I think we can all agree that Election Day can’t come soon enough.
Political divisiveness has tested our relationships with family members, friends, and neighbors like never before. Just this morning on my community’s NextDoor page, a woman reported that someone set her political yard sign on fire.
Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to play on like a bad (but also deadly) sitcom rerun in the background of our lives.
Fine jewelry designers have unsurprisingly channeled this tense moment in our culture into their collections, and many of those manifestations boil down to messages on the importance of voting to a healthy democracy.
In past election cycles, we would see one or two politics-themed jewels pass through our inboxes at JCK. But this time around, fine jewelry styles incorporating the word vote have been flooding in. Also unlike in years past, many of the political jewels we’ve seen are highly designed and very chic—qualities we always get behind.
Here are some of our favorite political jewels that have come out in the past few months. Enjoy—and please don’t forget to VOTE!
