'Jewellery for the Real World'
 
1. Objects you might see today
Those that might have belonged to someone else; one that can be used to open bottles; those pierced by vent holes; those that are unfamiliar; one that looks like it has been dropped; those full of clues; ones that might be described as facetious; cheerful chubby ones; those featuring facets; those that were loved and well used.

Karl Fritsch
'metrosideros robusta'
 
"Metrosideros robusta is the latin name for the Northern rata.
I see parallels in my approach to jewellery and the growth of the rata tree. These trees start life as an epiphyte in the branches of another tree. As it grows the epiphyte rata sends roots down to the ground. It eventually replaces the host tree when it dies.
More than ten years ago I began using conventional jewellery pieces as a grounding material in my work. Like the epiphyte rata I added my attachment in gold or silver, nestling in or on a ring and also growing over entire pieces of jewellery.
Most of my recent rings do not include any ready-made pieces, they are entirely replaced by my own creations." Karl Fritsch, 2006

'Never A Rose Like You'
"Continuing my interest in the memento mori, the role of the gift, and the fake, this series explores
the rose and its longstanding history as a marker of occasion, celebration and remembrance
within jewellery adornment."
Renee Bevan, 2006
