Jewelry That Makes You Think.

New Jewelry from Our Member Galleries
By Art Jewelry Forum

Sensuality plays an important role in Daniel Kruger’s work. The shapes, materials, patterns, and colors are carefully combined to create visual impact but also to affect the viewer and wearer’s senses. Many of the pieces have a distinct erotic quality. Kruger picked up the shoe taps used in this necklace from the street a long time ago. He kept them in a bottle in which his mother stored coriander seeds in her spice cupboard. The stones were also collected from the roadway, as were the other bits and pieces, things that show the wear and tear of time.
