Beyond the Rocks: Asia and Contemporary Jewellery

Discover the work of key contemporary art jewellers who draw inspiration from the arts and practices of Asia, particularly India, Japan and China. Through their artistry and craftsmanship, these jewellers create original works in both precious and non-precious materials, which range from beautiful reinterpretations of the traditional, to exquisite experimental pieces.

Leading specialist in contemporary studio jewellery, Miranda Rhys Williams from Tyger Glyn gallery, London, will examine the increasing role of design in contemporary jewellery, investigating whether jewellery as art will ever replace our love affair with precious rocks.


This lecture is part of Asian Art in London 2016.
