With the promise of eternity, jewels bestow gifts of adornment and beauty on those who wear them. Their value is multifaceted: intrinsic, sentimental, magical, human. Since the dawn of time, these few grams of precious metals and gems have acted as distillations of the highest sentiments and catalysts of the lowest passions.
Through its power and grandeur, jewelry has mirrored the human journey through the centuries, and French author and editor Fabienne Reybaud walks readers through all its facets while highlighting the world's most mythical stones and magnificent pieces, from the Hope Diamond to Elizabeth Taylor's La Peregrina pearl.
Extensively illustrated with atelier images, original sketches and colorful photography, this volume covers everything jewelry enthusiasts need to know, including the club of five and the four Cs. It is accompanied by an essential glossary, the best museum collections to visit around the world as well as the budding designers to follow and a buyer's guide to investing in antique and vintage pieces. -

In the early 2000s, the jeweler's renown, among connois- seurs, was inversely proportional to its potential for develop- ment. Richemont's acquisition of Van Cleef & Arpels in 2000 would give the Maison wings, wings that took it into the twenty- first century.

et rend de plus en plus difficile le
choix des amateurs.
Conçu pour aider le néophyte et
l'amateur, cet ouvrage propose une
présentation claire de l'offre des
grandes marques contemporaines.
Un glossaire efficace, des avis
d'expert et un tableau des cotes
actuelles complètent ce guide
incontournable, réalisé par une
spécialiste de l'horlogerie.
