A stunning new volume which presents 120 pieces by 50 leading
jewellery designers from the 1960s and '70s, including works by
John Donald, Arthur King, Andrew Grima and Gilbert Albert. Simply
Brilliant presents 120 pieces by 50 leading makers of jewellery in
the 1960s and '70s, drawn from the Klosterman collection in
Cincinnati. Most, if not all, of the individual makers of this era
thought of themselves as artists first, jewellers second, and this
magnificent new volume is full of stunning one of a kind pieces
which reflect the inventive, ground-breaking attitudes of the era.
The book explores the 1961 Goldsmiths Hall exhibition in London and
its influence on contemporary jewellery designers such as John
Donald, Arthur King, Andrew Grima and Gilbert Albert. The 1961
exhibition brought a new direction in jewellery design to the fore,
influencing others - including the major jewellery houses such as
Cartier, Bulgari, Chopard and Van Cleef and Arpels - paving the way
for an international movement in fashion and design. These
jewellery designers created unique pieces, often for individual
clients, using non-traditional materials and unusual forms. AUTHOR:
Cynthia Amneus is chief curator and curator of Fashion Arts and
Textiles at Cincinnati Art Museum. 207 colour illustrations
