500 Plastic Jewelry DesignsA Groundbreaking Survey of A Modern MaterialSeries: 500 Series Publisher: Lark Published: September 2009 420 pages ISBN: 1-60059-340-2 ISBN13: 9781600593406 $24.95 US $31.95 Canadian Paper with flaps 8 X 8 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. The extremely talented artists include Jantje Fleischhut; Lisa and Scott Cylinder; Adam Paxon; Felieke van der Leest; Ted Noten; Svenja John; Pavel Herynek; Karin Seufert; and Margaux Lange. |

Also know as jewelleryPaimpont: La Garantie, 2009Technical data: 17 folded posters inside a soft cover, bound with a black rubber band, 68 pages, 16.5 x 24 cm, approximately 90 colour illustrations Price: from 25 € Contemporary jewellery, in France and abroad, is undergoing a spectacular evolution: in recent years, it has both staked out new territories of experimentation, and claimed a pivotal position between art, design and traditional craft. The selection for this touring show focused on the work of 17 contemporary jewellers - French, or working in France - who together make a convincing case for the vitality of this rather under-exposed part of the European contemporary jewellery community. It is the first time that such a selection of contemporary French makers is shown abroad. The production of a bilingual catalogue is central to the project. Its purpose it to provide readers with three different entry points into the work of each exhibitor: a commissioned text and some biographical informations to put it in context, a series of studio photographs showing recent work, and finally, a portrait of the makers wearing one of their pieces by award-winning photographer Elene Usdin. The catalogue is collated from loose, folded posters: the 17 portraits make up a 5-meter long frieze of this hyper-active community, and is used as part of the exhibition scenography. work by claire baloge,babette boucher, brune boyer-pellerej, frédéric braham, monika brugger, carole deltenre, joanne grimonprez, sophie hanagarth, ulrike kampfert, emmanuel lacoste, catherine legal, florence lehmann, christophe marguier, amandine meunier, jana natier, nathalie perret, maud traon texts by christian alandete, sofian beldjerd, david beytelmann, frédéric bodet, caroline broadhead, jacques demarcq, yvonna demczynska, carole guinard, love jönsson, anna kharkina, david lemaire, benjamin lignel, philippe liotard, rita marcangelo _ ellen maurer-zilioli, sophie pelletier, marie prunier, michael rowe, frédérique verlinden edited by Christian Alandete & Benjamin Lignel |

Freda's Green Slipper Brooch and Harlan W. Butt's Maine Teapot to large sculptures and public art.

L'UOMO ARTIGIANOSaper fare bene le cose per il proprio piacere: una regola di vita semplice e rigorosa che ha consentito lo sviluppo di tecniche raffinatissime e la nascita della conoscenza scientifica moderna. Fabbri, orafi, liutai univano conoscenza materiale e abilità manuale: mente e mano funzionavano rinforzandosi, l'una insegnava all'altra e viceversa. Ma non è il solo lavoro manuale a giovarsi della sinergia tra teoria e pratica. Perché chi sa governare se stesso e dosare autonomia e rispetto delle regole, sostiene Sennett, non solo saprà costruire un meraviglioso violino, un orologio dal meccanismo perfetto o un ponte capace di sfidare i millenni,ma sarà anche un cittadino giusto. L'uomo artigiano racconta di ingegneri romani e orafi rinascimentali, di tipografi parigini del Settecento e fabbriche della Londra industriale, un percorso storico attraverso cui Sennett ricostruisce le linee di faglia che separano tecnica ed espressione.arte e artigianato, creazione e applicazione. Il miglior esempio di "saper fare" moderno? il gruppo che ha creato Linux, gli artigiani della moderna cattedrale informatica.Feltrinelli |

Adorn: New Jewellery. Paperback: 272 pages· Publisher: Laurence King Publishing (6 Oct 2008) · Language English · ISBN-10: 1856695743 · ISBN-13: 978-1856695749 · Product Dimensions: 23.9 x 16.8 x 2.8 cm Synopsis This showcase of new jewellery offers a global view of exciting work from 200 cutting-edge jewellery designers.

Because most jewellers' work crosses themes, categories and styles, and is produced using a variety of techniques, the chapters are arranged by type of jewellery and each designer may feature in a number of chapters. In this way, from headpiece to toe ring, the book takes the reader on a visual journey around the body and provides a rich source of inspiration for anyone looking to design, commission or buy their own jewellery. |

Fausto Maria FranchiPaparo Edizioni - Napoli, 2000"Libero Pensiero " comprende il lavoro di ricerca che Fausto Maria Franchi, facendone una pratica di severo e morale ordine di vita, ha portato avanti negli anni. Affascinato dalla materia e dalle sue libere possibilità, con un mero movimento che da inventivo si trasforma in creativo, Franchi tende a trasmettere, tramite il fare delle mani, nuove forme e delicate texture alle superfici arricchendole d'infinite sfaccettature per speculazioni luminose. Sono forme libere nell'espressione, manifesti di una propria relatività sia nel gusto sia nelle proporzioni, che colmano il bagaglio visivo dell'autore formandone un personale lessico espressivo che si ritrova integro sia nelle piccole sia nelle grandi dimensioni. L'opera che ha dato il titolo alla mostra "Libero pensiero", oltre ad essere un sentito omaggio a Giordano Bruno nel quarto centenario della morte, vuole essere un'accusa a noi stessi, alla nostra società, a quella "cultura" occidentale che, pur donando nuovi anni alla nostre vite, ci ha reso, nostro mal grado, compartecipi di violenti assassinii rendendo ottusi valori come: natura, amicizia, tolleranza, uguaglianza, giustizia, pace, libero pensiero.

"500 Pendants"Edizioni Lark BookOne look at these breathtaking suspended neck ornaments, and it’s clear why Lark’s series of jewelry design books has become so wildly popular. Every pendant is a masterful work of art, whether it’s symbolic and purposeful (amulets, talismans, and charms) or purely decorative. Juried by Mike Holmes and Elizabeth Shypertt, co-founders of the esteemed jewelry gallery Velvet da Vinci, this beautiful color collection includes pieces crafted from diverse materials and techniques (including forging, casting, forming, and stone setting). “Fecund,” Tricia Lachowiec’s intricate construction of oxidized sterling silver, electroformed copper, enamel, and resin, is every bit as luscious as its title suggests. In “0210,” Seth Papac constructs a ghostly and atmospheric cityscape out of poplar wood, architectural siding, and building materials, as well as gold, silver, and elastic. Jane Adam’s signature use of softly colored aluminum always astounds, and decidedly so in “Flower Pendant” with its multiple fronds of gracefully arching metal. Jewelers, metalsmiths, and collectors will all find inspiration in these one-of-a-kind works. 500 Pendants & Lockets Contemporary Interpretations of Classic Adornments Series: 500 Series Publisher: Lark Published: May 2008 420 pages ISBN: 1-60059-038-1 ISBN13: 9781600590382 $24.95 US $26.95 Canadian Paper with flaps |

Masterfully set diamonds stand alongside conceptual designs that reflect a cutting-edge approach, such as Etienne Perret's ring made for two fingers.
