In The Grammer of Ornament, Owen Jones argued that "Construction should be decorated, rather than decoration being purposely constructed because there is always room for changes and improvements when constructing something. I agree with this because it makes sense that you decorate the construction so that you don't damage or ruin the decoration that has be carefully done to the construction.
The necklace above was designed by Janice Law. It is a laser cut umbrella necklace which is made from wood. Its lone role is to be ornamental and is an example of constructed decoration. The umbrella is being perceived in a way that has nothing to with its purpose or the substance it is made from.
