Art jewellery:

The concept of art jewellery is used without hesitation, though in the US. In Susan Grant Lewin’s view’…its most salient feature is its involvement with the ideas of art: vision, intellect, and concept. In fact, it is more about art than bout jewellery”. According to Strauss in her book: Ornament of art, where she is showcasing Hele Druitt’s collection jewellery, thinks jewellery is art; it is ‘another art form” (Straus.C., 2007). Regarding art jewellery, I am mostly looking at how jewellery is used as an art form, the way the image creates a sense of movement. It is for this reason that I have chosen to view Rene Lalique Art Nouveau Galalith, enamel and pearl pendant necklace, (see fig 1). What has interested me most is how much  detail can be applied in a piece of art, stationery movement,
