Worn by Greta Garbo, Liz Taylor and Jackie Onassis, Jean Schlumberger's jewels have been called the 20th century's most glamorous. Enamel insect hatpins; a sapphire flower in a real terra-cotta flowerpot; a crucifix in diamonds, amethysts and rubies all are beautifully photographed for The Jewels of Jean Schlumberger, the catalogue for an exhibition at the Mus‚e des Arts D‚coratifs in Paris. Museum curators Marie-No‰l de Gary, Chantal Bizot, Evelyne Poss‚m‚ and H‚lŠne David-Weill, president of the Union Central des Arts D‚coratifs in Paris, give full explications of the 150 illustrations (90 color). The book's release coincides with a touring exhibition sponsored by Tiffany & Co., where the artist worked from 1956 until his retirement in the late 1970s.

Book Description
“Jean Schlumberger created the most glamorous jewels of the 20th century,” John Loring wrote in Abrams’ book Tiffany Jewels.

In Paris in the 1930s, Schlumberger’s inventive designs caught the eye of such influential admirers as famed Vogue editor Diana Vreeland, and by the time he began working exclusively for Tiffany & Co., he was the most celebrated jewelry designer of his day. Over the years his extravagant and exotic designs of animal and flower motifs garnered a devoted following of celebrities, among them Elizabeth Taylor, Greta Garbo, and Jacqueline Onassis. Pieces by Schlumberger are still among the most popular sold at Tiffany & Co. today.
