Art Deco Jewelry

Laurence Mouillefarine, Evelyne Possémé

Art Deco Jewelry displays through sumptuous illustrations, coupled with a lucid and informative text, the creations of the Haute Joaillerie (the establishment jewelers such as Cartier, Van Cleef et Arpels, Mauboissin and Chaumet) and of the avant-garde designers: Jean Fouquet, Raymond Templier, Gérard Sandoz, Jean Dunand and Paul Brandt, to whom we owe some of the most daring and brilliant creations of the period. Alongside the jewelry, there is also an exquisite range of accessories: dainty vanity cases fashioned with the maximum of detail in the minimum of space; boxes, cigar and cigarette cases; and a spectacular array of clocks.

With the addition of succinct biographies of the most innovative and influential jewelers of the day, a select bibliography and a glossary, this is a book that will prove essential to the connoisseur and delightful to all lovers of craftsmanship.
