This glorious publication features examples of distinctive jewellery design as superlative works of art. The pieces range from the mid-nineteenth century, when the ideas of the romantic movement informed jewellery design, over Historicism in the latter half of the century and the extravagant jewels created by Art Nouveau and Jugenstil artists to the astringent forms of Art Deco and New Objectivity. These one-of-a-kind works of art are accompanied by typical contemporary examples of industrially produced jewellery. The superb creations of Jules Wièse and Froment-Meurice are presented together with historic jewellery from the house of Castellani and Falize as well as jewellery by Ernesto Rinzi and Carlo Giuliano. The period before and after 1900 is represented by gems created by René Lalique and Georges Fouquet, Vever, Gautrait and Gaillard, Lukas Wilhelm von Cranach and Georg Kleeman, Wiener Werkstätten and exponents of the English Arts and Crafts movement. Art jewellery of the 1920s and 1930s is documented by the masterly works of Jean Fouquet, René Boivin, Jean Després, Johann Michael Wilm, Elisabeth Treskow, Theodor Wende and George Hunt amongst others. The remarkable jewellery made by the 'artist-industrialist' Theodor Fahrner is considered here along with the jewellery industrially produced in Pforzheim by the firm of F. Zerrenner.
