A bit of something different today - kinetic jewellery. Seeing how I need to design something with mobile/moving/moveable elements for Goldsmiths Competition, I thought that kinetic jewellery would be interesting to look into. So there will be a lot of images in this post with links to the websites of respective creators.

Kinetic jewellery is characterized by motion or movement.
Kinetic jewellery always has elements which move;  I've also included jewellery, which you can assemble together in the post, because I view it as having moveable elements.

Starting off with man of the hour - Friedrich Becker - creator of kinetic jewellery and objects, internationally renowned goldsmith who made a major contribution to the art of golsmithing. His work is absolutely brilliant - pictures don't do it justice - you have to see his pieces in motion to fully understand just how creative he was. If you ever have opportunity to see his work in real life - take it; if you know you won't have that chance, but  are still interested, then watch short video I found on YouTube below.
