Introduction

In Chapter two I will be looking at three relevant contemporary jewellers, two artists and one fashion designer. I have chosen these jewellers, artists and fashion designer because their work relates to different aspects of the jewellery I create.

Contemporary Jewellers

• Ann Cole Jewellery - She uses a punching technique inspired by her surroundings.
• Julie Blyfield - She uses punching, chasing and repousse techniques and also create three-dimensional forms by folding.
• Hombisa Jewellery - He uses the milky way technique to emphasize or to create different images and patterns.

Artists

• Clement Mmaduako Nwafor - He emphasizes the importance of the cloth as part of African culture.
• Katanu Kay Sanna - She uses the African wax prints in another medium other than fashion.

Fashion Designer

• Khosi Nkosi - I will be looking at the visual aspects of the designed garments, the design elements and principles.
