Jewelry

Small wearable and adornment objects worked chiefly in metal, stone or a combination of materials, one of the American Craft Council's own discipline categories. Belongs here: jewelry making and metalsmithing at the small-object scale once a jewelry-craft entity is minted for this atlas. Does not belong here: blacksmithing and other large-scale or structural metalwork, grouped under Metal, even though both begin from the same base material. No entity is minted here yet; the category stands ready for the coming width wave.
