Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | From the outrageous cocktail rings of Andrew Grima and Ernest Blyth to the minimalist, engineered jewels of Friedrich Becker, the rings featured in this new publication are all taken from the Goldsmith?s Company?s rare and significant Modern Jewellery Collection. 00The origins of the Company?s collection of rings lie in the International Exhibition of Modern Jewellery held at Goldsmiths' Hall in 1961. The display showed what post-war jewellery could be and stimulated a new age of jewellery design as the Company became a major patron and promoter of studio art jewellery in precious metals. An explosion of new techniques, materials and design concepts saw the ring form change from a simple gem-set band to expressive portable sculpture.00A ring is the most personal type of jewel, and one which asks to be worn to be fully appreciated. To be successful, concept and expression should be one and the same thing. When that happens, handmade rings become a serious art form. The Goldsmiths? Company continues to build on its long history supporting artist jewellers; groundbreaking artists of the studio jewellery movement such as Wendy Ramshaw and Gerda Fl?ckinger feature alongside contemporary pioneers of the ring form such as Dorothy Hogg, Emefa Cole, Mark Nuell and Melanie Eddy |
