The Australian Helen Britton is one of the world's leading designers for author's jewelry. As an excellent connoisseur of the worldwide jewelry scene, she is the curator of SCHMUCK 2022 and thus selected the 63 participants from over 650 submissions for the special exhibition 2022, which this year has been canceled. Nina Gassauer talked to the artist about her work, the entries for SCHMUCK in the exceptional year 2020, and the importance of author's jewelry in times like these.
