Jewellery for
now and then
AT the Kath Libbert Jewellery Gallery from July 17 to September 28 there is a selling exhibition of themed contemporary jewellery called
Now and Then!
The gallery is at the Salts Mill, Saltaire, West Yorkshire, a building recently described as "a wonderful architectural setting that is obviously inspiring" .
Among many points of interest will be examples of Australian designer Laura Deakin's Dishonest Pearls - half circles made from wood filler into which a pearl is pushed, then removed, leaving the lustre lining the 'shell-shaped' beads.
There will also be many examples of the real things, of course. Shown above is jewellery expert Susan Rumfitt of the Antiques Roadshow, examining a Victorian pearl necklace with an enamel and diamond clasp c.1860.
