Fashion and Jewellery.

Arline Fisch was born in Brooklyn, New York on 21 August 1931. She is an American artist. Arline Fisch studied silversmithing at school of art and crafts in 1966-67. She was inspired by Egyptian jewellery at the Metropolitan Museum of art. In the 1960s she started exploring weaving, knitting and crocheting a lightweight metal wire, then she introduced weaving techniques into a piece of jewellery.

Arline Fisch is one of my favourite artists that makes fashionable contemporary jewellery. If you look at figure one below, it one of my jewellery piece. It's a bracelet and glove, it made up of copper and fine silver wire. The way she used a textile technique allows a lightness of structure. The major function of her jewellery piece is to make the person who wears it looks more elegant and beautiful.
