Found items from the natural world, including bone, twigs, shells, and fibers, have often been utilized throughout the history of jewelry to create wearable pieces. While Western jewelry historically had a popular association with precious metals and gemstones—excepting, perhaps, less expensive fashion jewelry—many contemporary art jewelers have found interest in and formed a practice incorporating non-precious materials into their work. Frequent visitors to RAM see contemporary jewelry made of a wide variety of media, including hair curlers, US currency, candy, newspaper, and zippers. Some materials may be more valuable, durable, or wearable than others. However, if the intent is present, many things can be manipulated to be worn in one way or another. Comprised entirely of works from RAM’s collection, Zero Waste: Jewelry highlights art jewelry made from repurposed materials originally intended for a use other than adornment.
