Melanie GrantCoveted: Art and Innovation in High Jewelry

This is a fantastic book filled with utterly inspiring work from jewellers across the globe. It is extremely original and beautifully written- split into themed chapters which question whether jewellery is art and explore jewellery in its most conceptual form. I would highly recommend this to any lover of jewellery, art or design.

I bought this book blind as I wasn't able to check it out from my local library first. I am very happy I did so as it has opened my eyes to many new jewelers / designers that I did not know about. The photographs are clear and large enough to see each prong of the settings, each facet junction on the gems, and any polish lines. I also read it cover to cover and think that the writers have presented their opinions and ideas very well about each jeweler that was included in this book. I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves jewelry and wants more than just a photographic eye candy to drool over. I already have a very large collection of jewelry books, how many more do I need? This is one that I am very happy to add to my library of Jewelry and Gemological books as it has new information and beautiful jewelry photos to desire.

Ce livre est une jolie découverte. Les photos sont magnifiques mais le texte est aussi intéressant, rédigé par une passionnée qui connait bien son sujet. Toutes les marques à connaître sont présentées, connues ou moins connues. Attention, pas de version française.

Producto editorial muy preciso.

Luscious photos and the history of jewelry throughout human history illuminated by an educated Economist writer of style and culture. It features the most creative and talented artists of jewelry around the world including Town and Country’s awarded sustainable jeweler Monique Péan.
