What is a tangible manifestation for the things unsaid?
How can we extend the voice of materiality through acts of making?
Where does the metaphysical influence the language of jewellery?
The duality and texture of storytelling through and with jewellery is sometimes a transitional state that is not fully understood, nor needs to be in many cases.
Materiality is changed with imbued meaning that creates a new way in seeing the jewel and how it wishes to speak to us.
Perhaps the things unsaid need their moment, their voice to extend into a visible language that alludes to what may have been if spoken and heard.
“Things Unsaid” theme words by Mark Mcleish
Mark Mcleish, another central figure of Precious Collective, is a key part of the brains trust of the group, as well as a distinctive voice behind this particular show. Mcleish adds that these “things unsaid” have their voice extend “into a visible language that alludes to what may have been – if spoken and heard.”
Precious Collective is an international community of artists bound together by their ambiguous definitions of what exactly is ‘precious’ in relation to jewelry
About the Jewelry
“Marine Fauna Meets Industrial” reflects Sherry Cordova’s design language, blending technology, aesthetics, and sustainability. Hand-drawn illustrations of microscopic marine creatures are transformed into wearable art via laser cutting and hand finishing. The work highlights the fragility and beauty of marine life and human impact. Species of plankton, important in the marine food chain and global oxygen production, are represented in thin layers of low-tarnish sterling silver and pure titanium. Industrially produced fasteners symbolize human induced changes affecting microscopic marine life. The bracelet, brooch and earrings embody Sherry’s fusion of art, precision, and respect for the environment.

Hand drawn, CAD modified, laser cut, hand finished
Each bracelet began as an enlarged hand drawing of a microscopic creature. Mentally deconstructing the zooplankton during the hand drawing phase, I morphed the creatures into flat layers which would rebuild as a 3D form. I used CAD software to ingest the layer drawings and further modify the designs of each layer. Individual vector files were sent to a laser cutter. Each rough-cut low tarnish sterling silver layer was hand textured and finished in the hundreds of uniquely shaped cut outs.
