Insights and Perspectives
Studio jewellery or art jewellery goes back to Alexander Calder when he began making pieces for friends and family back in the 1930s. The tradition has continued throughout the decades but is more popular today than ever. Studio art tends to be less expensive and therefore more accessible to a larger number of collectors – handy in today’s environment. This discipline is drawn from art, design and, at times, engineering and is now recognised via its associations with such esteemed organisations as the Cranbook Academy of Art and the Rhode Island School of Design. Exhibitions in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and appearances at SOFA, and the newly established permanent exhibition space in the Museum of Arts & Design in New York, have also helped.

| Although there has historically been a demand for vintage jewellery that exceeds supply, causing substantial increases in value, there is no guarantee that this will be the case in the future. Demand for vintage jewellery of a particular type may be affected by regional or world trends and tastes. | |
