Adornments | Jewelry


"The period, the region, the craftsmanship, the former ownership - for a true collector the whole background of an item adds up to the magic encyclopedia whose quintessence is the fate of his object." - Walter Benjamin



Naga necklaces, antique Moroccan charms.
Adornments from the lands of the historically adornment-savvy.

Many pieces here are by artist Jewels - a veteran traveler and collector of treasures. In her Santa Fe and Marrakesh workshops, Jewels re-imagines trade beads, ancient coins, shaman's earrings, bits of coral – into jewelry that is inspired and new.
