Interactive jewelry is a new concept found in the intriguing work of Allison Wells. Her pieces exercise elements of humor, play and interactivity. Wells suggests that the wearer gets "...more pleasure through the experience of 'completing' and incorporating one's own creative input." She continues, "My goal is to cater to everyone by providing different scenarios that appeal to all sides of an argument.
For example, the caged animal pendants allow the captured creatures to be 'released' by rearranging the detachable pins and brooches accordingly. Mixing and matching the scenarios can lead to infinite stories, which the wearer can freely create as they please.
