Vendôme, 2012
Inspired by Chinese art and lore, Western art and music, and the natural world, Anna Hu’s one-of-a-kind pieces have catapulted her to the top of the jewelry firmament in a few short years. This volume celebrates the completion of her first 100 works, or “Opus 1,” as she calls the collection. Exploring the relationship between her jewelry and fashion as well as the remarkable gems that inspired her work, this large-format book focuses on the pieces themselves, exquisitely photographed by master jewelry photographer David Behl. Some are as intricate as Chinese embroidery, others as ethereal as butterflies, and still others are jeweled reinterpretations of timeless works of music and art, from Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata and Puccini’s Turandot to Monet’s Water Lilies.

Upon the stone’s discovery, the Maasai entrusted a specimen to the stonecutter Manuel de Souza, who shared some samples with distinguished gemmologists. While the prospector thought that he had found some sapphires, he was astonished to learn that he had unearthed something altogether extraordinary. The new gem immediately caught the eye of Tiffany & Co. Since 1968, the New York-based jeweler has pushed the stone into the spotlight. It launched a campaign that was successful enough to earn tanzanite the noble title of gem of the 20th century.
Tanzanite gained further renown when in 2002 the American Gem Trade Association (AGTA) named tanzanite, together with turquoise, the birthstones for December. Tanzanite’s transformations have ultimately placed it alongside the most precious of precious gems. In short, tanzanite’s age of glory has finally dawned. Tanzanite takes the Place Vendôme by storm…at long last! Lorenz Bäumer is one of tanzanite’s leading lovers and has been incorporating the stone in his creations for a number of years. Needless to say, tanzanite’s allure has attracted the attention of a list of other famous designers.
Tanzanite, born from lightning showcases hundreds of beautiful pieces of tanzanite jewelry, including superb creations made by Giampiero Bodino, Boucheron, Bulgari, Cartier, Wallace Chan, Chanel, Chaumet, Chopard, Roberto Coin, Dior, Ruth Grieco, de Grisogono, Jewelry Theatre, Piaget, Philippe Tournaire, Van Cleef & Arpels, Louis Vuitton, Stephen Webster and more.
