Fred Samuel, founder of the illustrious Fred Joaillier, was a master of colored stones who seduced his clients with the stylish lifestyle of the French Riviera at its peak. Born in Buenos Aires in 1908, he was the son of a French jeweler who had immigrated to Argentina. Paris provided the backdrop for Samuel’s career and the opening of his first jewelry shop in 1936, focusing on brightly hued stones such as the extraordinary Golden Sun, a 105-carat yellow diamond. The jeweler became famous for bringing original drawings by Jean Cocteau to glittering life; news of these creations spread, and royals from Nepal began asking him for pieces to match their clothing. Samuel’s oldest son further diversified the jewelry line, fashioning a gift for his wife of braided marine cables secured to a buckle, which became the prototype for the brand’s signature Force 10 collection.

Liber Amicorum centres around the historian to which it is dedicated, Diana Scarisbrick. The work of the twenty contributors owes much to her own pioneering research in the feeled of jewellery history. The book opens with a brief biographical summary of Scarisbrick’s life before exploring her assiduous work in the field of jewellery history. A subsequent bibliography of Scarisbrick’s career work is provided which includes articles, interviews, and books published from 1970 to the present day, and serves as evidence of her eminence. The work as a whole functions as a ‘small token of appreciation for all that she has contributed to the world of jewellery history’. The essays in this publication cover topics that range from Roman jewellery to the contemporary production of jewellery. Not constrained by a focus on one particular time period, these essays are indicative of the breadth of influence that Diana Scarisbrick’s career has had. Contributions cover several different themes: amongst the objects discussed are gems, rings, chalices, bindings and crown jewels. The themes covered include jewel theft, methods of jewellery production, and the collections of individuals. Throughout each essay the insightful historical research of the contributors is beautifully supported by high quality illustrations. These bring the book to life, highlighting the splendour and fragility of some of the objects that are dicussed.
