Detail
Highlight: Five brooches and two earrings mounted and secured with monofilament to an etched sheet of frosted acrylic. Acrylic is bumped out over a vinyl image of historic painting on the wall. Mounts made for A View from the Jeweler's Bench at Bard Graduate Center Gallery
Highlight: Steel mount for quartz and aquamarine specimen (private collection). Because this was a private collection and not a museum object they approved the use of white round stickers to mark intended end points for the mount. This mount was intended to be an "honest" mount, meaning not painted so it remains more visible.
