DescriptionDescription: This necklace belongs to Åsa Lockner’s series Crown Jewels, in which she combines materials with various formal elements in an attempt to give each composition a sense of weight and certainty. As is often the case with crown jewels, the design is dictated by the shape of the gems. Body Armor #4 is set with agates, aventurines, carnelians, emeralds and serpentinites. Lockner claims that the piece can protect the wearer and even endow her with superpowers.
