On Season 3 episode 11 of The Art Career, Emily McElwreath interviews Will Shott.
When Houston-born jewelry designer Will Shott sought to revolutionize eternally classic design for this genderless fine jewelry brand, the unique result immediately graced the necks of fashion and music industry influencers alike including  Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Luka Sabbat, Miley Cyrus, and collaborations with brands such as Gucci, Midnight studios, and many more. Shott’s WWW.WILLSHOTT label has attained unforeseen heights, with his recognizably glacial jewelry embellishing a number of runway shows as well as the most highly curated stores worldwide. Dismantling traditional notions of jewelry has led Will to expand his brand to include fine art.  In September 2022 Shott opened a gallery space in the street facing room of his jewelry shop in Chinatown. For each exhibition, Shott collaborates with the artists to make a unique, limited edition piece of jewelry. Will’s unique aesthetic encompassing the worlds of  fine-art, fashion and music, has created a welcome and necessary addition to New York’s gallery scene.
