Overlooked Gem

It's disapointing when a book with this much insight gets overlooked by those shopping for a good book on contemporary jewelry. This is one of the few books written on the subject that actually explains what the contemporary jewelry genre is all about. Unfortunately, becuase the subject matter is a little intimidating or unfamiliar for a lot of the public, it gets passed over. No other book on the subject has as much insight, or as creative and accurate vocabulary to describe such a unique art jewelry movement. You will also be hard pressed to find photos of this same work included in any other collection of modern jewelry. Truly unique in many ways.
