Man-made crystals

Abstract
With crystal growing techniques having been around for many years, bespoke man-made crystals now drive innovations in a range of industries. This has however not translated into the jewellery industry, where innovations with man-made crystals have remained limited, and most are still produced to replicate mined crystals. My PhD study will therefore investigate the design implications, possibilities and limits of utilising man-made crystals in the development of jewellery designs. Whilst conducting experiments and developing planned collaborations the changing role of the designer will also be explored in relation to the amount of control and input the designer has had in the material development stage. Finally, the appreciation of these man-made crystals and the context in which they are appraised will be explored as part of the contextual review.
