Types of Movement Jewellery
Some artists create instrument like or mechanical jewellery that moves with the aid of a power source and motor. (Quickenden 2000) Others create jewellery objects that are made up of parts that are connected with small hinge systems that allow a more subtle form of movement to occur when the wearer moves his or her body (Quickenden 2000). A more virtual form of movement can be created on a completely static object through the use of materials that reflect light or with the use of lines that create the illusion of movement (Quickenden 2000).

Below are two images of one of Victoria Walker’s kinetic lockets. The lockets open and close when manipulated by the wearer. The two images compare the lockets in open and closed stages. The daisy lockets below form “a life-like representation of nature in motion” (Walker n.d.).
