[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4470306, member: 2844"]There are more ways to look at jewellery.;) Personally I'd rather have a piece with character and accept any 'flaws', than a 'picture perfect' piece that is totally clinical, as I call it. The piece with character is alive, and often a testimony to the maker and its history. The clinical piece could have been made by anyone with the skills, but there is no real artistry or personality, only technique, which means it has no heart and looks dead to my eyes. This is of course my view, and I won't criticize anyone for prefering purely technical jewellery. All (well, most:joyful:) jewellery has its merits, and there is something for every taste.[/QUOTE]
