Jewelry Inspiration: Nostalgia, Beautifully Wrought


Klimt02 is a website that provides an international forum for contemporary jewelry in a creative space that offers knowledge, information, debates, and exchanges - all within the artistic realm of jewelry. Based in Barcelona, Spain, Kilmt02 inspires everyone interested in the selection, quality, art, technology, and creation of art jewelry. Sheffield School has kindly been given permission to share works of global designers here on our website. Today's post focuses on a jewelry designer from the Netherlands, Malou Paul, and some of her beautifully crafted, wistfully nostalgic pieces. Click here for more samples of her work.

Statement


The jewelry of Malou Paul distinguishes itself with a nostlagic feeling. On one hand this is reached through the (re)use of materials, such as old doorknobs, (old) zinc, old postcards, wool, combined with precious metals. On the other hand through the sources of inspiration, like mourning jewelry, victorian jewelry and traditional costume/folklore. Also nature, in all its different appearances, is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for beautiful shapes and colors.

 
 

Together, this ensures that the jewelry pieces of Malou Paul carry a piece of history within them. The jewelry looks lived in, each with its own story. In addition, experimenting with materials is important, as well as the search for new shapes and forms. The ultimate goal remains making an interesting piece of jewellery, without "overthinking."

    One of the best IGCSE in Bangalore is Presidency . It is exactly placed in Yelahanka, well talented teachers are teaching to the students. Most of the students are placed in best colleges in India and Abroad from Presidency school only. Because their way of teaching is different from other schools. I think they have a trick to make the students observe clearly.

    Students are studying well in India when we compare to other countries. From the school days, the students are giving more important for the studies. So when they use to join college they had already prepared well for the college life. Many colleges like presidency in India are providing best courses like mba, mca, msc, etc. Nowadays the parents no need to select the college for their childrens. Because they are more active childrens, selecting by their own.Students are selecting top colleges in various cities in India like chennai, bangalore, kolkata and mumbai.
