About this Award: Art works winning purchase awards become part of the museum's permanent collections. They are chosen for their technique and artistry as well as for the way in which they compare and contrast with other items in our collections. Any medium is eligible.

Juror's Comments:
The Friends of ASM Collections jurors—Stuart Beckerman, Don Morehart and Susan Finkenberg—as well as Diane Dittemore, ASM ethnological collections curator, agreed that the bracelet epitomizes modern design and appreciated the extensive use of a variety of stones. The 3D quality was greatly admired as well.
