Find your vintage fix at the Neue Galerie’s jewelry exhibit

Do your knees buckle at the site of vintage jewelry? Then you might want to get a wheelchair for the Neue Galerie’s new “Wiener Werkstätte Jewelry” exhibit. Similar in design to art nouveau, these jeweled pieces reflect a devotion to technique rarely found in contemporary design. Just be warned that no plastic replicas are sold in the gift shop.

(1907, Josef Hoffman brooch in silver with agate, coral, lapis lazuli, malachite, turquoise and other semi-precious stones)
