CONTEMPORARY GOLDSMITHING: TRADITION & EXCELLENCE

For centuries, master goldsmiths worked with precious metals, gemstones, and pearls, delivering highly desired jewelry and hollowware to courts and churches. The traditional techniques and skills needed to produce extraordinary pieces have changed little over time. Shown in museums, acquired for private collections, sold at esteemed auction houses, and universally revered, the finest examples of contemporary goldsmithing continue to astound viewers with their timeless beauty and skillful execution.

Contemporary Goldsmithing: Tradition & Excellence is the second virtual exhibition organized by SNAG. We are looking for high-quality images of exemplary work by contemporary, traditional goldsmiths. We welcome one-of-a-kind jewelry and objects created from precious metals. Of added interest are designs and processes implemented in response to the rising cost of materials. Each entry should epitomize the best of what is being created in the studio today.
