Introduction
Jewellery always has been an ongoing dialogue between the user and the observer. In ancient times it was a communication of hierarchy in the society while in today’s modern worlds it depicts a personal statement as well as an expression of self.
The consumer driven society in today’s world is expanding rapidly with the increase in wealth in many upcoming nations. The demand for new, innovative product in all aspects of life becomes greater. Henceforth, jewellery is central to the consumer appetite for unique lifestyle accessories.
Contemporary jewellery design is pushing the boundaries of new creative jewellery design by radically questioning and examining the whole notion of decorative adornment, thus encouraging students to generate new and innovative contemporary jewellery design.
