Just released in time for Christmas is The Jewellery Book by Melanie Grant and an ideal and affordable Gift for the gem and decorative jewellery lover. Perfect for the luxury coffee table.
Described as exploring 200 years of fine and high end jewellery design, this is a thick and devouring book, with beautiful photos and informative detail.
It is not your usual jewellery discussion book, but one that let's you travel through the history of this fascinating genre via the lens of introducing designers and the famous who wore and influenced jewellery through the years, some you will think of, some you won't have. Such greats as you would expect like Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren. Bulgari and modern jewellers like Vivianna Torun Bulow-Hube (Swedish), the book allows you to learn a little of the person and the pieces they loved most.
Not wanting to spoil it for you, it really is packed full of wonderful objects and delightful tales and a book you will pick up and browse multiple times.
