This book is born from the realization that there aren’t any publications for the general public which present the crafts of jewelry. Even though these crafts bring together exceptional and prestigious expertise, they are still insufficiently known.
Beautifully illustrated with photographs from major jewelry houses, this book showcases the diversity, the demanding and technical nature, but also the beauty of the different gestures which are combined in order to achieve the most precious and daring creations. Thanks to the iconographic choices which highlight the work of craftsmen and their virtuosity, this book allows for the discovery of the crafts of jewelry and is an invitation to wonder.
No less than ten professions are involved in the creation of a piece of jewelry. The object, a collective work, goes from hand to hand, drawing on a wide range of know-how that belongs to the age-old traditions of these trades.
