Jewelers: Corliss & John, the 2 Roses

Corliss and John are two amazing and inspiring artists! I found them through Flickr and was immediately hooked on their use of materials, shape, color and concept.
Their work is simply exquisite, fun, and provoking, just stunning. I applaud their recycling of everyday use objects as new materials in clever way. It’s surprising how they [...]

Amulets & Talismans: the Magic in Jewelry

- This is a guest post by the portuguese astrologer Ismenia Gomes.
A jewel is admired by it’s beauty and considered by it’s value. A jewel is an artistic and monetary investment. In the past, a jewel was also a talisman, beyond it’s material value.
In past civilizations, the human being saw it’s world as a Whole, [...]

Jewelers

For a while now I had this visionary idea of a jewelery web portal. It would be a place where jewelry events were announced, articles about the craft and the crafters posted, supply shop lists, so on and where each user could showcase their work on their account’s space. Then there could be featured user [...]

Why do we wear Jewelry?

photo by Jared Zimmerman
In the modern day, most of us wear it to express ourselves, our individuality or our sense of belonging to a group, or even perhaps both.
Just like the clothes we wear, our jewelry might say something about us. We choose what we identify with and we wear. We are expressing a part [...]

Fusing Filings

The basic of fusing is heating the metal until the surface melts, but not the entire piece of it. It creates a random texture, but more importantly you can melt two pieces together. There are many possibilities with fusing. You can use sheet, wire, filings, combined either way you want.

On this brooch fused silver filings [...]

Figure-Flattering Jewelry

photo by me
I’m always curious about this subject of what flatters different people. I think I first got aware of this subject applied in jewelry with a Susannah and Trinny book, “What You Wear Can Change Your Life”. The book itself didn’t reveal much, so I tried to look around for more information on this.
So [...]

Book: A World of Head Ornaments

“A World of Head Ornaments: Africa, Asia, Oceania, America” is part of a 6 volume series. “A World of…” necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, and belts.
This is my first and only so far, book of the series. I choose the Head Ornaments mostly because it’s something we don’t seems to wear as much as before. It’s [...]

A Living Exhibition: Contacto Directo’s 20th anniversary

Laura on the right, school pal, and me on the left.
It’s Contacto Directo’s 20th anniversary this year and they intend to celebrate it all year long.
The first event was held on CCB, the past 23th of February. Staff, current and former students were invited.
The concept of the party was simple, everyone dresses black and wears [...]

Book: Jewelry Concepts and Technology

“Jewelry Concepts and Technology” by Oppi Untracht,
published by Robert Hale Ltd.
(Get it cheaper on Amazon though.)
The bible for jewelers, as most say. This book is very valuable if you’re a professional, or a serious student.
This is not something for those who are simply curious about the subject.
Also, this book is written in a very simple [...]

Lark Books’ 500 Series

I don’t own any of the books, but I’ve had a few pass my hands.
Their only purpose is to inspire you, and I think it does a very nice job at it.
Do remember that these are mainly contemporary works.
Rings, Bracelets, Brooches, Earrings, Necklaces, Pendants & Lockets and Wedding Rings, you have a book for each [...]
