I was juried into the 2026 Rejewelry Competition Cohort to create new work out of repurposed, recycled jewelry.

The Radical Jewelry Makeover’s 2026 Rejewelry Competition Juror’s Committee is happy to announce your selection to this year’s Rejewelry Cohort! We were thrilled with the quality of applications we received this year. The final selection for this competition by our jurors Jessica Anderson, Heidi Lowe, and Shane Prada highlight work from talented jewelers who are ready to take on the challenge of transforming outdated, broken, post-consumer jewelry, mined from jewelry boxes and donated to RJM. It is clear now more than ever the importance of our mission of material circularity, creative reuse, and innovative design and we are happy to invite you into our community. 

The 2026 Rejewelry Competition will be a traveling exhibition:
Adorned Spaces (June 2026), SNAG Conference, Detroit, MI
Heidi Lowe Gallery (Sept. – Nov. 2026), Lewes, DE
Baltimore Jewelry Center (Nov. 2026 – Jan. 2027), Baltimore, MD
