Product Description

This sensational design book showcases Americas most gorgeous and inventive art jewellery! For over a decade, the elite invitation-only American Jewelry Design Council (AJDC) has sponsored an annual project: every member creates an original piece based on a given theme. With imagination and skill, jewellers have tackled such concepts as the Mona Lisa, Wheel, Key, Puzzle, Water, Flight, Peekaboo, Sphere, Pyramid, and Secret Treasure. Each of these topics now becomes a dramatically photographed chapter, complete with illuminating introductions by renowned jewellery writers Cindy Edelstein and Frank Stankus. In addition to background information on the AJDC, and the story of the annual design event, artists commentaries enhance specific images. A final members section includes a biography, headshot and additional jewellery images for each talented individual.

Nice to look at, but that's it.
Bought this book with hope of a bit of inspiration. Not so, more of a coffee table type book than anything else, pretty to look at but not much else.Would only recomend for that use, otherwise a bit of a disappointment for me.
