Modern Design & Jewelry

Contemporary Jewelry

Modern pieces that begin from a historical object — with the source object named and the differences stated.

What this section will hold

  • Design records linking to a specific historical object or type.
  • A required statement of divergence: what changed in material, structure, proportion and use.
  • No use of the words “replica”, “reproduction” or “authentic” — these pieces are modern work.

Where it stands

No designs recorded yet. Nothing is listed until a real piece exists and its historical reference can be identified specifically, not vaguely.
