Ute Decker

Ute Decker is a jeweller of German decent and is renowned for her wearable sculptural artworks. So much so that she was voted 'trendsetter' and one of Britain's most inspirational Jewellery designers.
what I find fascinating about Deckers work is her minimalistic approach to creating her jewellery pieces.

Robert Lee Morris

Robert Lee Morris, Born in Nuremberg, Germany is a Jewellery designer and sculptor who finds the inspiration of his jewellery forms from nature. His bold sculptural designs have been manufactured in metals such as Gold, Silver and bronze. He has collaborated and designed collections for fashion designers such as Calvin Klein and Donna Karan. Morris’s work has also been featured in fashion magazines such as Marie Claire, Vogue, Elle and Cosmopolitan just to name a few. Morris has not limited his designing and sculpting skills just to the creation of jewellery as he has also designed a perfume bottle for Estee Lauder. What I find interesting about Robert lee Morris isn’t just the sculptural jewellery that he manufactures but the fact that he is able to make his ‘wearable art’ a commercial viable product

Fritz using CAD?

Surely I must be on the right path regarding the use of CAD if a distinguished jeweller like Fritz Maierhofer has also started designing his artworks using CAD. On Maierhofer's website, he states that "The new tool is the computer screen. The goldsmith’s craft is not only defined by the file and hammer." Below is one of the pieces he has manufactured using CAD

 

Sliding Ring

Material : Aluminium

New work done by Fritz Maierhofer

These are some of the latest creations done by Fritz Maierhofer. He has manufactured a ring, bracelet and brooch in gold to form part of his latest collection. Essentially I am also looking at trying to create a collection of jewellery that is inspired by my sculptures. I must be honest, if there were no captions stating which was the brooch or the bracelet I would be really confused as it is difficult to tell them apart.

Fritz Maierhofer

Fritz Maierhofer is a Jeweller from Australia. Maierhofer is of the opinion that jewellery acts as a communication tool, in which the wearer is able to send messages to the viewer. He feels that jewellery is a medium which should share equal rights on the podium with the more common arts being painting, sculpture and architecture. Upon creating his sculptural masterpieces he prefers to manufacture his jewellery in larger proportions as Maierhofer creates his Jewellery pieces to be miniature sculptures which are able to be hung on walls and displayed when not being adorned on the body.

 

Jorge Gil

Jorge Gil is a jeweller based in Havana, Cuba. The creation of his sculptures where only derived after the legal importation of his jewellery. The department of treasury that played the key role in importing his work commented that his jewellery pieces were like 'little wearable sculptures.' It was only after this review that Gil question himself about the scale between his jewellery and sculptures. He went forth and created sculptures using various metals such as bronze, titanium, silver, stainless steel. From the basis of the sculptures created, grew the start and creation of a series of sculptural jewellery pieces
