Diamonds on the Toes of your Shoes was an exhibition curated by Aimee Pektus for New York City Jewelry Week 2022.

“In recent years, crocs have become ubiquitous in both mainstream and counter culture, especially in the wake of the covid-19 pandemic. Without the necessity of going to an office or the option to be seen in social situations, the collective mindset shifted, and comfort became paramount, even in fashion. This comfort awakening has inspired both comfort and couture brands alike to create more artist collaborations and customizations. Croc charms allow the wearer to display and view whatever they find joy in and express it in an accessible way to any croc lover. Curator Aimee Petkus invited jewelry artists from around the country to create charms in their own interpretation and style.”
