Meeting notes

Yesterday in our Bachelor's degree meeting, my definition of contemporary jewellery was expanded. After discussion and going through some reading material, I came to the realization that "contemporary jewellery" cannot be tied down to one definition such as  "Art jewellery"

or "Modernist jewellery"

 or one descriptive definition, they almost seem to overlap. Even though I didn't come to an exact definition of "contemporary jewellery", one thing I didn't come to understand was that contemporary jewellery was set in the "now". Contemporary jewellery deals with current issues of the time, through the use of an array of jewellery techniques and making different styles of jewellery. One could make "narrative jewellery", using mixed /Recycled jewellery" to comment on social steroetypes and myths. So in conclusion the term "contemporary" can be ambiguous and has to be explained more descriptively, not just as "contemporary".
