Sapphire is the third and final instalment in Thames & Hudson's
showstopping series on coloured gemstones, created by Violette
Editions. A feast for all the senses, the book features page after
page of exquisite sapphire jewels and artefacts from the 4th
century BC to the present day, interspersed with text exploring the
history of this beautiful gemstone and its enduring popularity with
style icons, past and present. Joanna Hardy, the highly regarded
jewelry and gemstone expert, reviews the sapphire's history with
captivating stories told in a succinct exhilarating style. She
takes the reader on a journey from early trade along the Silk Route
and the creation of medieval talismans, to the jewelry collections
of the great royal houses of Europe and the finest designers at
work today. Along the way, she showcases spectacular jewels worn by
many notable figures, including Elizabeth Taylor, Queen Elizabeth
II and the Duchess of Windsor, as well as pieces by such iconic
jewelry houses as Cartier, Bulgari, Van Cleef & Arpels, Chaumet
and Tiffany. A selection of work by 21st-century jewelry designers
such as Shaun Leane, Hemmerle, Lauren Adriana, Bina Goenka and Mish
is featured. There is also an exclusive insight into six major
private collections, including previously unpublished pieces. With
its rich, royal-blue silk cover and gold-foil blocking, Sapphire is
a beautiful addition to any gem-lover's library.
