poor jewellery
The struggle of precious with non-precious materials is typical of recent yearsand has prepared a new way for 'young contemporary jewellery'.Neither preciousness nor eternal preservation seems to be important to this newbreed of arty accessories - with its value lying in its communicative potential.
The struggle of precious with non-precious materials is typical of recent yearsand has prepared a new way for 'young contemporary jewellery'.Neither preciousness nor eternal preservation seems to be important to this newbreed of arty accessories - with its value lying in its communicative potential.
Within the young international jewellery scene, the new arrangement of everydaymaterials is a sovereign one and provides pieces with a lively expression.In the middle of the 20th century, a large part of society consisted of middle classpeople, conservative in their taste and whose ideals were very strong anddeeply-rooted, a society little inclined to change its lifestyle or its symbols.
Jewellery was often viewed as an emblematic gesture, a sound investment thatcould be passed down through generations.There was, however, another part of society ready for renovation. Industry andfashion have changed the approach to jewellery by removing its symbolic andancestral value. In a society, where great importance is given to superficiality,jewellery has been deprived of any cultural value thus limiting its understandingand consequently its distribution. in this context, the pioneers of the contemporaryscene, albeit with some difficulty, had a fertile ground to work on.
Does it represent what it did in the recent past?
When economy is stagnant, it is obvious that contemporary jewellery is faced witha very difficult challenge.
It seems to be a restricted matter, among a rather smallgroup of people and moves in a limited market, for many reasons including the factthat it does not shift a large sums of money. However, it seems the role ofjewellery nowadays is not determined by whether the field is restricted, but whetherthe designers will be able to maintain and develop this specific sector.
Often people do not understand why something so minimal and simple made frommaterials such as used material, silicone, plastic, glass, and paper should be so'expensive'. For most people, 'contemporary' and 'the use of poor materials' isequivalent to economic.
So what makes some things valuable and others not?
These contemporary accessories are made of innovation and artistic research.a piece of jewellery is not merely a decorative ornament; it usually has a meaning,which might be a celebration of something, or a loss, it might be very personal,but these meanings can also be universal, recognizable in today's society.The rigorous monumentality of 'poor jewellery' comes alive when it is worn, when thetactile pleasure of the alternative materials comes into play. In the research ofinnovative materials, the here featured artists' work is characterized by anempirical approach – solutions are found by direct experimentation.---in addition to the loosely categorized works featured in this article you can alsofind information on the best international creators of jewelry art at following websites:
