I love the Art Nouveau Period and this book covers the entire history of jewellery on all continents. This is the first time I have found such a comprehensive book on the subject of jewellery in that time ! The pictures are great and a lot of research has gone into the book making it extremely worth while for lovers of jewellery and Art Nouveau

i wanted to know more about art nouveau jewelry and this book really helped me for that purpose.
it has lots of pictures and info about whatever there is to know and see.
the only dissapointment was that majority of the pics are in black and white. You miss out on all the enameling work colors..
also i expected to see more from lalique.
overall though its a good book for starters.

I pondered over purchasing this book for probably two years. This was due mainly to the fact that there was no way to really view the content of this publication. Frankly, the authors offering of an inside look of their book was ridiculous. Show me some pictures!!! I really hate to purchase something that I can't see! Finally, I bit the bullet and purchased Art Nouveau Jewelry. I was stunned by the volume of beautiful color pictures. This book turned out to be just what I was looking for, basically a pictorial presentation of jewelry from that era. I search constantly for any reference material that I can find on this subject (Art Nouveau era jewelry) and this book is one of the best that I have found. So if you are a jewelry designer like myself and are always looking for inspiration, this is an excellent book for your collection.

A very good book about this period, no other one has covered the subject as this one.

A good book for the price. Black and white images should not deter anybody from buying this book. Knowledge does not always come in color.

This book covers the specific influences of various European countries and the US in jewelry design during the Art Nouveau period. It covers the designers and their pieces with spectacular photographs of pieces that will knock your socks off. It is a fabulous reference book, but also one that you can curl up with on a rainy day and sip cocoa. Handy guides to identification - makers marks and signatures. Prepare to be wowed.

This book far exceeded my expectations for the price! The only minor criticism I have is that I wish ALL the photographs had been in color. A great deal......

This is a gorgeous book with fine high quality photos and great history, but it lacks a price guide which would add greatly to the appeal.

Beautiful book, this book was much more than I expected. The pictures of jewellery and the information contained within was worth every penny.
