'Impossible Collection of Jewelry'

Published by Assouline, this stunning collection of spectacular jewels from the twentieth century presents a visual timeline of the most remarkable milestones in jewellery design over the last 100 years. Authored by fine jewellery historian Vivienne Becker, the included selection covers items from the Wiener Werkstätte and Tiffany Studios, Egyptian-inspired art deco jewellery by Cartier and mid-century designs by Verdura for Chanel. In addition, beautiful creations by DeBeers, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Graff appear alongside more modern designs from a younger generation of innovative artists. Laid out across 144 pages and accompanied by 100 illustrations, this new addition to Assouline’s 'Ultimate Collection' is hand-bound and presented in a linen clamshell case.
