On this piece
When a jeweler’s work lives in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, you’re no longer buying jewelry — you’re buying art you can wear. Patricia Von Musulin is that jeweler, and this one-of-a-kind sterling silver piece is a signature example: a three-strand bead necklace anchored by a bold sculptural pendant, made with the exacting materials and forms that define her work. She once described her aim as “universal forms that survive and which people relate to,” and you can see exactly that here — nothing trendy, nothing fussy, just clean, powerful, timeless shape in solid 925 silver. Several of her pieces are held in the Met’s permanent collection, testament to how seriously the art world takes her craft. This is studio jewelry at the museum level: singular, signed, and made by an artist whose objects outlast fashion entirely. For the collector who wants sculpture that happens to be wearable, Von Musulin is the name, and this is the piece.
