The two important questions to be answered through the historical and contemporary chapters of my Masters are as follows:
The historical is about what jewellery is and why it is made and worn and why figurative imagery is used...the contemporary is about why jewellers themselves employ figurative imagery in their work
Historical:
I feel it is important to understand the ‘nature of jewelery’ as Bruce Metcalf put it, before exploring why and how figurative imagery has been in historical jewellery...
Questions that might need to be answered here are:
What is meant by the ‘nature of jewellery’ and why is it important to understand this...? what is meant by figurative imagery? How is imagery employed historically in jewellery and why is it important to look at this...?
Contemporary:
Has the meaning of figurative imagery changed here...has the way in which it is used changed...How does this relate to my selected jewellers and what imagery do they employ...?
