Nothing marks the glamour of the professional economist more than the wearing of jewelry outside the confines of a Nobel Prize Ceremony or other formal occasion. This page will be irregularly updated with pictures of economists in the wild who have been seen wearing jewelry.
The featured image displayed above (#6. Claudia Goldin) changes and will always be the most recent addition to the collection.
On an equally light note, the older webpage Economists Wearing Bowties Collection is still in business.
On a more serious note, visitors to this collection are welcome to view other artifacts digitized and curated at Economics in the Rear-View Mirror.
