Home Again
- Sterling Silver, Recycled Pearls
- VCU x Radical Jewelry Makeover
- 2024
Radical Jewelry Makeover (RJM) is an international community jewelry mining and recycling project focused on education and collaboration. It brings together jewelers, working together to examine mining issues while making innovative jewelry from recycled sources.
Home Again is based on the idea of providing the pearls a place to rest again. Before they were taken off their original necklace, before they were donated, before they were strung up ; they were still in the place they were born. I used a sheet of recycled silver to create a clam like bangle that would hold the pearls using only tension. I thought they might enjoy the familiar feeling.
