Synopsis

This book showcases the work of over forty jewellery designers from all over the world. It explores the wide range of creative approaches and focuses on innovations in jewellery design. For instance, some artists have built upon tradition for creative concepts, using jewellery to interpret feelings and ideas, to tell a story or define emotions. One interesting feature of the book is the final chapter, which traces the development of a design project through initial research, through the experimental phase, to the realisation of the finished product.
