We are pleased to announce the launch of “Still / Todavía,” by Iris Eichenberg and Jimena Ríos, the first in a series of jewelry books exploring how jewelry transforms our lives.
The first launch and lecture will take place on Sunday, March 9 at 11:30am at Cranbrook’s deSalle Auditorium.
Anne and Donald were together for thirty-seven years. Throughout their life together, Donald gave Anne jewelry during their travels and commissioned rings and necklaces for her—pieces that served as evidence of their life and love. Following Anne’s passing in 2022, Donald began wearing her jewelry almost every day.
As makers and educators, we found ourselves looking beyond what contemporary jewelry captures. With this book and talk, we would like to share that exploration with you—starting with pieces found in folklore, religious jewelry, and offerings, leading up to examples of contemporary jewelry. These pieces can all be read as forms of testimony and proof; at the same time, they serve as evidence of bonds marking rituals in a timeline. Through them, the act of making becomes a way to materialize stories, celebrate, and heal.
The book will be available for purchase at the event, while supplies last.
