The art in Jewellery



Most people seem to forget or may never have known that jewellery is considered a minor art form. It is not just the jewellery people wear. It is much more than that. 


Jewellery is usually an artistic creation, designed by a creative mind and made by creative hands. Even if it is machine made, it was first designed by someone and you can bet your bloomers that that design came from an original idea born out of a handmade, out of something from daily life, out of inspiration that something quit ordinary excited the designer or creator into making something lasting.....


Today I just want to treat you to some jewellery designs that have caught my eye and which I invite you to observe - look at the way a form you may have seen many times in your life, was turned into a jewellery form for others to wear and enjoy wearing. Look at the way colour and form have met to make a little jewel something special.... 


Move to the last image where a pretty unique and abstract design has been transformed into a precious jewel - what do you see? It will be interesting to get your comments and compare impressions....
