Frieda Munro pone toda su experiencia como joyera y profesora al servicio del lector y describe en detalle cada posible problema que un joyero puedo encontrarse al crear sus piezas, formas de resolverlo o alternativas para convertir lo que podría se un fallo en parte del diseño o incluso para recuparar la pieza, reciclándola en algo distinto.

En cada obra nueva, Monzó refina su relación con el mundo de las cosas y del "casi nada" mediante metáforas que exploran la luz y la ligereza, lo maravilloso y lo inacabado y, sobre todo, lo neutro. Nos quedamos perplejos: joyas que parecen contradecir sus principios fundamentales —como materialidad, comunicación o seducción— y que, al mismo tiempo, los reafirman enormemente; joyas que rehúyen de la política del deseo y, en su lugar, no exigen nada de nosotros, solo que apreciemos su potencial liberado de "mensaje" artístico. La joyería de Marc Monzó quizá sea uno de los trabajos más desafiantes del panorama de la joyería contemporánea.

The focus of this book is on the side of the brooch that usually isnt noticed: the reverse. When we encounter an attractive piece of jewelry, our instinct is to admire the front, but when we turn it around, it often reveals a secret. The author lets us in on that secret, typically only shared between the maker and the wearer.Clever brooch makers often adorn the back with items meant to complement the front, or the backside may have a unique, intricate design all its own. When you flip a brooch over in your hand you may find a surprise message, a hidden pattern, or even an unlikely foreign implement.The result is a better understanding of the artists abilities and personality. Now, you can judge for yourself what the 128 artists respresented in this volume had in mind, and, if you are a jewelry maker, you may be inspired to leave your own unique mark.
