About this book
A richly illustrated history of contemporary jewellery in Australia and New Zealand, tracing its development from European influence into a distinctive expression of place and identity. Bringing together important makers, objects and historical context, the book explores the influence of local materials, landscape, Indigenous and settler cultures, and changing ideas about art and adornment. An impressive and inspiring reference for collectors, jewellers and anyone interested in Australasian design.
