Hardcover 320 pages, 470 illustration in color and black-and-white. ISBN 9780500519004. For many centuries, collecting precious jewels was the province of kings and queens, emperors, and maharajas. But in the aftermath of the First World War, royal gems passed into the hands of a different kind of elite that included celebrities and a coterie that reveled in a nouveau riche whirl. Changes in fashion and the rise of Art Deco style led them to reset pieces or commission exquisite contemporary designs. Authors Stefano Papi and Alexandra Rhodes explore this dazzling era via profiles of eleven glamorous women who built up astonishing jewelry collections in the mid-twentieth century. This revised and updated edition includes two new chapters that explore the lives and jewels of Ganna Walska and Helene Rochas. The authors reveal the remarkable stories behind the jewels and their collectors. Not only do they bring to life the worlds in which these women moved, but they also describe the gems in detail and chronicle the work of the leading jewelers of the day, including Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Harry Winston. The book is illustrated with gorgeous close-up photography of the jewels as well as drawings of the original designs, and includes portraits of the collectors by Beaton, Horst, and other leading photographers of the time.

Curioso documento relativo al privilegio esclusivo, concesso per la durata di quindici anni a Domenico Bernardinelli, Benedetto Segoso e a Francesco Gobbi, di servirsi della macchina da loro inventata 'per purgare le terre, e spazzature, che dalla Regia Zecca e dagli Orefici sogliono essere abbandonate'. Una volta recuperati i materiali di scarto provenienti dalla zecca e dalle oreficerie, i tre concessionari avrebbero dovuto portarli alla zecca da cui avrebbero ricevuto il controvalore in denaro.

HB, 310 x 240 mm, 264 p, 300 illustraties Eng/ IT edition. ISBN 9788836648047. Two hundred Italian fashion jewels define the aesthetic mirror of society through the decades, showing the transformation of styles and customs. In Italy, since ancient times, fashion jewellery has been, and still is, an important component of clothing, of which it represents an accessory and a complement. The history of fashion cannot be written without mentioning its jewels. The volume presents two hundred Italian fashion jewels that, spanning from era of La Dolce Vita to the Pret à Porter of the Eighties, from 90s Minimalism to the Neo Baroque of the new millennium, define the aesthetic mirror of society and show the transformation of styles and customs, ambitions and conquests of women, the evolution of shapes and innovations of materials and new technologies. DIVA! Italian Glamor in Fashion Jewellery tells about fashion jewelery in its creative intersections with Italian excellence: craftsmanship, design and fashion. A typically Italian story based on the ability to combine creativity, manufacturing and industry, art and technology, beauty and innovation. The masters of costume jewelery enter a dialogue with the great stylists and the talents of design, three heterogeneous visions with a single great protagonist: the Italian fashion jewel.
