A ring and a brooch made by Felix Vetter
There is a classic
sumptuousness about these pieces that is unique to the work of Felix Vetter. A
kind of baroque lyricism. Lushness and abandon as opposed to minimalist control.
Enjoy them. Do not sell the
One can see the pleasure
he had in designing these pieces.
Felix, more than any other local
goldsmith that I am familiar with, was able to create an intimacy between his
jewellery and the person that wears it. This is especially evident with the
detailed attention given to the inside of his rings. It is like a little secret
that is only really enjoyed and appreciated by the person who wears it.
See an earlier posting for examples
of this intimacy.
