What does Contemporary Jewellery mean?

I found this article by Benjamin Lignel while looking through Klimt02. 

Lignel says how contemporary jewellery is a type of practice understood as the offspring of craft-based design which became popular in the 60's as a  way to show craftsmanship and individuality as apposed to mass produced jewellery. Most jewellers would agree that contemporary jewellery is at a crossroad between craft, design and art.

I like how he compares art to jewellery because contemporary jewellery is an expression of ourselves, as jewellers we just use a different material to artist, where they would use paint we use metal.
