Crocodiles, birds and fish, here is some awesome animal jewelry!

Today on Bizzita: a wild collection of animals! Stunning jewelry with crocodiles, snakes, birds, bulls and so much more. As we presented last week a blog about the taxidermists, we thought it would be just lovely to keep the theme going on! So enjoy all that natural beauty!

I love art that I can recognize. Animals, people, trees, nature...and all objects that I can name. I find it much harder to really appreciate art that I can’t figure out what I am seeing. The idea of being able to create it myself is always the first thought that pops up. I know that that is complete nonsense, of course.

I once was in the  Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the Museum of contemporary art. I saw there a few pieces that did not resemble anything at all. Even if I tried hard to find something in it, it simply wasn’t there. But I have to admit, that once I let go of my desire to *find something I could recognize* it managed to me feel emotions that I would not have expected at all. I felt deeply touched by this piece. And I cannot get my head around it. ;-) One of the paintings that *got me* was from Barnett Newman: 'Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue III', 

Zorab snake and the crocodile is by Paolo Piovan from Vicenza

But back to the love for animals and art. Whether it’s the work of the Old Masters from our Dutch heritage, the contemporary designs in either fashion, furniture and jewelry, it is the animal theme that draws my attention.

Rather than going on rambling on my passion for animals I love to show you some pieces I admire and adore. I am sure that most of you would not wear this, or even desire to wear this, but I am pretty sure, that if by now you have read more about jewelry on this blog. And you have become more accustomed to see some different pieces of jewelry too, than you would normally find at the jeweler around the corner in your town ( that’s unless you live in some cool place like Monte Carlo or something ;-) you will appreciate them for the art they are. For it takes a real master to create a piece like this that really captures the movement, the spirit and the elegance of the animal itself.

Enjoy!
