Claire Halliday talks architecture with jewellers.
Architects and jewellers do the same job, just to different scales. By adorning our body with jewellery, we are, in a way, inhabiting the work.

When architects add skirting boards to mask the spaces where floor meets wall, they are accessorising a building. Think of cornices as eyebrow rings.
In recent years, though, there\'s been a surprising amount of cross-pollination between the crafts.

Sometimes it\'s literal: Denton is married to eminent jewellery designer Susan Cohn.
Between architecture and jewellery that bit further, producing a Grid.
For Tilden, beauty can be found in \"the patterns and repeated elements in buildings, signage, machinery, transport\" of the city\'s architecture.

\"Work,\" she says of her works in glass, titanium, gold, silver and platinum. \"The constant exposure to repeated forms - the grid of the CBD, the patterns made when windows in high-rise office buildings are lit up at night, signage and advertising, the use of materials like steel mesh or glass, for example, in Federation Square, or the stained grey concrete of the footpath. There is so much detail to observe and draw on for inspiration.

Changes in form and colour, a passion she discovered while working as a child on her family\'s farm in country Victoria.
\"It was my job to sort and pack endless trays of plums, grading them by eye for size and ripeness. I really enjoyed the sorting and changes in shape, colour and texture of the fruit,\" she says.

\"Since childhood, I have had the strong desire to make things, and have collected anything that was available in multiples. For example, shells at the beach, or discarded betting slips during a time.\"
Today, Tilden, 38, has taken her eye for repetition to become As the curator at Flinders Lane\'s Craft Victoria gallery, Kate architectural planning.

Later this year, the store is holding a professions.
\"Not all jewellery is mini-architecture but, yes, some of it can certainly be seen that way,\" Rhodes says, adding that decoration \"Jewellery takes on new dimensions in the physical world - that is, the body for this kind of injection. Its structure or materials means that it wants to hang off the body, rather than on it.

For example, think about neck ruffs or safety pins through the nose or Susan Cohn\'s Ariel and Doughnut necklace and bracelet.\"
Brooch, Tilden says that one of her favourite buildings is the Exhibition in London. Other architecture-related influences came Susan Cohn and saw husband John Denton\'s work up close.

\"Seeing his work and creative process was extremely exciting and energising,\" Tilden says.

Qualities of materials and allude to architectural ideas,\" Tilden says.

\"During the design phase for this show, we spent a lot of time walking around Melbourne laneways with a camera, capturing the surfaces, patterns and shapes of the inner city, which we have incorporated into the show.\"

Architectural jewellery also uses a huge range of materials, world, Rhodes mentions David Phillips, who makes brooches that light up when you put them on, as well as the undisputed queen of jewellery design in Melbourne, Marie Funaki. Then there is RMIT graduate Robert Baines, a designer Rhodes describes as \"a master of construction of \'fictional\' jewellery,\" she says.
His passion for creating \"complex forms\".

\"At the time, the jewellery materials were conducive to the intricacy. I was also fortunate to go to a secondary school and lived in the Eltham area, where jewellery was considered as art,\" Baines says.
While he says that his \"simple, low-priced pieces\" are The processes involved in one of his creations?

\"I use unique long time,\" he says. \"I can make a piece within the hour. I sometimes make a piece over two years.

Frank Lloyd Wright once described architecture as \"life, or at record of life as it was lived in the world yesterday, as it is For creators of these smaller architectural works, the same thought might apply. \"They are at opposite ends of the spectrum - macro and micro - but both deal with the human body,\" Tilden says of the connection between the two. \"The body is considered in the scale of both.
