Kenneth Quickenden Virtual Gallery of Contemporary Jewellery

Kenneth Quickenden Virtual Gallery of Contemporary Jewellery

Contemporary jewellery is ‘contemporary’ not only because of its creation in the time of now, but also because of its non-conventional nature and that it engages with a number of “contemporary, social, environmental, technical, artistic trends” (Quickenden 2000) and that there is a similarity between the definitions of art jewellery and contemporary jewellery due to this. In this research report, there will be a focus on one main type of contemporary, Organic Contemporary Jewellery as its definition gives us a better insight into the types of jewellery that are created to echo the natural world in form and movement


See the image below, it shows an example of organic representational jewellery:
