We have a great collection of Artist’s and modern master’s jewels, with pieces by Man Ray, Pol Bury and Alexander Calder. The term “Art Jewellery” covers many facets. Most importantly it is hand made, limited or unique and usually gifted by the artist or sold through a gallery. It does not follow the typical route of commercial jewels. Artists who make jewellery are not necessarily jewellers and they do not spend most of their time making or designing it. Therefore, their untrained eye and, often, lack of knowledge in production techniques, does not restrict them from conceiving designs that might elude a classic “jeweller”. Please be in touch for more information on any of the pieces here.
