My Royalty About
The Show
About The Show Aliyah Gold, Yoko Tazaki, & Monicka Krol make up the Philadelphia jewelry collective AYM. The women received their BFA degrees from the University of the Arts (Philadelphia, PA) in metalwork & jewelry. The collective presents their latest jewelry designs, which are inspired by their personal interpretations of a common theme: royalty. Like many children, Aliyah grew up with the tales of kings and queens read to her at bedtime. Her memories of these stories have served as the impetus for her new collection. As a Japanese American citizen, Yoko chose to acknowledge her heritage by using a crest that is forever reserved for the imperial family. Her continuing interest in floral patterns led her to explore the magnificence of Japanese crests and their significance within her own culture. Monika chose to make jewelry for the people she admires most, lavishing them in jewels fit for royalty. Each piece is made to reflect the personality of the recipient. In this show the AYM Collective invites the viewer to keep their own ideas of royalty alive within them.
