Whether you’re looking to do a complete overhaul of your apartment or add a dash of color or ambiance to a room, adding art to the walls is an easy way to create a unique home environment.

To say the exhibition was awe inspiring doesn’t even begin to do the collections justice, but hopefully the pictures help illustrate our point.

1. There’s something very Thor about these whimsical wing rings by H Stern
2. Personalized writing on your gold jewelry a la Aurora Lopez Mejia
3. Elegance meets art with these dainty floral earrings by Carla Amorim
4. Intricate antiqe-like rings by Catherine Michiels
