Presenting jewellery borrowed from private collections along side current works by the same artists, the exhibition shares the passion of collecting and celebrates these highly original artists. Baubles, Bangles & Beads: Australian Contemporary Jewellery examines the social relationships that exist between the jeweller and wearer, the wearer and consumer and the created object.
