Contemporary Link Necklaces
CONTEMPORARY STYLE
Contemporary jewelry is inextricably linked with the moment in which it is created, frequently reflecting current social, cultural and political issues such as environmental consciousness, identity and sustainability. It’s informed by fashion trends, from the chokers of the 1990s to the large chain necklaces of the early 2000s.
Jewelry is one of the oldest forms of adornment. Lockets made of silver or gold have been treasured gifts for hundreds of years, for example, and charm bracelets, which have existed since prehistoric times, didn’t become especially popular until the 19th-century reign of Queen Victoria. For many centuries, fine jewelry was used primarily to express wealth or status through lavish materials. Then, in the 1960s, a concept known as the “critique of preciousness” emerged, with jewelers creating pieces that did not get their value from gemstones or precious metals. Instead, it was the jeweler’s artistic vision that was prized and elevated.
This shift still informs Contemporary jewelry being made by artists today. Whether they are using cheap, found materials and working with provocative geometric shapes or seeking out the rarest stones, they are imbuing their work with meaning through their skills, techniques and ideas. Innovative designers such as Elsa Peretti, who popularized sculptural sterling-silver jewelry for Tiffany & Co., and David Yurman, who twisted metal into the simple yet striking Cable bracelet, have also influenced the direction of Contemporary jewelry’s forms and aesthetics.
Meanwhile, technological advancements like metal alloys and laser engraving have led to new possibilities in jewelry design. Now, edgy makers and brands as well as minimalist designers are pushing Contemporary jewelry forward into the 21st century.

Freshwater Pearl and White Zircon Necklace
By Martha Seely
Located in Carlisle, MA
From the Shooting Stars collection, this is the Constellation necklace is in sterling silver with lovely natural and white freshwater pearls and sparkling zircon (These are NOT lab created cubic zirconium stones, but real stones - and they honestly sparkle more than diamonds, but they do not have the strength of a diamond). The finished necklace is 18" long and the stones are bezel set on a cable chain with a lobster clasp. This is a delicate necklace that you will feel comfortable wearing to work, out to dinner, to the theater and to most social events. This pearl necklace is definitely NOT your grandma's pearls and could be lovely for a bride or members of the bridal party...
