In Israeli jewelry, a profound meditation on life in a militarized society

To visit the opening reception for 92NY’s jewelry exhibit, I had to be personally invited, walk between NYPD officers and through a metal detector, and tell security guards where I was going. When I arrived at the building’s Hall of Mirrors, the vaulted, polished stone space was lively, but not crowded. Clusters of visitors dotted the hall, peering over display cases of jewelry full of bold lines, contrasting colors, and disparate materials, like the metal from a smashed can affixed with silver and gemstones.

Jewelry Center director Jonathan Wahl said that 92NY was quieter than usual in its promotion of Between Edges: Israeli Contemporary Jewelry, a one-week exhibition of the work of Israeli jewelry designers, because of anxieties surrounding the war between Israel and Hamas. The show also came a few weeks after the 149-year-old institution found itself embroiled in controversy due to its censorship of a pro-Palestinian author scheduled to speak at the Poetry Center.
