▶ PARLIAMENT OF TWO**: NEW RANGE

The Gallery has added a selection of new items by Parliament of Two** to the shop. The ring series titled forget me not is according to the jewellers "a modern take on those dearly treasured family heirlooms in the form of antique rings." In addition to the brilliant cut, emerald cut and three stone rings in silver coated bronze as well as brass, we now offer part of the bubble wand series. The bubble wand pendants are also silver coated bronze and come in three different designs (the heart and clover wands are pictured above left). We hope you are able to visit the Gallery jewellery shop soon to view these beautiful additions to our stock.

▶ JEWELLER SPOTLIGHT: PARLIAMENT OF TWO**

Melissa and Vanessa, the masterminds behind Parliament of Two**, may not be on the way to world domination as their name alludes, but the Gallery is delighted to present their jewellery range ‘Open Book.’ This collection is inspired by old book illustrations and uses old typography techniques to create works of curiosity, nostalgia and humour.

Left: Parliament of Two**, 'the man: training wheels' 2011, plastic, 750mm metal chain and findings, $40
Centre: Parliament of Two**, 'the heart: be still my...' 2011, plastic, metal brooch backs, $35
Right: Parliament of Two**, 'the snail: pass the salt' 2011, plastic, metal brooch backs, $35

The three sections of the range include Zoological Science, Technology and Medical Series, which are all black and white images available in brooches and necklaces that feature quirky designs with just as quirky titles. “the snail: pass the salt,” “the man: training wheels” and “the heart: be still my...” are just three imaginative, charming and clever examples that prove why a parliament of two is better than a parliament of one!
