HANDCRAFTED JEWELS IN INDIA

Paper can be folded, embroidered, braided, sewn, sponged, plisséd, punched, recycled, glued, painted with water colors... But as jewellery, paper - a material considered impartial - takes on joyous and unexpected forms and décors. The idea was born because Paper Jewellery constitutes a unique way of showing people the importance of design, technique and expression that go beyond the economic value of the materials. Paper Jewellery was born in the s and since then, artists and designers worldwide have ventured into this realm of art, working with different techniques and expressions. And even though this realm grew in importance and diffusion, an anthological exhibition of this size and with such a large quantity of jewellery had never been organized before.
