Art Jewellery Den Besten


Art Jewellery

Art jewellery can be seen as a works of art that have functions beyond adornment and the three main functions mentioned by Metcalf. Jewellery artists create wearable pieces of art that challenge the traditional views of jewellery, as traditionally, jewellery design is not recognized as a fine art but rather a craft of a form of applied arts. Some items of jewellery are made to challenge this notion and to break into the realm of art as they have been created to express ideas of art: “vision, intellect and concept.”  Some debate that jewellery cannot be considered as art because an art piece is made to stand on its own and to have no practical function. Yes, jewellery can be used as a medium to express an artistic concept, but in the world of art, the subject of jewellery has its limitations, jewellery has a vast number of functions and it cannot exist outside the realm of the human body. A jewel is made to be worn on the body or has the potential to be worn, giving it a function.
