When Paul Vanzella told me he was shooting with Sarah, I bought, begged and stole my way into that shoot. And who could blame me! I was there as a second model and helping out with styling but I couldn’t resist firing off a couple of snaps while Paul and Sarah were doing their thing.

History of Jewelry As decorative objects, jewelry is usually made of platinum, gold, silver and other precious metals often set with precious and semi precious stones. Jewelry is also made from various non-precious materials like glass, corals, wood, enamels, ceramics, bronze, copper, lead, gun metal, fedders and bone fragments. Since prehistoric times, jewelry has been worn by women and men on many parts of the body including the neck, head, wrists, waist, fingers, ankles, nose and ears. Archeology provides us with significant information on the jewelry of ancient times. For ancient Egyptians the most popular ornaments were signet rings, elbow bracelets, diadems, necklaces and bracelets made of stone or glass beads. The jewelry articles found in burial tombs provide us with vast information on the history of jewelry making in ancient times. The most important finding – Tutankhamen’s tomb discovered by Howard Carter – was filled with hundreds of priceless objects of egyptian art. In the burial tombs of Mesopotamia and the Near East, dated thousands of years BC, archeologists have discovered large quantities of jewelry made of gold and silver – rings, earrings, pendants, crowns and diadems. The similarities in design and style to Egyptian art, found in different parts of Mesopotamia and Persia, points to undeniable evidence of the interaction and trade between people in this part of the world.In the same period and until 400 BC Greek and Roman jewelry showing striking similarities – rings, earrings and necklaces were made using chains or wire links, with thin foil formed into leafs and ornaments. Stampato was often used as well as enamels. In later periods, mosaic was widely used in jewelry such as brooches, pins and bracelets. Gold coins connected together to form necklaces were common in Greece and Italy, as well as cameos of sea shells and corals. During the Etruscan period 700 and 500 BC, most of the jewelry was imported by Mediterranean merchants. Stampato articles were the main element which was later refined by Etruscan craftsmen to a higher degree.During the medieval period jewelry continued to exhibit the Roman artistic tradition with some regional variations. Articles made of precious and semi-precious metals were often inlaid with thin sliced colored gems, especially garnets. Enamels, the animal motif and the cloisonne tradition began to reappear in various parts of the continent. The most popular types of jewelry during this period were brooches, pendants and pins of religious motifs, mainly crosses inlaid with gems, enamels and pearls. Emblems increasingly became an important addition to a woman’s dress. Jewelry continued to evolve during the Renaissance period of the 15th-17th century and began to establish itself as one of the most important parts of fashionable clothing. The jewelry of this period is characterized by rich gamma and distinct classical architectural elements. Enamels, pearls and precious gems of different shapes began to play a much more important role in jewelry fashion. In the 17th and 18th Centuries, diamond jewelry became popular and jewelry began to express changing trends in fashion. The popularity of diamonds was on the rise thanks to the invention of a revolutionary new stone setting technique – the prong setting, which multiplies the brilliancy of a diamond. At the same time, along with precious metals other metals such as gun metal, cast iron, copper or melhior (german silver) were used in jewelry manufacturing. Engraving and stampato, along with gems and multicolor inlaid gold, were often used in mass production. Sets comprising a tiara, ring, earrings, and necklace or pendant became an important part of a woman’s outfit. At the end of the 19th century, jeweled accessories became very popular. Small snuffboxes, jewelry boxes, perfume bottles, watch cases, dresser accessories (combs, mirrors, brushes, scissors, etc., often finished with enamels), mother of pearl and egg-shell pieces were manufactured in Europe by artists such as Carl Fabergé. The beginning of the 20th century was characterized by the beginning of a new era in jewelry making. René Lalique, the French glass and jewelry designer, perfected the art nouveau movement first invented by Louis Comfort Tiffany. René Lalique’s stunning creations which featured nature themes using semiprecious gems, plick-ajour enamel, carved ivory and colored glass, are displayed in many museums throughout the world. At the same time, state of the art objects made of sterling silver began to emerge throughout Europe and the United States. In the 1920’s, Art Deco, another popular movement, was introduced in France. Art Deco incorporated geometric shapes not only in jewelry, but also in many aspects of decorative art.

from Aesop’s Fables A Rooster was scratching the ground in a farmyard in search of food for himself and his hens, when he happened to turn up a precious stone. “You may be a treasure to your proper owner,” he said, “but for me I would rather have a single barley corn than all the jewels in the world.” Moral: The value of an object is in the eye of the beholder.

Allure of shine / Catches my eye / Must make this mine / This I must buy / / I sell my soul / Mortgage the house / To meet the goal / And get for spouse / / This shiny thing / Made to be worn / Statement of bling / Looked at with scorn / / So let me now / Rethink this thing / Soon disavow / Value of bling / / Beauty divine / Priceless in worth / This brightest shine / She’s had from birth / / This fractal artwork was inspired by the human obsession for expensive, shiny things… or ‘Bling’. I have never understood the need for elaborate and gaudy jewelry. I see this sort of thing as more of an arrogant social statement than I do as an adornment to the human form, which is much more beautiful in it’s natural given state in my own opinion. / / To prove my point… when you see jewelry photographed for advertisements or catalogs, it is almost always shot alone and not on the body of a model in the location where it would be worn. Think about that for a second… they show clothing ON models, but they show jewelry OFF of models. This is because, in my own opinion again, jewelry does more to detract from the beauty of the human form than it does to complement it. / Remember Gollum… ‘my precious’. LOL / / Now some of you may think I’m just cheap, but that is not the case. I will buy my wife jewelry once in awhile, and when I do it is something simple, yet elegant, and of very high quality because my wife feels much the same as I do about ‘Bling’. When I do buy her jewelry, once again, it is more of a social statement to express my love for her with a material symbolism. It is definitely not because I think she looks more attractive while wearing it. Nothing is more beautiful in my eyes than my wife stripped of all clothing, jewelry, and makeup… as nothing can either accentuate or improve upon the natural beauty she was born with, as you can not possibly improve upon perfection! :) / / This was artwork created in Incendia. This was my first experiment creating my own base shapes and textures for Incendia. The base shapes were created from within Incendia with the built-in base shape editor. The material textures were created in Photoshop, and then imported into Incendia to use to render the fractal. The fractal is exactly as it was rendered. The only post-processing was to add additional black bordering to the background to bring it to a more standard printing size. Incendia’s maximum rendering size is currently only 3072×3072 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. The original artwork is 3600×3600 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. The details are difficult to see over the internet, so I have included a detail cutaway of the central spiral to give you a better idea as the overall detail of the artwork. The cutaway is at 100% of the original size. / / / /
