Extract from the review…..

…….10 BEST (SINGLE) PIECES AT MUNICH JEWELRY WEEK 2016
By Karin Roy Andersson and Sanna Svedestedt Carboo - For this “Best Of” section, we told our jury members to look for pieces that made their heart skip a beat. We asked them to select an outstanding jewellery artwork that, due to craftsmanship and/or concept, carries its own weight regardless of whether it is placed on a plinth or on a person. We hoped that making the selection in this category would be like choosing only one piece of candy in an exuberant candy shop. In the abundance of 74+ jewelry exhibitions, finding the best of the best was destined to be a delightfully difficult task.

“This amazing piece by Andrew Lamb struck me for the mobile surface made by a myriad of tiny little pieces that change colors when viewed, and for the exceptional use of the goldsmithing technique. Whenever you use precious or nonprecious materials, you have to master your own technique: Only from a strict discipline can you reach a high, creative altitude and freedom.”
