Unusual Jewelry Concepts
Have you ever heard of jewelry created from paper? How about a necklace made out of sugar solution, creating crystal-like clusters?
Many artists and designers live on the fringe of jewelry making. Their unusual efforts are admired by some, scoffed at by others and looked at with puzzled amusement by many. This is jewelry as an art form. No, it may not last as long as a diamond or shine as brightly as a ruby, but it can evoke an emotional response which certainly has its own reward.
Artists that experiment with non-traditional materials are being seen in many top art shows and galleries across the US. I think it’s wonderful to expand the horizons of what makes something art, and indeed what makes something jewelry!
