Editorial Reviews

Review

Destined for the shelf of every jewelry dealer and enthusiast as a primary reference work. -- Antique Collector


Product Description

Jewelry was one of the purest, and most successful, expressions of the Art Nouveau movement. It captured the atmosphere and the passion of the fin de sicle, as well as the moral and artistic freedom that characterized the period. Fresh designs and motifs were created with an intense excitement that was shared by artists all over the world. Sensuous animal and plant forms surged with new life; the female form struggled toward a new freedom, suggesting a long-hidden eroticism; and sunsets and changing seasons reflected the symbolic view of art in nature borrowed from the Japanese. This book deals with major jewelers in France--their inspirations, techniques, and themes--and then follows the parallel modern movement that spread through Europe and the United States. With a detailed reference section and a collection of dramatic photographs, this treasury will appeal to collectors and jewelry lovers alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reader in Dallas, December 7, 2000
By A Customer
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

5.0 out of 5 stars For Lovers of Art Nouveau, January 11, 2008
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars complete but dissapointing, November 1, 2006
By GAI Gohari (new york) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Informative Book
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......

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC!!
Beautiful book, this book was much more than I expected. The pictures of jewellery and the information contained within was worth every penny.

4.0 out of 5 stars Art Nouveau Jewelry
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.
