for some reason while slightly-delirious-levels-of-tired last night i found myself just. obsessing over how we never ornament shit any more.

like, okay. the thing that sparked this was my partner's flatmate's laptop stand. it is a very basic laptop stand - it's a metal X-frame, and it has little grips on the top ends of the front, so each end is kinda like

(shh i'm still very tired i don't feel like getting my tablet out)

and I was just sitting there like... man. when else in HISTORY, when else in THE ENTIRE ARTISTIC HISTORY OF THE WORLD, would we consistently be overcoming the urge to turn that weird little grip into a carved hand? a bird with open wings? a talon, perchance?

and then looking around the flat like... this is not a nasty flat, it's not badly-decorated or anything, and the same is true of my house, but where are the ornamentations?

By ornamentations, I don't mean "things that look nice", and frankly I actually love a lot of unornamented furniture that's just a Nice Shape or just really well-made. but at some point we also lost the art of - not adding things, exactly, but integrating little decorative flourishes into the things we make and own. carving floral designs into the front of your bookshelves. embroidering your work shirts. painting little designs on your doorframes and your window shutters. carving monstrances and vines and silly little guys into the archways of your grand architecture. putting a cheeky little hand carving on the laptop stand you use for work.

tbh I think there's some answers to be found in this in my boy William Morris' writing from nearly 200 years ago, because so much of the Arts & Crafts movement was based on recognising this loss. How, as industrialisation and mass production reshape design, we move away from artisans proving their chops with little tricks of the trade, because they now have to Add Value in a way that justifies spending ten times more on something that does the same thing. How, with cottage industries hamstrung and the working classes no longer having the long winter nights to whittle spoons and weave cloth, individuals no longer tend to make the things they use. How patents and copyright trickle down to a culture where originality is found only in structural difference, in the shape and the silhouette and the things that can be noticed on first glance.

and the weird thing is, I like unornamented goods. I am a dyed-in-the-wool English Quaker and highly ornamented styles are not at all my natural habitat. the baroque gives me a fucking headache. the first thing I did when I moved into this house was be like "i am getting these overwhelming patterns and squiggly things OUT."

BUT

i also remember as a kid being absolutely enamoured of Robert "Mouseman" Thompson's carpentry. he was a local(-ish, North Yorkshire) carpenter who made furniture and also did a bunch of lecterns and rood screens for churches, stuff like that. And every piece he did, he had a signature that he added:

he was very Arts & Crafts inspired, and you can tell. his furniture on the whole was pretty simple, clean lines and carved channels. but from the 1920s until he died in 1955 he always put a mouse on his work somewhere.

but this is the ornamentation I think I miss in my life. these cheeky little touches. the mouse climbing up the altar rail. the lion feet on chairs and tables. the flowers carved out of a bookcase. braid trimming on upholstery. painted vines climbing a windowframe. stonemasons making shapes in a lintel:

not huge and dramatic and overwhelming. just... artisans, having fun. making things look special, because it's neat and because it's a way to show off and because they can.

idk. I have no conclusion. I just have an image of that laptop stand in lacquered wood with little hands and feet, like a million bookstands and folding stools and the like which were made pre-industrially, and I think I just want to live in a world where that would be. not a statement? not a one-off item?

where everything wasn't so utilitarian and so plain.

i guess what i'm saying is: i wish as a culture we made more stupid little creative choices to make the world we live in fun?

The Cultural Significance of Jewelry Across Societies

https://www.wjdexclusives.com/blog/the-cultural-significance-of-jewelry-across-societies/

The Cultural Significance of Jewelry Across Societies

Jewelry is more than just a decorative accessory; it is a powerful symbol of cultural identity, status, and heritage that varies significantly across different societies around the world. From the intricate beadwork of African tribes to the sophisticated gold craftsmanship of ancient Indian civilizations, jewelry serves as a silent storyteller, conveying centuries of tradition, values, and social norms.

Historical Roots and Cultural Connections

In many cultures, jewelry is deeply intertwined with history and tradition. For instance, in ancient Egypt, both men and women adorned themselves with elaborate jewelry made from precious metals and stones, believing it to offer protection and convey their status. The pharaohs and high-ranking officials wore extensive amounts of jewelry, which also played a role in their burial rituals, intended to prepare them for the afterlife.

Similarly, Native American jewelry, particularly pieces crafted by tribes such as the Navajo and Zuni, often incorporates elements like turquoise, which is not only beautiful but is also thought to hold protective and healing properties. The designs often include symbols that represent various spiritual beliefs, tribal stories, and connections to the natural world.

Jewelry as a Symbol of Status and Wealth

In many societies, jewelry also signifies social and economic status. The materials used, such as diamonds, gold, and other precious stones, often represent wealth and power. In Victorian England, for example, jewelry was an indicator of social standing and personal wealth, with mourning jewelry becoming a widespread tradition to show respect and remembrance for the deceased.

Today, this tradition continues in various forms across the world. In modern Western societies, engagement rings and wedding bands, often diamonds set in gold or platinum, are used to signify marital commitment. These pieces are cherished, not only for their aesthetic appeal but for their representation of love and commitment.

Cultural Diversity in Design

Our fine jewelry brand from NYC celebrates this rich diversity of jewelry traditions by offering a collection that includes over 6,000 styles. Each piece is crafted with a nod to the cultural significances that jewelry holds globally. From elaborate filigree work reminiscent of Middle Eastern artistry to minimalist designs that echo Scandinavian simplicity, our collection is a testament to the varied ways that cultures around the world celebrate through adornment.

Craftsmanship and Authenticity

We take pride in our craftsmanship, ensuring that each piece not only reflects the beauty and precision of fine jewelry making but also respects the cultural heritage it represents. Our artisans, skilled in techniques both traditional and modern, work to bring a piece of the world’s rich cultural tapestry to our customers.

Jewelry is a wonderful way to connect with another culture's history and values, offering wearers a piece of the world’s interconnected stories.

Conclusion

At our brand, we believe that jewelry is much more than an accessory. It is a celebration of cultural diversity, a marker of personal and societal identity, and a bearer of tradition and history.

Pottery Ceramics Market: A Strategic Analysis of the Competitive Edge within the Industry

The global pottery ceramics market size is expected to reach USD 15.00 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 3.8% from 2022 to 2030. Increasing investment in the construction of luxury housing units is expected to propel the consumption of pottery ceramic products over the forecast period.

Art ware products such as sculptures, vases, and pots are widely used by real estate developers to improve the aesthetics of the property. Thus, the development of new luxury residential units is expected to augment the demand for the product in the said forecast period. For instance, in July 2022, Jubail Island Investment Company (JIIC) announced the construction of 135 acres of the Ain Al Maha village residential project in UAE. The 240-villa waterfront community is anticipated to be completed by 2025.

The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict has emerged as a challenge for the growth of the pottery ceramics industry as it has severely impacted the functioning of various industries globally. The conflict has affected trade and manufacturing, which has led to high volatility in commodity prices, thereby impacting the prices, demand, and supply of raw materials such as clay and gas.

For instance, in Bangladesh, clay from Ukraine was at least 10% lower than the clay supplied by other countries in terms of cost. However, considering the restraints during the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Bangladesh is importing clay from Malaysia and various European countries at high costs, which has augmented the production cost in the country.

Based on region, Middle East & Africa is anticipated to register the fastest CAGR of 4.9% in terms of revenue during the forecast period. The region is heavily investing in the construction of new luxury resorts and hotels, which is expected to augment the consumption of pottery ceramics products. For instance, in December 2021, Marriott International, Inc. announced that they are going to open two luxury hotels in Saudi Arabia in 2022.

Market participants continue to develop their products to stay ahead of their competition. For instance, in January 2022, Wienerberger, a provider of ceramic roof tiles, partnered with Exasun, a producer of innovative in-roof solar solutions, to manufacture high-performance X-Roof solar panels and X-Tiles to help in accelerating the energy transition process taking place in Europe and to expand their customer base in the region.

Pottery Ceramics Market Report Highlights

Rising gas prices around the world are negatively impacting pottery ceramics manufacturers. For instance, energy costs in Europe rose by GBP 400,000 (~USD 459,000) from February 2021 to February 2022

Based on product, the tableware segment held the largest revenue share of more than 73% in 2021. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the growing use of ceramic crockery in households and restaurants because of its aesthetic appeal

Based on region, in 2021, Asia Pacific was the leading regional segment with a revenue share of over 40%. The growth of the region is anticipated to be driven by the increasing investments in the development and renovations of hotels

The increasing penetration of the e-commerce industry is expected to positively impact market growth as e-commerce platforms help manufacturers sell their products anywhere across the world at the best price

𝗨.𝗦. 𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗧 𝗖𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗦 𝗧𝗘𝗖𝗛 𝗚𝗜𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗢 𝗔𝗕𝗨𝗦𝗘𝗦

Not guilty.

That's the verdict of a US federal appeals court in a case involving five tech companies accused of benefitting from child labour in Congolese mines. On 5th March, 2024, the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia made a 3-0 decision in favour of (Google’s parent company) Alphabet, Microsoft, Dell, Tesla and Apple Inc. in a case filed by 16 former Congolese child miners and their guardians.

The plaintiffs accused the companies of "deliberately obscuring" their dependence on child labour, in effect abetting the exploitation of many children to ensure steady supplies of cobalt. Some of the complainants were the guardians of children who’d been killed in cobalt-mining operations.

The court ruled that buying cobalt in the global supply chain did not amount to "participation in a venture," and there was no proof that the tech giants had anything more than a buyer-seller relationship with suppliers or had the power to stop the use of child labour.

Cobalt is in high demand as competition for market leadership in Electric Vehicle sales kicks into high gear. Nearly two-thirds of the world's cobalt is mined in DR Congo. The country has 2-million artisanal miners working under horrible conditions, according to DelveDatabase, an online database. Four critical minerals - copper, nickel, cobalt and lithium - will generate $16 trillion in the next 25 years, according to the IMF.

DR Congo's vast wealth is the key reason for the country's long history of exploitation and conflict - from Belgian King Leopold II running the country as his private estate to Western tech firms churning out high-end goods using Congolese minerals.
