There is something magical about earrings - they remain the most demanding and the most rewarding examples of the jeweller’s art. In this volume, as much a romance as a fine piece of art-historical research, the authors trace the history of earrings from ancient times to later periods from the 18th century onwards, when techniques of cutting gemstones were perfected.

The great names among the designers and international jewelry houses are all represented - among them Boucheron, Cartier, Mellerio, Van Cleef & Arpels, Verdura, Andrew Grima, Bulgari, Marina B., David Webb, Harry Winston and Graff. Illustrations cover every period and style, from Classical motifs to Rococo flowers to the bold lines of Art Deco creations. This study will be a rich source of inspiration and delight for collectors and fashion lovers, students and designers of jewelry.

His full-color shots — framed against raw, vibrant backgrounds — portray hundreds of self-fashioned individuals flaunting remarkably creative personal style. Animated by graffiti found on local streets, as well as quotes from style and cultural icons including Vivienne Westwood, Malcolm McLaren, and Alexander McQueen, this book encapsulates the avant-garde spirit of a new urban counterculture taking not just London but all major urban centers by storm.

The spaces children occupy in the home are not only play areas, but rather something much more complex, they are their kingdoms. It is where the major part of their leisure, rest and study time is spent.  From there, is the importance of instilling in them at a very young age to appreciate the value of sustainable products.

This is an exciting collection of the most innovative and original eco-friendly children's products. The spaces children occupy in the home are not only play areas, but something much more complex, they are their kingdoms. It is where the major part of their leisure, rest and study time is spent. It is in these spaces that we can begin to instil in them, from a young age, an appreciation of the value of sustainable products and environmentally friendly living. All of the products shown in the book are geared and manufactured with ecological friendly materials that do not harm the environment and perfectly adapt to the needs of the little ones at home.

Packaging products are designed to last as long as possible before recycling, where the vital process starts all over again. The importance of recyclable packaging is clearly recognised by all market sectors; either because the product itself is natural and eco-friendly or manufacturers wish to draw attention to the essence of the product, demonstrating commitment to environmental protection through company products. On the whole, awareness as regards the importance of recycled products is gradually increasing. Some products are even manufactured solely from sustainable, recycled and eco-friendly materials even though this is not openly illustrated.
The interest shown by designers in this field of packaging is clearly demonstrated by the outcome of numerous remarkable projects. Recyclable packaging, packaging produced from sustainable, eco-friendly recycled materials, re-usable packaging in its existing state, at least for a couple of times more or even repeatedly.

Whatever the product, all of this packaging has one thing in common: a container intentionally designed to protect and preserve our environment.
