Jewel in th

e city

- contemporary jewellery student competition

Jewel in the CityBody adornment is both personal and public having the capacity to express

who we are and what we want to say about ourselves more quickly and

accurately than any verbal communication. Anyone regarding jewellery

as merely an adornment should consider the range and complexity of

ideas and products generated by a single theme.

‘Inside Out’ inspired designers from around the world to produce

wearable artefacts that could also be, for example, a thought provoking

idea, a pre-conceived notion turned on its head or a visual joke. For those

of us fortunate enough to be invited to be part of the judging panel the

enjoyment of unpacking entries was a unique pleasure. Each bubble-

wrapped parcel revealing carefully considered and beautifully constructed

pieces of body art. I was amused to see how many times each of us held

a piece to a wrist, lapel, waist – trying out the personal wearability of

the solutions. The variety of approaches and materials provided treat

after treat, taking us through a range that ran from humorous and

quirky through to complex and thought provoking. The very best work

demonstrated the essential elements of excellent design by elegantly

combining a thought provoking idea with technically skilled execution.

‘Inside Out’ was part of Ars Ornata Europeana, a major international

jewellery conference. This included an exciting and varied series of

exhibitions and events in and around The City and was launched at

Manchester Town Hall. Not only were designers from all over the world

invited to compete, but the undergraduate category was a rare opportunity

for students to take part in a major international conference and have

their work viewed by delegates from all over Europe. We all hope the

experience inspired emerging and talented young designers to continue

their practice and look forward to seeing their work in the future.
