The Hungarian artist Reka Lorincz’s “How Deep is Your Love” necklace features a plastic scale with a basket piled high with gems and pearls. The design and title of the necklace offer commentary on the historic role of jewelry as a token of affection. Whimsy and politics are typical and commonly seen in Lorincz’s work.
