Artists Who Designed Jewelry
In the 20th century, some very famous artists decided to try their hand at jewelry making.
Most of these pieces were rather avant garde, such as the brooches crafted by Max Ernst and Salvador Dali.
The Dali brooch I’m familiar with is called “The Gold Cube Cross”, a remarkable piece rather hard to describe. It does involve a cross and some other sculptured jewels in a sort of spiked starburst. It is really quite lovely.
Perhaps it is these creative artists that began the modern interest in jewelry as wearable art. Some of our more modern artists are creating pieces that seem to shine with glorious personality and meaning, many of which can be seen in galleries both here and abroad.
