New: The Modern Jewel 1960 – 1980
New Course Cycle offered in November 2022, January and April 2023
About the Cycle
In 1961, the international exhibition "Modern Jewellery 1890-1961" held at Goldsmith's Hall in London institutionalized the stylistic orientations of the three following decades.
Bringing together jewelers, artists and artist-jewelers of thirty nationalities, it contributed to the beginning of a lasting redefinition of the jewelry arts during the second half of the 20th century, revolutionizing typologies, introducing a wide range of materials, revealing a new awareness of the body.
In this three-course cycle, whose chronological scope extends from the Swinging 60s to the technological era of the 1980s, you will explore the stylistic nuances that characterized the second half of the 20th century: from psychedelic curves to scientific rigor, from developments in plastic jewelry to the redefinition of traditional jewelry arts, from bodily emancipation to a renewed form of codification, you will take the measure of the profound social, technological, and aesthetic mutations that crystallized the modern jewel.
