Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Sustainability is foremost in the minds of many designer-makers at the
moment; there has been a surge of environmentally-sustainable
developments in the collections shown recently at Origin, New
Designers in Islington, Pulse and Collect. Jewellers are very
aware of sustainability issues, as such a large proportion of their
traditional materials come from non-sustainable sources (precious
stones and metals) and they have traditionally used acids, dyes, and
other techniques not renowned for their eco-friendliness. This book
will encourage makers to recycle and show how 'pre-loved' or
traditionally throw-away materials can provide new inspiration. Includes
stunning photos of the work of established and experimental
jewellers from around the world.
