Platforma is a newly established curatorial initiative by Bella Neyman and Ruta Reifen.

Platforma’s main goal is to bring art jewelry out of the confines of an intimate circle of curators, collectors, and connoisseurs and give it the same respect that is bestowed upon contemporary painting, sculpture, and design.
Platforma wants to provide art jewelers support and a place to shine. It is your moment. Here is your platform. Stand tall and proud, show the world what you got!

EXPO ‘Alissia Melka-Teichroew’ – Oranienbaum Palace, Dessau (DE) – 26 Avril-30 Sept. 2012

Alissia Melka-Teichroew at Oranienbaum Palace

For the Grand re-opening of the Oranienbaum Palace in Oranienbaum-Wörlitz, Germany in April 2012, Alissia Melka-Teichroew designed a small collection of Jointed Jewels, the « Amalia Jointed Jewel Collection »

« Amalia Jointed Jewel Collection »

Alissia Melka-Teichroew – 2012 « Amalia Jointed Jewel Collection » -White-Set

On view during the Grand Summer Exhibition from April 26 – September 30 2012
The Grand Summer Exhibition is a showcase of contemporary Dutch Design and Fashion in combination with historical artefacts from the Dutch Royal Archives. Built for Henriette Catharina, Princess of Anhalt-Dessau, Oranienbaum is part of the heritage of the House of Orange-Nassau. With a major conservation and refurbishment process nearing completion, the palace and its park have been restored to their former grandeur.
The exhibition features work by prominent Dutch designers like Viktor & Rolf, Gijs Bakker, Hella Jongerius, Spijkers & Spijkers, Marcel Wanders, Iris van Herpen, Ineke Hans, Scholten & Baijings and Piet Hein Eek. Young up-and-coming talent is also in evidence.

Making of the Jointed Jewels:
Jointed Jewels represents a union of new and old, organic and industrial, functional and decorative. At the heart of the project is the intention to transform complex and separate elements into a new kind of whole.
It started as an exploration of ball joints, commonly found in cars and hip replacements. Alissia Melka-Teichroew had the idea of creating a ball joint -normally assembled with sepa- rate parts- as one single piece. Through the use of selective laser sintering (SLA) she was able to literally make a ball inside a ball. Hence, the industrial connecter was transformed into an object of beauty and wonder.
A clean and striking jewelry collection was created around this innovative concept. Each piece has been made with the same technique: it seems like an intricately assembled object but is in fact one single piece that was made in one go. Although the jointed pieces share the same birthing process, each item has a different identity.

Although the jointed pieces share the same birthing process, each item has a different identity. There are round, square, long and tubular forms that pick up references from recognizable icons of classic jewelry. Many of the bangles, necklaces and rings are interpretations of renaissance and Victorian jewels and there are also references to intricately made and very precious pieces by luxury brands like Bulgari and Cartier. In addition, there are multi-tiered necklaces that display connecting joints that resemble human bone structure.

« This osteologically inspired jewelry series is based on the ball and socket joint used in industry and as surgical replacements. Instead of constructing her jewelry as separate jointed pieces, they are produced as a whole. She used a technique called selective laser sintering to make a ball inside a ball.  Her innovative concept thus transforms a mundane industrial connector into adornment. « 

« The pieces in the Jointed Jewels collection seem to have been intricately assembled, but each was a single piece made in one shot. » (from mocoloco web site)

« The three ages of life were presented by three pieces of jewellery: three different rings with a stone.
Childhood: A huge, oversized ring made of fabric invites the young to touch it. It’s soft and pillowy, something to play with. For an adult the ring is the size of a bangle and could be worn thus.
Middle age: A great rock crystal shows us luxuriance and vitality. This ring stands for prime of life. The zircon below the rock crystal makes the sparkle and glamour more intensive.
Ageing: At the end there is just the frame left. The skeleton of a ring symbolises the momentariness of our lives and all things. » (Sabine Lang (DE))
