How do you "make" a promise? Every culture has its own ways of building trust in what we say to each other. Many of these involve jewellery, such as the engagement ring. But there are other needs that go unattended.
Nine artists have created objects that help us to make a commitment, to ourselves or to others. Imagine what changes these seeds might bring. Consider how you might use these in your own life. Wear the change.
