Design Era

Design & Historical Context

Contemporary jewellery is a type of jewellery that reflects current trends and styles, and is often made from a variety of materials beyond the traditional precious metals and stones. This allows contemporary jewellery to have a more modern and unique appearance compared to classic jewellery. To create contemporary jewellery, it is necessary to have both specialized training and a deep understanding of the subject. The contemporary style combines historical techniques and artistic expression with innovative ideas and materials, giving it a distinct personality that falls between fashionable mass-produced jewellery and traditional artisanal works of art.

Key Materials

Materials & Craftsmanship

Copper

Copper is a chemical element with the symbol Cu and atomic number 29. It is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal that is known for its high thermal and electrical conductivity. Copper has been used by humans for thousands of years, and it was one of the first metals to be smelted from sulfide ores, cast into shapes, and alloyed with other metals. In ancient times, copper was mined in several regions of the world, including Cyprus, which is where the metal gets its name. The word "copper" is derived from the Latin word "cuprum," which is itself derived from the Greek word "kyprios," meaning "of Cyprus." Copper has many uses, including in electrical wiring, roofing, and plumbing, as well as in the production of coins, jewelry, and other decorative items. It is an important component of many alloys, including bronze and brass, and it is also used in the production of chemicals and other industrial products.

Silver-gilt objects are made by applying a thin layer of gold to the surface of the silver using a variety of techniques such as gilding, electroplating, or rolling. The gold layer is typically very thin, ranging from a few micrometers to a few hundred micrometers in thickness. The gold layer is applied to the surface of the silver to give the appearance of solid gold, but the underlying silver is still visible.

The process of creating silver-gilt objects requires a high level of skill and attention to detail. The gold layer must be applied evenly and smoothly, without any defects or blemishes. The silver-gilt object is then polished to give it a smooth, shiny finish.

Silver-gilt objects have been used for centuries as a way to add value and beauty to items made of silver. They are often used in the production of fine jewelry, decorative objects, and religious or ceremonial items. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, silver-gilt objects are also highly prized for their durability and resistance to tarnish.

Enhance the Beauty of Your Jewelry with Proper Care

Wearing your jewelry is a special way to express yourself and add a touch of personal style to any look. However, to ensure your jewelry remains in pristine condition, there are a few simple steps you need to take to keep it looking its best.

General Care Instructions:

Remove jewelry when showering or bathing, especially when at the beach, in the sea or in chlorinated water.
Avoid wearing jewelry while doing physical work such as housekeeping, gardening or exercise.
Storing your jewelry in a dry and cool place will help protect it from moisture, dirt and dust.
Keeping it away from harsh chemicals such as bleach, ammonia and chlorine will help to avoid discoloration and damage.
Cleaning your jewelry regularly with a soft cloth will help to keep it looking shiny and new.
Avoid exposing your jewelry to extreme temperatures, such as leaving it in direct sunlight or near a heater, as this can cause damage.
Handle your jewelry carefully and avoid dropping it, as this can cause the stones to loosen or the metals to scratch.
Finally, if possible, have your jewelry professionally checked and serviced. This will ensure that any potential problems are spotted and fixed before they become worse.

By following these tips, you can enjoy your precious jewelry for many years to come.
