| More than five years on, e.g. etal is still a highlight on the Little Collins catwalk of chic shops. But representing around 50 of Australia's most innovative contemporary jewellers, e.g. etal is more than just a retail space. Regular exhibitions in this intimate environment help bring creator and wearer together and from this, many commissioned pieces have sprung. E.g. etal artists take inspiration from both the natural and industrial world, sometimes utilising some very uncommon materials in the creative process. Pebbles, china fragments, Perspex and resin have all featured in pieces, while other designers seek new ways to interpret gold, silver and platinum. M.PADULA
