The Nobel Jewellery Prize 2012

Chemistry
At first glance the Carne work by Emmanuel Lacoste seems to incorporate extraordinary gems. Looking closer, the used materials takes the viewer from awe to disgust and back again. This transformation of beauty and story of decay is true jewellery chemistry.




Physics
One of the physical laws in jewellery is to keep a balance between control and random courses of events. This is a skill that Doris Betz masters to perfection

Making my jewellery feels like having a mystery-flight-ticket in the pocket, not knowing where one will end up. But at the same time I do have an aim. In the end there should be a damned good piece of jewellery.
/ Doris Betz




Medicine
Attai Chen has observed the endless, natural process of growth, consummation, decay and finally a new beginning. Attai’s jewellery is capturing this cycle. The result is immortal beauty.



Peace
Carolina Gimeno adds new worlds to our bodies. She creates transplants that will develop our knowledge and reduce our prejudices.






Literature
His breathtaking series of portraits tells a beautiful love story. Tore Svensson's strong language strikes right through the glass of any display and into the viewer's heart.




Congratulations to you all and thank you for making our lives more beautiful.

/ Sanna & Karin
