The jewellery you are now wearing, what material is it made of? Silver, wood, glass? Eggshell or 3D-printed algae by any chance?

Klimt02's Material Stories series attempts to examine various of these perspectives. Stay tuned to explore gold, gems, pearls and recycled materials. But first, an introduction: if materials are not neutral, what is at stake?
