"Understanding Jewellery is a love letter to glorious pieces from
the last hundred years." -M. J. Rose, The Adventurine "An enjoyably
scholarly romp through the past and a feast for the eyes for the
novice and the consummate jewelry fan and collector."-Beth
Bernstein, Forbes "A must-have coffee table book for jewellery
aficionados..." -Elisa Vallata, Departures International "As with
stocks, education is the way to begin. There are many excellent
books on the jewelry market, but start with Understanding
Jewellery, the industry bible by two former Sotheby's jewelry
executives, David Bennett and Daniela Mascetti." -Bloomberg
Understanding Jewellery, by authors David Bennett and Daniela
Mascetti, is often described as the must-have jewellery book of our
time - a 'Bible' in the jewellery trade. First published in 1989,
it has remained in print ever since, amassing a loyal following of
devotees who admire its detailed information and stunning imagery.
In this new work, Bennett and Mascetti have taken the original
concept of Understanding Jewellery a stage further. Now, with the
benefit of 20 years of hindsight, they have concentrated on the
20th century alone by conducting a detailed survey of each decade,
identifying the key players, trends and movements. The book is an
encyclopedic history of the various forms, techniques and materials
employed by the companies and individuals who defined jewellery in
the 20th century. Most significantly, this book includes a new set
of photographs, which make Understanding Jewellery: The Twentieth
Century one of the most dazzling, absorbing and varied collections
of jewellery images ever assembled in a book. This large format
hardback volume is a perfect gift for all lovers of jewellery and
the definitive guide for those who desire a deeper understanding of
the subject.
