Art jewellery

Art jewellery has always been admired for its unique aesthetic appeal.

The material for creating such jewelleries vary dramatically. They range from precious metals and gems to acrylic, glass and wood and so on. The artist develops techniques for using these materials to maximise effect.

In many countries the local culture, art and craft is depicted through their jewellery.

Traditional forms are sublimed with contemporary designs, to suit the tastes of modern art lovers. Thewa, jadau and pacchikkam are symbolic of such art forms in India.

Thewa

Thewa is a traditional art of fusing 23K gold with multicoloured glass. The glass is heated by a special process to have a glittering effect, which in turn highlights the intricate gold work presented in the form of motifs. They depict the day-to-day life, legends, battlefields, nature, royal weddings, and hunting scenes. Each of these pieces are then ornamented with gemstones which add an exotic flavour of creative imagination spreading the fragrance of distinct poetry in each design.

Jadau

It is a form of embedded art. Usually different semi precious stones, gems, crystals and beads are embedded in gold/silver, by melting it a bit. Once the gold becomes pliable, the stones are set on it with great precision and artistry. On cooling the gems get fixed automatically i.e. without the use of any adhesive or carving.

Pacchikam

It is one of the most exemplifying forms of modern art jewellery, depicting style, colour and fine craftsmanship.

The process of making pacchikam is based on an intricate setting of gemstones usually made in a silver casing, because of the metal being highly malleable and closely resembling platinum, a precious metal.

Many contemporary designers are today inspired by this art form and are leading the way for further development in it.

Does anyone know how to apply adhesive gems around the eye?

im looking for a cute look with gems around the eye for my 21st birthday. nothing really extreme.

anyone know how to do this or have photos of it? i cant find any!

I think you basically do your make up normally (although people tend to have eyeliner on more thickly when wearing gems). Chose two colours (e.g. blue and white), beginning with the darker one on your eyelid and blending outwards to the lighter colour. Place the gems either on the outer corners of the eyes (maybe 2 or 3) or on the bottom of the eye (sometimes people even do it all around http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2007/stylewatch/blog/070129/emmy_rossum_300x400.jpg). You can do both eyes the same or opt for a more asymmetrical look (works well if you have a small cluster of gems (again, 2 or 3) in a triangular shape near one of the sides of your face, with the point going outwards.

Good luck. I'm sure I've seen some pictures before - will look.
