Radical Jewelry Makeover

Radical Jewelry Makeover (RJM) is an international community jewelry mining
and recycling project that is at once a project, a performance, and an event
that links recycling and reuse with the creation of innovative jewelry. Volunteer
miners dig out and donate their old jewelry. Jewelers work as refiners and
designers, using environmental and human health as primary design criteria
for making new jewelry. RJM lays bare the social and environmental destruction
of mining, inspiring artists to shift their practices towards sustainable solutions,
and asking communities to radically alter their habits of consumption.

The RJM Pop-Up at the VMFA will feature fresh new Madeover jewelry designed
and created by students from the VCUarts Department of Craft/Material Studies
Metal Program.  From April 5-7, students will be at the VMFA to share information
about the project, talk about the jewelry on view and for sale, answer questions,
and make connections. Come support this project!

Sylvan Spirit Jewelry
Lexington, VA Jewelry Artists


Join us for an exclusive in-store pop-up event featuring Maureen and Rebecca Worth,
a dynamic mother-daughter duo who have been crafting stunning jewelry
together since the 1980s. Inspired by the scenic beauty of the Shenandoah Valley and
the historic allure of Lexington's antique brick walkways, their work encapsulates the
essence of nature and heritage. Their diverse collections, including the trademarked
Historic Brick Collection, not only reflect their artistic vision but also serve as powerful
symbols for various causes, igniting meaningful conversations and fostering awareness
through the language of art.
