We are thrilled to invite you to the wonderful world of the Radical Jewelry Makeover Wisconsin. This fall we will be busily planning in order to officially begin the project in next Spring of 2018. Keep up to date as we post about the event!

What is the Radical Jewelry Makeover?

A project of Ethical Metalsmiths, Radical Jewelry Makeover was founded in 2007 and has been iterated 12 times. In each makeover, the broader community is mobilized to donate jewelry (costume or fine jewelry, intact or broken) and “mine” their own narratives connected to that jewelry. The donated jewelry is then utilized by a team of jewelers, students and professionals alike, in the creation of new work. The project culminates in an exhibition of the new work where the new work can be purchased.
