In den beiden großen Stilepochen Jugendstil und Art Déco war Theodor Fahrner in Pforzheim einer der innovativsten und interessantesten Schmuckhersteller in Europa. Als einer der ersten Fabrikanten Deutschlands schließt sich Theodor Fahrner Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts der Reformbewegung, dem Jugendstil, an und beauftragt Künstler mit modernen Schmuckentwürfen, so u.a. Franz Boeres, Rudolf Bossel, Max Gradl, Ludwig Habich, Patriz Huber, Georg Kleemann, Erich Kleinhempel, Joseph Maria Olbrich. Im ersten Jahrzehnt des 20. Jahrhunderts ist er führend mit seinem „Design-Schmuck“.

Nach dem Tode Fahrners, im Jahre 1919, übernimmt Gustav Braendle die Firma und führt sie unter dem eingeführten Markenzeichen „FAHRNER-SCHMUCK“ weiter. In den 1920er und 1930er Jahren entsteht extravaganter Schmuck im internationalen Stil des Art Déco. Entwerfer wie der aus Wien stammende Maler Anton Kling bestimmen mit ihren Kreationen nun den neuen geometrischen Stil des „Fahrner-Künstler-Schmucks“.

Das Standardwerk über den Pforzheimer Schmuckwaren-Fabrikant Theodor Fahrner ist wieder lieferbar! Über 600 Schmuckstücke von namhaften Entwerfern zeigen die schönsten Objekte aus Jugendstil und Art Déco. Als Sonderausgabe zum Sonderpreis.

Tiffany's magical lamps and stained glass

This lavish volume provides an overview of the fifty-year career and the highly innovative and creative work of Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933). The inventor of Favril Glass, an opalescent glass with deep, glowing colour that far surpassed, in quality and beauty, all existing techniques, Tiffany was one of the most original and influential designers and America's leading exponent of Art Nouveau. Tiffany Studios, founded in 1889, were well known for their use of sensuous, organic, natural and floral forms. Tiffany's iridescent coloured vases and his lampshades with their haunting colours became extremely popular and sought after the world over. Although known primarily as a glass artist, Tiffany was also involved in interior design, furniture, rugs, ceramics, mosaics, jewellery, bronzes, desk sets, mirrors and more. He decorated the White House, as well as the homes of Mark Twain, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie and others.

With some 400 colour plates, text by Jacob Baal-Teshuva, a documentary index, and an illustrated biography/bibliography, Louis Comfort Tiffany pays homage to the brilliant life's work of the man who revolutionized both the art and technique of stained glass.

Tiffany Colored Gems, the latest in Abrams’ series with Tiffany & Co., traces the dazzling history of the company’s use of coloured stones in its jewellery design from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day.

Lavishly illustrated with archival and contemporary photographs, Tiffany Colored Gems also includes paintings of famous stones and those who wore them in centuries past, as well as design sketches and drawings from Tiffany’s extensive archive. Prominently featuring the designs of Paloma Picasso and Jean Schlumberger, as well as many others, including Frank Gehry, Tiffany Colored Gems is sure to tantalize and captivate jewellery lovers around the world.

Twentieth-century Jewellery presents an extraordinary collection of jewels, jewellers and international maisons which, from the start of the twentieth century to the present day, have mirrored the changing taste of the twentieth century. It is a global journey which takes us from France to Russia, from the United States to Italy, from Britain to Germany and from the Netherlands to Scandinavia. From the Art Nouveau masterpieces of Lalique, Vever and Fouquet to Art Deco elegance and the wonders of Cartier, Boucheron, Tiffany, Mario Buccellati and Fabergé. From the inventions of Van Cleef & Arpels and Bulgari in the 1950s to the Dutch avant-garde and the artist’s jewel of the 1960s, ending with illustrations of up-to-date and contemporary jewellery design. A brilliant historical-critical essay introduces a magnificent selection of pictures, designed to be an ideal gallery of masterpieces of twentieth-century jewellery, accompanied by technical explanations and an exhaustive glossary.

A tribute to the sumptuous jewelry and the glamorous history of Van Cleef & Arpels

For more than a century, the designs of the French jewelry house Van Cleef & Arpels have represented the marriage of an unrivaled sense of elegance with an extraordinary level of technical expertise and prowess. The comprehensive monograph Van Cleef & Arpels: The Art & Science of Gems is a glittering, gorgeous tribute to a century of luxurious, glamorous jewelry design and incomparable mastery of materials. Lavishly illustrated with meticulous photographs by Patrick Gries, the book’s pages are filled with sparkling chalcedony, cornelian, rubies, emeralds and colored diamonds, beautifully set off and enhanced by the jeweler’s designs (at alternate moments whimsical or understated, as the materials demand).

Suggesting the complexity and richness of Van Cleef & Arpels’ output, the book is organized thematically around categories such as “Abstractions,” “Couture,” “Nature” and “Icons,” and additionally features some of the legendary stones from the annals of the house’s history, such as the “Blue Princess” sapphire and the “Walska Briolette Diamond” brooch. Texts by art historians, personalities from the fashion world and mineralogists offer context and highlight the full extent of the jeweler’s art. Essential for those who love and lust after jewelry design, this eminently covetable volume celebrates the Van Cleef & Arpels style.

From Empress Farah and the secrets of the treasure of Iran, to Queen Marie Amélie’s missing emeralds, via Fantômas and the blood-red rubies of the kings of Burma, entering the world of Van Cleef & Arpels is like embarking upon a fascinating treasure hunt. In this book, Vincent Meylan explores a century in the history of one of the most prestigious Parisian jewellery dynasties. He opens doors and unlocks caskets to reveal the mysterious, and sometimes fantastic, stories of its clients and the fabulous and exceptional stones that they entrusted to the “golden hands” of Van Cleef & Arpels. The Maharani of Baroda, the Duchess of Windsor, Princess Lilian of Belgium, Elizabeth Taylor, Marlene Dietrich, Princess Grace of Monaco, Maria Callas, Barbara Hutton and the Countess of Camargo: they are all the heroines of this incredible epic full of rubies, diamonds, emeralds, and sapphires.

Van Cleef & Arpels: Treasures and Legends is full of extravagant fairytales and fascinating behind-the-scenes revelations. It also tells the sometimes troubled story of a dynasty of jewellers, of gifted men and women who have, for over a century, helped to shape that inimitably Parisian art de vivre that is the envy of the world.

About the Author:

Vincent Meylan is responsible for the history and royalty pages in Point de Vue. He is also a specialist in precious stones and in 'haute joaillerie'. He is the author of several biographies, Queens' Jewels and Boucheron: The Secret Archives.

The exquisite creations of Fulco di Verdura stand out from the designs of other 20th-century jewelers for their exuberance and refined glamour.

His devoted admirers included Cole Porter and his wife Linda, Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo, along with prominent society figures such as the Duchess of Windsor, Diana Vreeland and Mona Bismarck. They not only collected Verdura’s jewelry but his wit and erudition were in great demand at their dinner tables.

Patricia Corbett documents Verdura’s fascinating career.
Born into the Sicilian nobility in 1898, he left his ancestral home in the mid-1920s, moving to Paris where he hoped to be a painter, but his true vocation was revealed once he began designing jewelry for the discriminating customers of Chanel.

The author has been given access to all of Verdura’s archives and has interviewed many of his surviving patrons. Wonderful colour photography, as well as illustrations of the celebrities who wore his pieces, convey the irresistible genius of his designs.

Decade by decade, the lavishly illustrated "Vintage Jewellery" recounts over 100 years of history, from Lalique's Art Nouveau enamelling at the turn of the twentieth century to Cartier's gemstones and Christian Dior's mid-century costume pieces to Harry Winston's diamonds. Accompanied by archive images, fashion photography and specially commissioned photographs of period pieces, the most collectible and beautiful bracelets, necklaces, rings and brooches are showcased. An invaluable reference as well as a visual delight of times past, the book explores the key designers and jewellery houses that shaped jewellery design.

"Бриллианты" - книга уникальная. Это совместный труд писателя и двух фотографов, которые одновременно являются специалистами в области алмазной индустрии. В книге собран материал о малоизвестном мире алмазов, причем в его переходный период - в начале XXI в., на этапе радикальных перемен в отрасли.

С древнейших времен и вплоть до наших дней алмазы всегда окружала тайна. Они стояли особняком в ряду прочих драгоценных камней, что порождало огромное количество мифов. На протяжении всей истории человечества алмазы и бриллианты были символами власти и монаршего статуса, любви и даже веры, ими исчислялось богатство монархов, о чем говорит история подавляющей части камней из царских сокровищниц.

У вас появится возможность проследить этот новый, нарождающийся алмазный путь, ведущий из России, Канады и Африки к центрам торговли сырыми алмазами и местам их огранки. Вы заглянете в глубины истории и узнаете о старейших приисках Индии, где добыча алмазов велась уже свыше тысячи лет назад. Алмазы практически не поддаются уничтожению, и в идеале каждый добытый некогда камень существует и поныне. Авторы поведают о камнях старых и новых, уникальных и бесценных, и тех, что сопровождают нас в повседневной жизни.

Немалый интерес вызывают также технологии, которые позволяют добыть алмаз, огранить и превратить в уникальный камень редкой красоты.

Камни - извечные спутники человека. С древних времен человек складывал дома и создавал орудия труда из камня. Они и сейчас служат материалом для изготовления украшений. Правильность форм и красота окраски издавна делали драгоценные камни и минералы объектами наблюдения любителей природы и предметами коллекционирования.

В этой книге вы найдете подробное описание природных сокровищ Земли - от происхождения горных пород и драгоценных камней до их современного многогранного использования.
