In Flux - American Jewelry and the Counterculture (Hardcover)

In the 1960s and 1970s, a generation of young Americans rejected
the promise of prosperity and the suburban dream embraced by their
parents. Furious about the war in Vietnam, fighting for civil
rights at home, and eagerly exploring the effects of psychedelic
drugs, the delights of free love, and the mystical teachings of
eastern religions, thousands followed the advice to "turn on, tune
in, drop out," bringing about a counterculture in the process. For
many American jewellers, these events and values found their way
into the studio, as well as affecting how they lived, worked, and
loved. Jewellers, like other studio craftspeople, rode the wave of
popularity for the hand-made and authentic that was at the heart of
the counterculture. In Flux is the story of how their jewellery
contributed to the raucous, contradictory, and enthusiastic clamour
for a new kind of society that made the 1960s and 1970s so
extraordinary.
