NEO Classics

The “New Classics” are a revival of a revival.  After the French revolution Napoleon and Josephine had the crown jewels reset in the Neoclassic style, thereby claiming a link with the empires of Greece and Rome and emphasizing their imperial status. The NEO Classics are detailed plastic prints with functioning mechanisms.  They are presented on archival linen under glass in gilded frames. These pieces claim an aesthetic link to the field of jewelry while presenting the viewer with a contemporary interpretation of the form by using three dimensional printing technologies.
