I missed the contemporary jewellery show, but I found some in the NGV collection that might do. The question was to find 4 pieces that confront your understanding of jewellery.
I have images of three, I could have included a ring or two to this, but the collection was small, and the rings, although cumbersome, might not be so confronting really.

| This is a necklace made of aluminium and brass, made by Gert Mosettig. I would find this very uncomfortable to wear, it looks like bullets and hinges combined. It has more of a connotation of a crown of thorns I think. |

| Necktie Necklace, by Alan Bacon 1971Silver, transparent and opaque synthetic polymer. This is probably more wearable, but it would be very stiff and awkward. I could see this on a cat walk, but not worn by most. |

| This bracelet or bangle, is made from silver and ebony. It looks more like a fancy dip bowl, or table decoration, and would be very cumbersome to wear due to the amount of ebony that protrudes out sideways. This would make doing anything rather awkward. Not very confronting, but design wins over being practical. |
