About this product

Product Information

For more than a century, the designs of the French jewelry house Van Cleef & Arpels have represented the marriage of an unrivalled sense of elegance with an extraordinary level of technical expertise and prowess. The comprehensive monograph Van Cleef & Arpels: The Art & Science of Gems is a glittering, gorgeous tribute to a century of luxurious, glamorous jewelry design and incomparable mastery of materials. Lavishly illustrated with meticulous photographs by Patrick Gries, the book's pages are filled with sparkling chalcedony, cornelian, rubies, emeralds and coloured diamonds, beautifully set off and enhanced by the jeweler's designs (at alternate moments whimsical or understated, as the materials demand). Suggesting the complexity and richness of Van Cleef & Arpels' output, the book is organized thematically around categories such as 'Abstractions', 'Couture', 'Nature' and 'Icons', and additionally features some of the legendary stones from the annals of the house's history, such as the 'Blue Princess' sapphire and the 'Walska Briolette Diamond' brooch. Texts by art historians, personalities from the fashion world and mineralogists offer context and highlight the full extent of the jeweler's art. Essential for those who love and lust after jewelry design, this eminently covetable volume celebrates the Van Cleef & Arpels style.

puts a spotlight on the raw materials used by the Maison's artisans as well as on the final innovative designs, showcasing the intersection between the art of jewelry making and the science of mineralogy., Page upon sumptuous page of historical jewels.... Among the most wondrous are the objet designs of the early 20th century - a carved jade pillbox, gold champagne swizzle, and a quartz and onyx nightlight among them.

Fantastic seller to deal with. Kept me informed and were super helpful and friendly. Provided tracking information so I could see where my order was and when to expect delivery. Considering that it had to come from the States, it arrived here in the UK very quickly. Very well packaged and exactly as described, I’m delighted with my dvd. Thank you so very much for your 5* service 😊
