I don’t think wearability is important in contemporary jewelry, and this is what I love about it ... This takes you away for a brief time, from accepted norms, and makes you question for a moment, ideally longer. Any exercise in thinking that has people questioning the status quo is a good thing, especially if it is connected to the act of creation.
