O RNAMENT CELEBRATES A UNIQUE ART because its
context is the human being. Our creative energies are drawn
from an appreciation that what we make to adorn ourselves
is a beautiful and meaningful expression of life.
OUR VISION IS RICH in contemporary, ethnographic and
ancient history, anthropology, and archaeology. We believe
that we can help sustain a healthy and compassionate
society when we know more about our own and other
cultures. As an international resource for thirty seven years,
Ornament encompasses the world.
FROM THE BEGINNING we set ourselves the exciting challenge
of documenting the art and craft of personal adornment.
Ornament demonstrates the richness and diversity of this
vast subject with a stunning display of creative works, past
and present.
W ITH INFORMATIVE PROFILES we support emerging and
established artists in jewelry and wearable fiber who create
artworks that stimulate, enrich and invigorate us today and are
a profound and exquisite legacy for the years ahead.
