Jewelry That Makes You Think.

INTERVIEW JANE BOWDEN, OWNER OF ZU DESIGN Adelaide, South Australia by Barbara Paris Gifford "I love the term art jewelry, as I love the German word Schmuck . Art jewelry, to me, is an inclusive term that describes more creative one-off pieces, pieces that can be made of any imagined material from found to precious. For me the use of the term jewelry means that as outrageous as a piece can be, it should be able to interact with the body and be worn. Jewelry can be a beautiful stand-alone object in its own right, but once we wear it it takes on a different perspective."
