An item of jewellery is traditionally thought of as an ornament and
decoration, a useless object, with no particular function or use,
an embellishment that has no practical purpose. This book
investigates the evolution of functional jewellery from the past to
present day, while the three prestigious introductory articles by
Alba Cappellieri, Paola Venturelli and Elisabeth Fischer show how
jewellery has always played a functional role, especially in regard
to clothing, throughout the ages. The various functions of
jewellery are then defined by the projects of young international
designers, finalists in the Next Jeneration Jewellery Talent
Contest, in an exhibition under the curatorship of Susanna Testa.
Functional Jewellery is a valuable tool for understanding the
complexity and beauty of jewellery, even in ordinary, everyday
gestures, like pinning the edges of a cape, buttoning a coat,
styling hair or protecting nail varnish. Text in English and
Italian.
