Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. An entirely new approach to jewellery making, this book teaches you how to create dramatic, eye-catching wire and bead jewellery using newly developed techniques, including crocheting with wire and using pre-knitted wires. There is now a huge range of wires widely available to the crafter, from brightly coloured wires originally used in science and technology, to silver-plated, enamel-coated and copper wire. When partnered with gleaming gemstones, miniature seed beads, shimmering crystals and rich fire-polished beads, these humble wires become a work of art, and a highly covetable piece of unique jewellery. This book provides 35 projects and variations, all illustrated with step-by-step photography and clear instructions, plus beautiful, close-up photographs of the finished pieces. The projects range from the subtle and sophisticated (such as delicate crystal and wire bracelets, an Egyptian style necklace, brooches of twisted wire, and a pearl studded choker) to fun, informal pieces (such as coiled wire earrings in brightly coloured wire, bejewelled barrettes and combs, a cocktail ring, and hand-made felt beads strung together to make a necklace). There are projects you will want to make for special occasions, such as a stunning tiara that would be perfect for a bride, and a crystal and pearl evening choker. There are also sections on the tools and materials that you will need to get started, plus a comprehensive basic techniques chapter. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Size: 305 mm x 240 mm. Pages: 352. Illustrations: 250 colour. Hardback with dustjacket. ISBN 9783897904651. The fascinating history of gemstones in art and jewellery Gemstones have always been, since time immemorial, heavily charged with meaning and have even been regarded as magical objects. For that reason they have also been an art medium since the early modern age and have shaped as art symbols - in the form of the crystal - both Romanticism and Modernism, for example in the works of Caspar David Friedrich, Lyonel Feininger and many more. In the latter half of the twentieth century, not only have such artists as Bernd Munsteiner, Ute Eitzenhofer and Bernhard Schobinger rediscovered the gemstone; through the Hochschule fur Edelstein und Schmuck Trier/Idar-Oberstein and other similar specialist institutions it is also undergoing a revival in today's art production - right up to Damien Hirst.

hardcover. Zustand: Gebraucht. Gebraucht - Sehr gut Leichte Lagerspuren -Jewelry, long associated with luxury, is also becoming a medium for social responsibility and ethical values. Kyle Roderick, an authority on ethical jewelry, profiles fifteen designers who are at the forefront of refashioning the medium for today's consumers.In the wake of Charles Leavitt's insightful 2006 movie Blood Diamond, which told how conflict diamonds fund civil wars, the buying and wearing of ethically sourced and sustainably mined jewelry has become a priority in today's luxury market. Bejeweled is the first book to cover this timely subject. Profiling leading international designers who are at the forefront of the ethical jewelry movement, this beautifully photographed publication examines how an ancient art is powering a green revolution in chic jewelry for everyone.Included are renowned designers such as Pippa Small, an early user of fair-mined gold, who employs local artisans to fabricate her one-of-a-kind pieces; Dewey Nelson, a Native American Hopi who incorporates 1,000-year-old tribal motifs in his reclaimed-silver pieces; and Loren Nicole, whose jewelry features intricate hand-carved gemstones and 22-karat gold alloyed in the same formula used by ancient Roman goldsmiths. Illustrated with exquisite photographs of individual pieces, featured both alone and on celebrities, who are turning the red carpet 'green' by wearing ethically sourced jewelry, Bejeweled is for all gemstone and design fans. 224 pp. Englisch.

Hardback with dusjacket in full color, 688 pages, Format: 325mm x 245mm, Over 400 colour photographs, very fine printed ! ISBN 9780711232525. This book explores the visual evolution of the legendary connoisseur and philanthropist Roberto Polo through a selection of over three hundred masterpieces and magnificent gemstones from the extraordinary collections which he has formed. At an early age, Roberto Polo revealed a powerful talent as a visual artist, exhibiting his work in major art museums and galleries. Thanks to his profound knowledge of art history and theory, he also revealed an astonishing talent for identifying exceptional art and gemstones from many periods and origins. Roberto Polo was educated at the Corcoran School of Art, where he was appointed professor at the precocious age of sixteen, and at Columbia University. At the age of twenty-four, he conceived and organized the now landmark exhibition Fashion as Fantasy, featuring works especially created by fifty-four exhibitors, including David Hockney, Robert Motherwell and Andy Warhol. Roberto Polo was instrumental in founding Citibank?s Fine Art Investment Services, the first department of its kind in the banking industry. In 1981, he left Citibank and became an independent art and gemstone investment advisor. During this period, he formed collections of French eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth-century fine and decorative arts, as well as of gemstones, described by Le Journal des Arts as ?anthological? In 1988, the French Republic bestowed on him the medal of Commandeur de l?ordre des Arts et de Lettres for his contributions to French art and culture.In the same year, he became the victim of a Kafkaesque judicial affair from which he rose in 1995, according to The New York Times , as ?the wonderful phoenix of the art market?, now championing Historical Design and Modernism independently and through Galerie Historismus. Described by Le Figaro as ?The Eye? and by Architectural Digest as ?The Trendsetter of the Art Market?, Roberto Polo continues to follow his edict that one should only acquire art which was revolutionary in its time.Exquisitely illustrated with over four hundred colour photographs, and with texts by leading art and jewellery historians, this book is a fascinating insight into the man described by Art & Auction , as ?one of the ten people who have made a difference in the art market? and an illuminating account of his forty years of collecting activity. 0 g.
