“Bringing together the most remarkable pieces of the 20th century” - Harpers Bazaar India

In this magnificent collection of the most spectacular jewels of the 20th century, fine jewelry historian Vivienne Becker selects the quintessential jewels that represent the milestones of jewelry design of the last hundred years. From Art Nouveau to the brink of the new millennium, Vivienne Becker's selections range from the Wiener Werkstätte and Tiffany studios, to Egyptian-inspired Art Deco masterpieces from Cartier and mid-century designs from Verdura for Chanel, from exquisite designs by DeBeers, Van Cleef & Arpels and Graff, to modern creations from a new generation of innovative artists. A new addition to the Assouline Ultimate Collection, this beautiful volume is a must-have for fine jewelry collectors and lovers of precious objects. Sparkling with stunning photography, this deluxe, hand-bound limited edition features cutting-edge images and is housed in a linen clamshell slipcase.
