From the jacket--Faberge, Lalique, Cartier, Fouquet, Tiffany, Boucheron, Bulgari. These names evoke images of brilliant diamonds, rubies, and emeralds; of glistening pearls and shimmering gold, silver, and platinum; of rich, elegant women; and of luxury and exquisite taste. [...] The superb ilustrations in this book faithfully reproduce these remarkable creatons, the gems cut and polished in every conceivable fashion, the colorful enamels rendered translucent, opaque, or as clear as stained-glass windows. Fifteen chapters, written by leading experts in the field, discuss the social, aesthetic, and even the business aspects of fine jewelry from around 1850 to our own time.
