PRISMA – sieradencollectie CODA door Rikkie Kollé
Rikkie Kollé selects jewelry from the CODA Apeldoorn collection around the themes of color, minimalism, and personal story.
Jewelry as a mirror of identity
The exhibition PRISMA – Selection from the CODA collection by Rikkie Kollé is on view at CODA Apeldoorn. Rikkie Kollé personally selected works from CODA’s jewelry collection and organized them around three themes: color, connection, and minimalism. Together, these offer a glimpse into her life and her vision of jewelry as a carrier of personal stories. The exhibition runs until November 15, 2026.
Exceptional pieces from a world collection
CODA’s jewelry collection numbers more than 14,000 objects – the largest museum collection of art and fashion jewelry in the world. Kollé selected, among others, Paul Derrez’s ‘Pride brooch’, Ted Noten’s ‘Fashionista’ necklace with bright pink stilettos, and a brooch by Elsa Schiaparelli that Lady Gaga wore at Joe Biden’s inauguration in 2021. Each work has a story, and Kollé explains why it resonates with her.
