Heart

This necklace by artist Erin S. Daily explores the way precious materials imbue devotional objects with reverence. The crystal is almost bodily in form, and by affixing it to woven silver and reflective gold the necklace shares a visual relationship to the scapular.

Created for New York City Jewelry Week 2025, this piece is one of two necklaces made by Daily that were on view at Brooklyn Metal Works’s jewelry and object gallery, Specific Gravity. Daily is the co-founder of Brooklyn Metal Works. She holds an MFA in metal from SUNY New Paltz and has taught extensively at schools across the Northeast, while also exhibiting nationally and internationally.
