New Earrings: 500 + Contemporary Jewellery Designs

Part of a
well-known book series on contemporary art jewelry by jeweler Nicol s Estrada,
this completely new edition of New Earrings (not a single piece from the
2013 edition has been included) highlights the work of some of the most
exciting and innovative international jewelry artists working today. The more
than 550 pieces featured by 198 jewelers from all over the world break away
from the traditional notion of jewelry making to stake out new terrain. They
represent a variety of creative approaches and methods, from more traditional
to strikingly avant-garde creations, that speak and inspire, embodying all the
ingenuity, flair, eloquence, sensitivity and individual freedom of their
diverse creators. Some of the earrings are made using unconventional materials
like porcelain or plastic while others use classical materials such as gold in
ways that provocatively go against the grain of convention, reflecting the
artist's personal identity and tastes or containing a subtle commentary on
contemporary concerns. Aimed at students, professionals and jewelry lovers, this
second edition of the book published in 2013, has a new layout and concludes
with a brief description of the careers and webpages of the featured artists.
