Product Description

Wedding rings symbolise commitment and eternal love - but in the hands of the worlds most creative jewellers they become works of art in endlessly intriguing ways. This breathtaking book, which showcases a stunning collection of contemporary, handmade wedding bands and engagement rings for men and women, shows just how far their imaginations can go. Masterfully set diamonds stand alongside conceptual designs that reflect a cutting-edge approach, such as Etienne Perrets ring made for two fingers. The large gems in James Kayas sleek platinum setting, by contrast, seem almost suspended in air; its the tension of the surrounding metal that holds them in place. For jewellers in search of new ideas and those about to whisper I do, these designs provide beautiful inspiration.

beautiful
I have most of the lark jewellery series they have done - 1000 rings, 500 necklaces, 500 earrings etc. I don't have 500 bracelets because it wasn't up to standard and I haven't yet seen 500 brooches.
Anyway, this addition to the series is a success! Its a gorgeous book of rings, some more matrimonial than others, but all stunning. I think that there is a higher "wearability" factor with this rings book too. In 1000 rings, which was one of my fave's, the rings where whacky and some outlandish but still brilliant and inspiring. This book has a different class of ring. I still need to page through it and absorb them all but its very very inspiring for jewellers or collectors etc. This is a beautiful collection with many styles to see. As with all these coffee table types books lark have done, it is not a project book. Its a gathering of amazing work presented as a gallery - so is good as inspiration etc. Brilliant, I'm very pleased with this one. There is probably a lot more in this book that can really be worn by people. Some have commented that it doesn't really seem like a collection of "wedding" rings, as the title implies - but I think it is. There are some that would be more quirky, but this definately broadens the wedding band or engagement ring spectrum! I can see these as wedding rings or normal beautiful rings - whichever you prefer! If you like any of the other lark 500 books, I feel that you will really like this one.

Great
Worth getting, good value for money. A varied, contemporary compendium of high quality images, of high quality work.
