A lavish exploration of how contemporary jewellery pushes the boundary between ornament and art

This thematic exploration of more than 950 works from the contemporary jewellery collection at the Dallas Museum of Art spans nearly a century up until the present and includes work by some of the field's most innovative and genre-defying makers. These masterpiecesβ€”from artists in Italy to Japan, New Zealand to the United Statesβ€”assert the centrality of ideas beyond aspects of materiality and function.

Through stunning photography and essays focusing on zones of the body, geometries as archetypes of form, identity as projection or protection, notions of movement and play, and the history of the museum's seminal collection, the author illuminates new ways of understanding and appreciating contemporary jewellery. Constellations is a valuable resource for jewellery scholars and enthusiasts alike.
