The new jewelry trends and traditionsThere is a new paperback version of the book about contemporary jewelry called “The New Jewelry: Trends & Traditions” by Peter Dormer & Ralph Turner. Here is a blurb from Amazon: “Dormer and Turner have produced an exciting volume on recent developments in the art and craft of jewelry making. Through the abundant illustrations of excellent examples of jewelry as ornament, as fashion, as sculpture, and as assemblage, the reader can see many of the distinctive and unique trends of a truly international style. A “no-holds-barred” attitude is reflected in each of the three chapters on expression and design, jewelry as image, and jewelry as theater. Included are brief biographical sketches of major international jewelry makers and lists of galleries and museums specializing in jewelry exhibitions, major exhibitions since 1960, and important publications. Enthusiastically recommended. Stephen Allan Patrick, East Tennessee State Univ. Lib.
