Abstract

This paper represents the study of Object Art and Environmental Art in Jewelry. By utilizing the media, the technology, the environmental objects of this culture, a series and study of Object Jewelry began.

This study was concerned with the non-functional aspects of Jewelry with emphasis on imagery, symbolism and technique.

Today, contemporary jewelry reflects ideas, moods, forms, and relationships of our cultural and technical environment. Movements in the field today are tending towards creating Object and Environmental Art, rather than pedestal art, which was predominant prior to 1960.
