Deborah Meyers’ work explores jewelry as a contemporary extension of ancient material traditions. Grounded in classical goldsmithing and informed by long-term study of historic adornment, her practice privileges material presence, surface, and proportion over narrative. The pieces are deliberate and restrained, allowing process, hand, and material intelligence to remain visible. Rather than referencing history directly, Meyers distills its material logic—weight, patina, and permanence—into objects intended to be lived with over time.
