporaries. You almost certainly have seen their Radiolaria jewelry

Contact: Mary Curtis (click the gallerist’s name for email)
Artist: Warwick Freeman

Artist: Jesse Aviv
Retail price: US$205
Over a thousand chainmail weaves exist, many with geographic names like European 4-in-1 and Full Persian 6-in-1, each producing its own texture, density, and drape. Jesse Aviv, founder of Free Maison, developed ciphered chainmail to connect them—binding weaves at specific angles and tensions so that the transition itself becomes a design element, structural and visual at once. The Earthworm is engineered from raw rings alone, without stitching, glue, or internal frames. Worked in black anodized aluminum, it won’t oxidize or rust: a finish that lasts a lifetime. Costume designer Molly Rogers wore Free Maison across three premiere events for The Devil Wears Prada 2.
- On the topic of earthworms, Sophie Hanagarth has repeatedly returned to the form of this lowly creature in her jewelry work. Here’s an example of a forged bracelet. You’ll find an interview with the French artist here
- Gravers Lane Gallery focuses on excellence in craftsmanship. Find an interview with its gallerists here
Gallery: Pistachios Contemporary Art Jewelry, Chicago, IL, US (click the gallery name to link to its website)
Contact: Meg Nash (click the gallerist’s name for email)
Artist: Carina Shoshtary
Retail price: 5,495€
“Let the waves come. Let them lift you, rock you, wash over you. You don’t have to defeat the water or understand its turbulence to remain whole. Eventually, the sea will settle and the horizon will open again. And there you are, still afloat.” —Carina Shoshtary. This jaw-dropping statement necklace, titled Deep Waters, is an incredible example of Shoshtary’s exceptional craftsmanship. The pendant can be easily removed and mounted on the wall as a sculpture. This piece will be featured in a collaborative exhibition between Pistachios and Thereza Pedrosa Gallery titled Fireworks in the Rain. The exhibition will be on view at Pistachios before traveling to Munich in March of 2027 for jewelry week.

Gallery: Objects Beautiful, London, UK (click the gallery name to link to its website)
Contact: Yael Reisner (click the gallerist’s name for email)
Artist: Michael Becker
Retail price: £4,420 GBP
All of Michael Becker’s objects are remarkable, exceptionally beautiful, stunningly detailed, and the way he sets the stones is unusual. This ring has a lapis lazuli, incredibly deep blue, mined in Afghanistan, held in an 18-karat gold frame. A very smooth rounded ring that hugs one’s finger.
- See the catalog for Michael Becker: Movement & Colour, presented by The Scottish Gallery. It’s here, in AJF’s digital library

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: Federica Sala
Retail price: 1,030€
Balance is at the heart of Federica Sala’s Confuso brooch. Bringing together two seemingly contrasting materials, glass and marble, Sala creates a compelling dialogue between strength and fragility, weight and lightness, opacity and transparency. Rather than allowing these opposites to compete, she brings them into a delicate equilibrium, creating a composition in which contrasting qualities not only coexist but enhance one another.
- Art jewelry and things of beauty have always been part of Thereza Pedrosa’s life. Find our interview with the gallerist here
Gallery: Four Gallery, Umeå, Sweden (click the gallery name to link to its website)
Contact: Karin Roy Andersson (click the gallerist’s name for email)
Artist: Sofia Björkman
Retail price: 640€, excluding VAT
Sofia Björkman got a 3D pen as a birthday gift, and that was the beginning of a new body of work. Three-dimensional drawings about wilderness, about environmental impact—burnt landscapes, genetically modified plants, and affected animals. The human body is a landscape in which jewelry can be placed. From there the piece can travel, in space and in time, from one context to another.
Gallery: Heidi Lowe Gallery, Lewes, DE, US (click the gallery name to link to its website)
Contact: Heidi Lowe (click the gallerist’s name for email)
Artist: Anika Smulovitz
Retail price: US$540
Made by Anika Smulovitz for the 2026 ReJewelry Exhibition by Radical Jewelry Makeover, hosted by Heidi Lowe Gallery. This piece is made from recycled silver, found wood, and repurposed natural pearls.
- Radical Jewelry Makeover was our guest for AJF Live. Watch the recording of the event here
Gallery: Baltimore Jewelry Center, Baltimore, MD, US (click the gallery name to link to its website)
Contact: J Diamond (click the gallerist’s name for email)
Artist: Rosalie Maguire
Retail price: US$325
The Carousel Earrings are a playfully kinetic pair of sculptural earrings. Tiny horse-like shapes have been constructed from sterling silver scraps, some set with stones. They are intended to evoke strange and fantastical memories while incorporating sound and movement in the form of bodily adornment. Rosalie Maguire is an artist-in-residence at the BJC for the fall session of 2026.
- The Baltimore Jewelry Center is a crafts school, exhibitions gallery, and retail space under one roof. We interviewed Shane Prada, its director, here.
Gallery: Platina, Stockholm, Sweden (click the gallery name to link to its website)
Contact: Sofia Bjorkman (click the gallerist’s name for email)
Artist: Sanna Svedestedt
Retail price: US$1,400
The Dropped Ice Cream brooch refers to the iconic moment when an ice cream cone falls to the ground—a symbol of when the disaster has already happened. The shit has hit the fan, so to speak. But there can be calmness in the eye of the storm. We assess the damage and, wearing our grief proudly, we continue making, and we continue moving forward. Sanna Svedestedt works sculpturally with vegetable-tanned leather and experiments with historical techniques to manipulate and challenge the boundaries of leather as a traditional craft material.
- We interviewed Sofia Björkman about her gallery, Platina, here
- Karin Roy Andersson also uses leather to make art jewelry; here’s an example. She was a finalist for AJF’s 2018 Artist Award. Find an interview with her here. (At the time, she was using plastics instead of leather, but there’s an aesthetic throughline)
