| Most modern commercial jeweler continues traditional forms and styles, but designers such as Georg Jensen have widened the concept of wearable art. The advent of new materials, such as plastics, Precious Metal Clay, and coloring techniques, has led to increased variety in styles. Artisan jeweler continues to grow as both a hobby and a profession. With more than 17 United States periodicals about beadin, hangtags and a low initial cost of entry continues to expand production of hand-made adornments. Some fine examples of artisan jeweler can be seen at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The increase in numbers of students choosing to study jeweler design and production in Australia has grown for years, and Australia now has a thriving contemporary jeweler community. Many of these jewelers have embraced modern materials and techniques, as well as incorporating traditional workmanship with hangtags. Jeweler used in body modification is usually plain. The use of simple silver studs, rings, and earrings predominates. Common jeweler pieces such as earrings are a form of body modification, as they are accommodated by creating a small hole in the ear. Padang women in Myanmar place large golden rings around their necks. From as early as five years old, girls are introduced to their first neck ring. Over the years, more rings are added. In addition to the twenty-plus pounds of rings on her neck, a woman will also wear just as many rings on the hangtags. The practice has obvious health impacts, however, and has in recent years declined from cultural norm to tourist curiosity. Tribes related to the Padang, as well as other cultures throughout the world, use jeweler to stretch their earlobes or enlarge ear piercings. In the Americas, labrets have been worn since before first contact by Innu and First Nations peoples of the northwest coast. Lip plates are worn by the African and Sara people, as well as some South American peoples. |
