Art historian and author Jorunn Veiteberg has been wearing and collecting jewellery with a passion ever since she was a teenager. Covering nearly fifty years, her collection contains some 550 items, including work by 210 jewellery artists from thirty different countries - some mass-produced, others significant works of art. Conventional forms live side by side with experimental objects, and political statements mingle with humorous asides. The book deals with how Veiteberg became a collector, why she focused on art jewellery and what it can achieve as an artistic medium. It's a personal story, but at the same time the volume is a contribution to the recent history of crafts, one which expands our understanding of jewellery.
