A new wave of designers and artisans are creating earrings that push the boundaries of jewelry design. Drawing on unique sources of inspiration to incorporate symbol and meaning, they are redefining the earring as more than a mere ornamental piece.

This book showcases innovative work by jewelry designers from around the world, exploring new trends in design and craftsmanship through style, form and concept. The earrings range from the traditional to more complex, cutting-edge pieces.

All the jewelry featured is notable for its exuberance, the choice of materials or its boldness, whether in terms of dimension, colour or composition. Whatever the materials chosen, it is the imaginative design that shines through.

Rings symbolize many things. They can serve as personal statements, adornments, representations of a commitment, or a sentimental reminder. In the hands of the world’s most creative jewelers they transcend into works of art in endlessly intriguing ways.

This marvelously illustrated survey showcases 591 contemporary rings that have been created by nearly 300 international designers. It is divided into five sections — one for each finger. Aside from being purely decorative, the position of the ring on the hand and the way in which it is worn can denote love, promise, rebellion, compromise, or affiliation.

The rings range from more traditional decorative rings to conceptual and abstract pieces. The featured designers employ a wide variety of techniques, and the materials they use include gold, platinum, precious stones, plastic, bones, fiber, wood, shells, plants, and more.

The worlds largest collection of jewellery, art objects, artistic glass and drawings by Rene Lalique. Calouste Gulbenkian (1869-1955), the famous Portuguese collector, was a friend of Rene Lalique for 50 years and a great connoisseur of the various activities of this versatile artist. Between 1899 and 1927 Calouste Gulbenkian acquired 80 extraordinary works of art directly from the artist; these are conserved today in an exclusive space inside the Calouste Gulbenkian museum in Lisbon.

Rings are perhaps the most common and yet the most evocative pieces of jewellery. Worn as a sign of love or as a fashion accessory, to mark weddings, remember the dead, or show religious faith, the unbroken circle, decorated or elegantly unadorned, holds a multitude of meanings for every wearer.

From simple medieval hoops worn to ward off disease to the glamorous rocks worn by Hollywood starlets, to the stunning works of art created by contemporary artist jewellers, this book offers a beautifully illustrated introduction to rings.

Sin and temptation, wisdom and deceit, death and damnation, but also eternity and renewal, protection and healing power - the symbolic meanings of the snake are as manifold as the myths, sagas and legends in which it plays a significant role. The snake led Adam and Eve into temptation in the Garden of Eden, the Uraeus snake was the symbol of the pharaohs in ancient Egypt, the Midgard serpent inhabited the ocean of Germanic mythology, it was the ancient symbol of the art of healing, was worshipped as the snake spirit in India and as a deity in African and Central American cultures.

In all eras and in all cultures, the snake has fascinated humankind and inspired the creation of striking works of art. Serpentina is dedicated for the first time to the whole spectrum of the snake in jewellery, for few artists, jewellers or even the jewellery industry could resist the temptation to incorporate this creature into jewellery design. The examples span everything from Hellenistic snake bangles to the glittering art nouveau creations by Lalique and Fournet, from the luxurious creations by Cartier and Fabergé to the playful objects of contemporary jewellery artists, from snake motifs from Mexico and the golden snakes of the Akan in Ghana to Indian snake jewellery and Japanese snake netsukes. In jewellery the seductive power of the snake is unfailing. Let it put you under its spell!

Sünde und Versuchung, Klugheit und List, Tod und Unheil, aber auch Ewigkeit und Erneuerung, Schutz und Heilkraft – die symbolischen Bedeutungen der Schlange sind so vielfältig wie die Mythen, Sagen und Legenden, in denen sie eine bedeutende Rolle spielt: die Schlange führte Adam und Eva im Paradies in Versuchung, war als Uräusschlange im Alten Ägypten Symbol der Pharaonen, bewohnte als Midgardschlange das Weltmeer der germanischen Mythologie, war in der griechischen Antike Symbol der Heilkunst, wurde als Schlangen-Geist in Indien, als Gottheit in afrikanischen und mittelamerikanischen Kulturen verehrt.

Zu allen Zeiten und in allen Kulturen faszinierte die Schlange den Menschen und inspirierte ihn zu herausragenden Kunstwerken. Die Publikation widmet sich erstmals der gesamten Bandbreite der Schlange im Schmuck, denn kaum ein Künstler, Juwelier oder selbst die Schmuckindustrie konnte der Versuchung widerstehen, diesem Wesen im Schmuck Gestalt zu verleihen. Die Beispiele reichen vom hellenistischen Schlangenarmreif bis zu den glanzvollen Kreationen des Jugendstils von Lalique und Fouquet, von den luxuriösen Kreationen von Cartier und Fabergé bis zu verspielten Objekten zeitgenössischer Schmuckkünstler, von Schlangenmotiven aus Mexiko, den goldenen Schlangen der Akan in Ghana über indischen Schlangenschmuck bis zu den japanischen Schlangen-Netsukes – im Schmuck ist die Verführungskraft der Schlange ungebrochen. Lassen Sie sich in ihren Bann ziehen!

Присвячена творчості одного з найвидатніших дизайнерів ювелірних прикрас 20 століття.

Сюзанна Белперрон була одним із найталановитіших і найвпливовіших дизайнерів ювелірних прикрас 20 століття. Натхненні відкриттям її особистих архівів у 2007 році, автори цієї книги створили перший том, присвячений життю та творчості цього відомого паризького ювеліра. У 1919 році Бельперрон працював модельєром і дизайнером Жермен Буавен. Вона зробила величезний внесок в успіх Maison Rene Boivin, але в 1932 році вирішила покинути компанію. Саме зі своїм колегою Бернардом Герцом, відомим торговцем дорогоцінним камінням і перлами, Белперрон вперше знайшла свободу відмовитися від традиційного дизайну та виробництва ювелірних виробів. Захоплюючись кольоровими каменями, незалежно від їх вартості, вона створювала надзвичайно інноваційні твори, на відміну від стандартних творінь того часу, які були переважно незграбними та оправленими в платину. Її прикраси були настільки оригінальними, що вона ніколи не підписувала свої вироби, натомість наполягаючи на тому, що «мій стиль — це мій підпис». Дійсно, авангардний стиль Бельперрон обожнювався «модниками» її часу.

Її роботи часто з’являлися в Harper's Bazaar і Vogue, а серед її клієнтів були більшість європейських королівських осіб і аристократів, а також банкіри, модельєри, інтелектуали та американські кінозірки. Відомо, що герцог Віндзорський, Ротшильди, Ельза Скіапареллі, Ніна Річчі, Колетт, Малет Стівенс, Ганна Вальска та Гарі Купер часто відвідували паризьку майстерню Бельперрона. Сьогодні Бельперрон часто імітують, і відсутність підпису на її роботах може ускладнити їх ідентифікацію та датування. Тому відкриття її особистих архівів мало величезне значення і зробило цю публікацію важливим довідником для ентузіастів Сюзанни Бельперрон і ювелірних виробів загалом.

Сільві Рауле, випускниця історії, графічний дизайнер і журналіст, співпрацювала з такими журналами, як «Beaux-Arts», «L'Objet d' art», «Harper s Bazaar» і «Vogue». Вона є автором кількох книг: «Bijoux Art Deco» (1984), «Van Cleef & Arpels» (1986, 1997), «Bijoux des annees 1940-1950» (1987), «Salon indien» (1996) і «Cristal de roche» (1999). Рухомий рідкісним ентузіазмом до ювелірних виробів, Олів’є Баруан навчався в Луврі та увійшов у світ професійного мистецтва в 1987 році, коли йому було всього 17 років. У 2001 році він також став спеціалістом із антикварних ювелірних виробів. Зачарований мистецтвом та особистістю Сюзанни Бельперрон, він придбав увесь її особистий архів у 2007 році. Його знання Сюзанни Бельперрон і майже щоденна перевірка її книги замовлень дозволяють йому без двозначності відстежувати її оригінальні роботи, деякі з яких помилково приписували іншим ювелірам, а також виключати вироби, які досі помилково вважалися створеними нею.

An essay by AmandaTriossi provides a deeper look at Bulgari—its founding, history,designers, and innovations. Section introductions for the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s illuminate the trends in jewelry design for each decade, in addition to a chapter dedicated to the legendary Elizabeth Taylor collection.

This is a creative guide to designing jewellery, written by experienced jewellery maker, Liz Olver. In this book she gives comprehensive details on the essential stages of the design process - from working out the brief and seeking inspiration to working with technical drawings and developing the idea further as the piece evolves. Case studies, real-life projects and tips provide professional advice and encouragement. The book is written and illustrated in a clear cut and easily accessible style.

Many of the most beautiful costume jewelry pieces made since the 1940s are presented with full color photographs.

The jewelry of such well-known manufacturers as Boucher, Coro, Christian Dior, Grosse, Jomaz, Kramer of New York, Mitchell Maer, Trifari, and many others are displayed with newly revised prices. The book portrays the affordable opulence and sheer beauty of costume jewelry.
