I have recently taken a special interest in jewelry. I have a modest collection and have always loved viewing jewelry at museum exhibitions. I find the Egyptian jewelry shows particularly fascinating.
Jewelry making has been around since Stone Age. Although I have always had a fondness for jewelry , I have just recently viewed jewelry as decorative art.
Jewelry has been defined as a precious material used to adorn oneself. Jewelry making has been around since the Stone Age. It has been said that man created jewelry before he talked. The art and craft of jewelry seems to be more popular than ever.
A few weeks ago I attended an exhibition, Read My Pins, that featured a collection of pins owned by Madeleine Albright. Although most of the collection could not be considered fine art, many revealed a history and important pieces with symbolic value. The show included an extensive collection of jewelry.
My interest in jewelry making has gradually progressed. I am currently taking a class in metalsmithing that introduces you to the basics of line, shape, texture, rhythm, movement of precious and base metals.
Making jewelry has become a passion. As a reader, I love to read about my latest interests. I have discovered that there is a multitude of reference material on jewelry making. You can find an abundance of both historical and technical information on the metalworking. I have discovered my greatest source for creativity is the work of the great artists of the past. Auction catalogs frequently provide inspiration.
