Beyond Bling

Jewelry from the Lois Boardman Collection

Exhibition Website

Oct 2 2016 - Feb 5 2017

Beyond Bling showcases an extraordinary assemblage of contemporary studio jewelry from the United States, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

The exhibition, which features selections from the gift of Lois and Bob Boardman, explores the use of nontraditional materials and techniques, the ways jewelry can communicate personal or political messages, and the medium's potential to shock and delight.

The collection is the first of its kind to enter a museum on the West Coast.
