Francesca Cartier Brickell, Marie-Anne de Béru
Les Arènes Editions, 2022
L'Incroyable histoire de trois frères qui ont transformé une humble
bijouterie parisienne en un empire mondial du luxe. Fondée en 1847, la maison Cartier est à l'origine une humble bijouterie artisanale. Au tournant du XXe siècle, les trois petits-fils du fondateur reprennent l'entreprise avec pour devise : " Ne jamais copier, toujours créer. " Leur rêve : conquérir le monde grâce à leurs talents complémentaires. Louis, l'aîné, créateur de génie et esprit rebelle, reprend la boutique du 13, rue de la Paix à Paris. Pierre, le cadet, a le sens du commerce et est entrepreneur dans l'âme : il s'installe sur la Ve Avenue à New York. Jacques, le benjamin, le globe-trotter de la fratrie, prend ses quartiers à Londres, au plus près de la cour de l'Empire britannique. Ses connaissances en gemmologie permettent d'accéder aux meilleurs rubis, émeraudes et saphirs du monde. Ensemble, les trois frères donnent naissance au " style Cartier " : un subtil mélange de classique et de moderne, une fabrication hors pair, une élégance intemporelle et une légèreté toute parisienne. Francesca Cartier Brickell a parcouru le monde entier à la recherche de l'histoire de sa famille, ses drames, ses passions, ses intrigues et ses trahisons. Cette saga riche d'archives inédites nous plonge dans l'histoire des bijoux les plus emblématiques et de celles et ceux qui les ont portés. Un livre déjà best-seller en langue anglaise.

Fabergé - Romance to Revolution
Kieran Mccarthy, Hanne Faurby
Abrams & Chronicle Books, 2022
The name Fabergé has long been a byword for luxury. Combining an entrepreneurial vision for craftsmanship with innovative material sourcing and technical ability, Carl Fabergé created an astonishing array of bespoke jewelled and enamelled objects at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. This beautifully illustrated book explores the history and legacy of the House of Fabergé, from its origins in Russia – and its role in the glamorous world of the Romanovs – to global recognition. Much of the story is familiar, but less well known is the important part played by the London branch. Opened in 1903, and the only one outside Russia, it became a choice destination for Edwardian high society and an international clientele. Featuring over 120 pieces, from delicate flowers to Imperial Easter eggs, and with contributions from leading experts Fabergé: Romance to Revolution celebrates the enduring fascination with this master craftsman’s works.

Esther Brinkmann
Arnoldsche, 2022
The work of Esther Brinkmann is characterised by the meaning she bestows on the ring, its relationship to the hand and, perhaps most surprisingly, to its case. The Swiss artist prefers processed and textured materials, which now also include new component forms, techniques, and substances since her time living in China and India.
She established a further education training program in jewellery design - a unique undertaking in Switzerland - at the Haute Ecole d'Art et de Design (HEAD) in Geneva. Here, her knowledge and autonomy in her work have already shaped several other artistic careers.
This publication presents Esther Brinkman's oeuvre from the past 30 years and highlights for the first time the remarkable strength and the freedom that distinguish the artist's rich career.
