One Christmas Eve, Prince Sanruddin Aga Khan gave to his wife a magnificent jeweled box made by Cartier in the 1930s. So began the making of perhaps the most remarkable jewelry collection of a remarkable era for jewelry – and for French jewelry in particular.

In the 1920s and 1930s, smoky night clubs, cocktails, a new acceptance of make up beyond the boudoir, décor for smart apartments and dinner tables, provided a new landscape for the designs of the great jewelry houses of Europe, with Paris as the superstar of cities. The gloom of war was replaced either by an explosion of coloured gemstones and enamel, with bold colour codes of blue, green and orange, or by the simplicity of black, white and gold as risqué black became newly chic. Zen rock gardens, Chinese dragons, Persian birds, Japanese plum blossom or Tutankhamun motifs provided the richest source of global influences in a triumph of hedonistic creativity. How this new world developed, the tastes and skills of its decorative shapers – above all, Cartier – the process of design and making, the rules of feminine elegance are explored by expert authors, with detailed descriptions of over 100 objects by Sarah Davis accompanying them, in a parade of the finest from the single most popular era for all those interested in jewelry and the decorative arts.

About the Authors:

Princess Catherine Aga Khan is wife of the late Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan.

Pierre Rainero is Image, Style and Heritage Director of Cartier.

Having learned about geometry, perspective and representation of materials in the first volume, this second book in this two-part series - Jewellery Illustration and Design - delves deeper into the process of designing jewelry, from the first sketch to the final representation, with special emphasis on how to work on ideas, plan a collection, and design and depict a wide variety of pieces. The fundamentals of drawing different pieces, such as necklaces, rings, earrings, and bracelets, are carefully explained and illustrated in the book, which includes all the technical details to be taken into consideration when planning a jewelry piece, from the executive point of view. While the first volume focused on the tools needed to be able to accurately convey ideas, draw different materials, facets and effects, and master the use of color, this publication tackles the process from the initial idea, based in natural or geometrical forms, to the final drawing of the completed piece, including illustration techniques and sources of inspiration, all aspects that will stir up the reader's creativity. It is the ultimate tool and resource for jewelry students and professionals, and even illustrators in search of professional guidelines in freehand drawing and painting techniques when representing jewelry.

Історія світу — тріумфи й трагедії, прориви й розпади — через культові коштовності, які надихали й впливали з самого початку.

Від стародавніх скарбів до королівських весіль, великих пограбувань і червоних килимів, ця книга є приголомшливою, несподіваною та блискучою екскурсією історичними поворотними моментами та драматичною драмою, занурюючись у пристрасті й уподобання деяких із найцікавіших і незвичайних людей світу.

Починаючи з епохи Клеопатри й закінчуючи сучасними ювелірними висловлюваннями Дженніфер Лопес, Леді Гаги та Меган Маркл, Стеллен Воландес розповідає історії про те, як блискуче каміння та дорогоцінні метали визначали імперії, надихали експедиції та великі злочини, а також були комунікатором статусу та руїни з давніх часів. Кожен момент поміщається в історичний і актуальний контекст, а Воландес проводить захоплюючі паралелі між подарунком Наполеона Марії-Луїзі під час народження їхнього сина та сучасним подарунком або безтурботною історією, що стоїть за брошкою, яку Джекі Кеннеді надягла на державну вечерю з шахом Ірану в 1962 році. Ілюстрована поєднанням архівних зображень і чудових фотографій коштовностей, ця книга є гарним, інформативним і незамінним прочитанням для любителів історії, моди, знаменитостей і поп-культури, а також пристрасних любителів коштовностей.

The iconic fashion designer offers unprecedented access into her career and personal history with this once-in-a-lifetime publishing event.

The complete, official retrospective, designed by Irma Boom — one of the world's leading book designers — in close collaboration with Jil Sander herself, is packed with special features, that will make it a highly coveted collectors' item.

For decades the name Jil Sander has evoked the philosophy of less is more — a minimalist aesthetic using highest quality materials and employing exquisite craftsmanship to the effect of poetic purity. Designed and produced as impeccably as her clothing, this beautiful book offers unprecedented access into Sander’s remarkable history as a designer, and international businesswoman.

Rich in archival material, and glimpses into the life of its famously publicity-shy subject, this book tells how Sander started in the 1960s and quickly established herself as a discriminating designer unfazed by trends. When the world finally caught up to her brand, in the late 80s and 90s, the Sander name became one of the most prestigious in all of fashion.

Adhering to her core principles was the key to success with her own label. The book recapitulates her foray into the world of cosmetics and her later partnership with Uniqlo, where she created the special line +J. A further focus is given to her cooperation with leading architects on the architecture and interior design of her multinational flagship stores. Every aspect of Sander’s career is interwoven in this fascinating story. The result is an elegant manifestation of the Jil Sander name — a story of integrity and grit, sumptuously packaged and timeless.
