Porject # 3

The third project is to make a piece that relates to a certain time period or art movement. Having no idea what I wanted to do, I began researching and going through things such as art nouveau, art deco, Victorian and such. However, none of these things appealed to me. I have to say, I'm not really a fan of any of that stuff. The thing that caught my attention was modernism which stems from things such as cubism, surrealism, and such. It is not as ornamental which I really like. My taste in jewelry is basically just metal. Particularly silver. I like stones but nothing sparkly or dainty. I am more a fan of larger pieces. I really like the different shapes and styles found in modernism. A main form found is amoeboid. Hence an amoeboid ring set with maybe 2 stones...most likely just one I do not want it to be to big. With a hinge on the top to open up to etching. What goes inside is up to the wearer. I do not have a specific reason for the hinge other than I want to practice them and include it in my piece. Here are some images of things I was looking at when I designed the ring
