For more than 40 years, Parisian jeweller Lydia Courteille has been
confounding the Place Vendome jewellery houses with her bold and
brazen designs. Her unique and avant-garde style is legendary. Her
collections spark the senses. In this impassioned new biography,
Juliet Weir-de la Rochefoucauld takes us on a voyage around the
world, sharing the stunning locations and famous women from whom
Courteille draws inspiration. In the disposable world of 21st
century consumerism, amidst the monotony of marketing algorithms
and ceaseless production lines, Lydia Courteille has forged her own
creative path, refusing to let the individuality of her work slip
from her fingers. Her jewels crystalise memories, honour the dead,
make powerful social statements, poke fun at modern absurdities,
and transport us to the other side of the planet. Guided by an
acclaimed author and jewellery expert, this colourful monograph
renders her odysseys of creation and discovery in stunning visual
detail.
