Jewellers followed this tradition, or even took it a step further, by recycling materials to make entirely new creations. With today's consciousness of global warming and the need to use sustainable materials the jeweller of the future will undoubtedly engage more with recyclables. \r\n\r\nRecycling is a major aspect of ROY's work. She often transforms aluminium street signs and mounts them in bracelet panels. This bracelet in the V&A is made of recycled and disguised colourful re-used 'bus stop signs'. Transformed into jewellery, they create intricate abstract forms allowing the viewer to make their own associations. ROY does not reject precious materials in fact small diamonds inserted into the panels form sparkling highlights.  \r\n\r\nROY was trained at the Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburg, and Kent State University, Ohio.","physicalDescription":"A band made of nine hinged panels of irregular shape each decorated with a panel of blue and white silk-screen printed aluminium, set with a total of three diamonds.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"ROY","id":"A5585"},"association":{"text":"designer and maker","id":"x34662"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"silver","id":"AAT10977"},{"text":"diamond","id":"AAT11084"},{"text":"aluminium","id":"AAT11015"}],"techniques":[{"text":"hinged","id":"AAT192819"},{"text":"riveted","id":"AAT53019"},{"text":"silk screen printing","id":"AAT53281"},{"text":"stone setting","id":"x34787"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Silver, diamonds, recycled street sign, silkscreen printed, hinged and riveted","categories":[{"text":"Metalwork","id":"THES48920"},{"text":"Jewellery","id":"THES48930"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"MET","id":"THES48599"},"images":["2007BR3526","2007BR3527"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"91 (VA)","id":"THES49703"},"free":"","case":"43","shelf":"C","box":"4"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Bracelet","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"USA","id":"x29333"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1993","earliest":"1993-01-01","latest":"1993-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Anonymous gift","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Length","value":"18.8","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Height","value":"4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"maximum","note":""},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"0.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"'ROY © 93'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"punched","position":"left-most panel on the back of the bracelet","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"Makers's mark and date","note":"Makers's mark and date; left-most panel on the back of the bracelet; punched"},{"content":"'925'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"left-most panel on the back of the bracelet","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"Standard mark (Hallmark)","note":"Standard mark (Hallmark); left-most panel on the back of the bracelet"},{"content":"'ROY'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"back of the clasp","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"Makers's mark","note":"Makers's mark; back of the clasp"}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"'Mediterranean' Bracelet, silver, recycled street sign and diamonds, designed and made by ROY, USA, 1993.","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Phillips, Clare.<font -u> Jewels and Jewellery</font>.
