21st Century Jewellery Designers: An Inspired Style

This is an absolutely gorgeous book in the quality of the photography, the graphic design, and the sumptuous pieces included that make anyone who loves jewelry want to swoon. You should seriously consider adding it your library. Association for the Study of Jewelry and Related Arts, October 2013 A wonderful look at the high-end contemporary jewelers creating pieces today. In contrast to most of the compendium books on contemporary jewelers, this volume focuses on those using top-quality gemstones and metals such as Michelle Ong, Hemmerle, and Wallance Chan, whose dynamic ring is on the cover. These are the potential Cartiers, Fouquets, and Laliques of the future and it is well worth becoming familiar with their work. – Sarah Davis American Society of Jewelry Historians Newsletter, Winter 2013 This remarkably illustrated coffee table book prominently displays more than 540 jewelry pieces from 25 of today’s important designers…this luxurious book provides a great source of inspiration for all jewelry scholars, collectors, and professionals at large for envisioning the future trends of the industry. The quality of the photos is an exceptional asset to that end. – Delphine Leblanc Gemological Institute of America, January 2014
