Modernist Jewellery emerged in the early to mid-20th century as a bold departure from traditional ornamentation.
Clean lines, geometric shapes, and innovative materials like stainless steel, acrylic, and even industrial components epitomise modernist jewellery. Designers such as Andrew Grima, Alan Gard, Georg Jensen, Art Smith and Lapponia rejected excessive embellishment in favour of minimalism and abstraction. Modernist jewellery often reflected social change, embracing individuality and artistic expression. Today, its influence persists in contemporary design, with many jewellers continuing to experiment with form, structure, and unconventional materials.
