Artist’s jewelery in glass





In New York an exhibition organized by Adornment with glass jewels created by artists ♦ ︎

Glass is not precious, unless it becomes a jewel. This is witnessed by Adornment, a company that deals with projects dedicated to contemporary art jewels, which from 12 to 17 November organized for the occasion of the New York City Jewelry Week, a special edition of Cutting Edge. It is a design exhibition and search for glass jewelry, held in the spaces of R & Company (64 White Street). The exhibition is called Cutting Edge – Contemporary Glass Jewelry and is dedicated to the creations of artists and designers who use glass as a vehicle for expression.

Rings and necklaces of creative glass are seen with the eyes of Paolo Marcolongo, Biba Schutz and Agustina Ros, as well as pieces made by the special guest and ambassador in the field of Linda MacNeil glass jewelery.

The selection aims to provide an unusual and avant-garde perspective on glass jewels, an affirmation of the identity of a research that today is increasingly independent, even if still connected to tradition. Various processes and techniques are used, then customized by each of the creators through experimental techniques: from the processing of Murano glass, to the processing of hand-blown borosilicate glass; from the union and mixing of different chemical components, to the combined processing of glass and metals.

In Linda MacNeil’s jewelery, for example, metals (both precious and non-precious) and glass have equal dignity and functionality.

Both are designed and built to compose a unity of shapes, geometry and visual rhythm, function and decoration; both transmit a perfectly balanced result.
