The popular 500 series takes its hippest, most fun approach yet, with
an intoxicatingly vibrant and technically diverse collection of contemporary
jewelry. Juror Susan Kasson Sloan has put together a groundbreaking
survey of the best work being done with this thoroughly modern material.
Every page offers some delightful eye candy, with pieces that stretch
from the subtle and sublime to the fantastically humorous.
There's jewelry
that tells a story, and jewelry that cleverly incorporates recycled
materials-including sunglass lenses and knitting needles. In true
21st century style, much of the work is being designed and produced
with cutting-edge CAD CAM technologies.
