This series of four postcards explores the cultural continuity of ornament through charm objects. By juxtaposing a black-and-white portrait of Queen Victoria--whose reign helped popularize sentimental jewelry and charms--with a low-resolution, Y2K-era photo of a pink flip phone adorned with dozens of decorative phone charms, the postcards draw a visual parallel between historical and contemporary expressions of personal adornment.
