The exhibition intentionally eschews strict chronology, instead focusing on the thematic resonance, symbolic power, and collective dialogue generated by these small, personal sculptures that become integral to identity. Curated by Concha Herranz and Helena Rohner, with museography by Marta Muñoz, the display juxtaposes traditional pieces with creations from representative contemporary Spanish jewelry artists. This approach highlights the enduring creativity that links different forms of jewelry making and conceptualization, examining how the act of adorning ourselves allows for distinction, self-expression, and the integration of personal sentiments and beliefs into objects that carry profound individual and collective meaning.

The exhibition aims to lay the groundwork for a new narrative of Spanish jewelry by focusing on the shared elements that revitalize the enduring creativity across different eras and styles. It moves beyond mere historical presentation to foster a personal and collective understanding of jewelry as intimate sculptures that define and enhance our identity.
