ThinkingJewellery, a contextual leitmotif throughout the gemstones and jewelry study program at Trier University/Idar-Oberstein campus, encompasses both artistic and experimental dimensions of education. Its objectives include scientific research and discourse on the historical and societal interconnectedness of jewelry. One of the key highlights of ThinkingJewellery is the symposia, which have now been accompanied by a series of periodicals. The latest series delves into contributions to a contemporary theory of jewelry that transcends disciplinary boundaries and traditional categories.

The envisioned texts for ThinkingJewellery 2 encompass a range of topics. These include "On the Cultural History of the Gemstone," which draws from lectures presented at the 2017 symposium. "Goethe on Colour" explores the influence of color on artistic expression, while "Cold Shine - Empty Glamour" examines Jeff Koons's Celebration Series, based on insights from the symposium.

ThinkingJewellery 2 aims to expand the horizons of jewelry studies by exploring cultural, historical, and artistic aspects, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and promoting innovative thinking. Through its publications and symposia, it seeks to contribute to the growing discourse on the multifaceted nature of jewelry and its role in shaping our understanding of the world.
