Collective, under the direction of Guillaume Glorieux
A polysemic object by nature, the jewel well embodies many preconceived notions: precious, feminine, a reflection of a personal story or a political emblem, religious attribute or paragon of frivolity… Well beyond the artifice of appearances, the jewel is at once universal and the incarnation of a culture and stereotypes linked to it. The authors analyze the very roots of these prejudices in this book, linking all facets of the jewel, of its history, materials and savoir-faire which allowed its creation. Enriched with illustrations, it constitutes an original introduction to the universe of jewelry.
A polysemic object par excellence, not a single culture, human group escapes it. In this, according to its interpretation, it is often the subject of many preconceived notions.
