Focusing on contemporary jewellery as an experimental practice, this book further challenges our conception of adornment. Presenting a diverse range of work, grouped in thematic sections-from innovative uses of form and material to conceptual pieces that critique the cultural and social meanings that have built up around the wearing and manufacture of jewellery-this book documents the progress of an ever-broadening discipline.

Exciting emerging talents are profiled alongside established jewellers who continue to test the bounds of their medium. This rich visual survey stands as a unique archive of contemporary practice and opinion.
