Product Description

Product Description
One look at these breathtaking suspended neck ornaments, and its clear why Larks series of jewellery design books has become so wildly popular. Every pendant is a masterful work of art, whether its symbolic and purposeful (amulets, talismans, and charms) or purely decorative. Judged by Mike Holmes and Elizabeth Shypertt this beautiful colour collection includes pieces crafted from diverse materials and techniques (including forging, casting, forming, and stone setting). 'Fecund,' Tricia Lachowiecs intricate construction of oxidised sterling silver, electroformed copper, enamel, and resin, is every bit as luscious as its title suggests. In '0210,' Seth Papac constructs a ghostly and atmospheric cityscape out of poplar wood, architectural siding, and building materials, as well as gold, silver, and elastic. Jane Adams signature use of softly coloured aluminum always astounds, and decidedly so in 'Flower Pendant' with its multiple fronds of gracefully arching metal. Jewellers, metalsmiths, and collectors will all find inspiration in these one-of-a-kind works.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inspiration for any maker, 10 Dec 2008
By K. Platt "blackplantlady" (Sheffield, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This hefty volume features as it says, 500 pendants and lockets. Part of a successful series, this 420 page jewellery book highlights some of the best contemporary jewellery. The cover photo is stunning and sets the standard.

Miek Holmes and Elizabeth Shypertt of the Velvet da Vinci Gallery in the USA selected the adornments. Stark simplicity, detailed design, political, whimsical, classically elegant are words to describe the contents. The makers express their creativity to the full using a wide variety of media that includes polymer clay, wood, leather, metal, precious stones, rubber and so much more.

The designs are so varied, there are bound to be many that you like. The designs are thought-provoking, some have a social or political comment to make, whilst others are merely ornamental. Most of the pieces are very wearable. I like the comments by some of the designers.

However, the book does not appear to follow any kind of pattern - the designs are not laid out according to designer, medium, type or any sequence that I could see. Also comments by designers are few and far between and random. The chosen designs do, however, demonstrate the wide variety and infinite possibilities of adornments. A superb book.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK, for an art student, 25 Jul 2008
If you are wanting to draw some inspiration from thinking outside the box, drawing on a world of ideas, using many different materials such as plastics, textile, paper, resin, base metals as well as your more precious metals silver and gold for a pendant this book can do this, it is more of a collection of final pieces of art degree students. Some pieces are just for the artistic nature, others worn as an attractive piece of wearable jewellery. It would be a good addition to any collage library. You can see a vast ammount of different production techniques that have been used to produce final pieces at varying skill levels making you think how or why they used that technique to produce the item. The book its self is paperback, of good quality colour images, laid out with 1-2 photos a page with a brief description of who, what with, why, size description accompanying the photo with the front and back covers having flaps to use as bookmarks.
