The Getty Store's jewelry selection is not a random assortment of jewelry that can be found at any museum. Every piece on display at Getty is intentional. These are works that tell stories from the galleries, Getty’s paintings, sculptures, and other collections interpreted into adornments by passionate contemporary artisans eager to create something beautiful for someone to take home on a wrist, neck, or ear.

“This is all an extension of the visitor experience,” Cory Gene Mayes says. He is the jewelry buyer for Getty, responsible for everything you see in the stores. “I’m the same exact way as every customer that comes in here. When I’m at another institution and go to a show, I go into the gift shop, inspired to buy something myself.”
