Norma, 2023
Le bijou occupe une place centrale dans l’évolution profonde que connaît l’esthétique à partir des années 1880. Loin d’être le simple reflet d’une histoire de l’art qui s’écrit ailleurs – dans les domaines « majeurs » de la peinture, de la sculpture ou de l’architecture –, il participe au renouvellement radical d’un imaginaire fécondé par l’élargissement des connaissances scientifiques et par leur diffusion dans une culture visuelle amplement partagée.
La réflexion sur la représentation de la vie, des forces qui l’animent et des principes qui en déterminent la construction prend un sens original pour des artistes, des artisans et des fabricants dont le premier ressort de la création est la matière : une matière changeante et malléable qui suggère les flux dynamiques, mais aussi une matière formidablement résistante, somptueuse et fantasmagorique.
Réceptifs aux inspirations historicistes, engagés dans les recherches symbolistes et dans l’Art nouveau, puis sensibles au nouvel ordre décoratif, les grands noms des Falize, Boucheron, Vever ou Fouquet côtoient ceux d’artistes tels que René Lalique, Eugène Grasset, Alphonse Mucha, Henry Nocq, Jules Desbois ou Édouard Monod-Herzen dans une même volonté de placer le bijou au cœur de l’invention des formes.
Accompagné d’un glossaire des matériaux et des techniques et d’une ample bibliographie, cet ouvrage permet de comprendre l’extraordinaire essor de l’art de la bijouterie et de la joaillerie en France entre 1880 et 1914.

Nicolás Estrada
Hoaki, 2022
With a selection of over 400 jewelry artists' creations from all over the world, this volume is the most comprehensive compilation on this subject and an important step in Nicolás Estrada's exploration of current trends in contemporary jewellery. A must-have for any professional or student of jewelry or fashion design, this work shows the versatile and dynamic nature of brooches and the many and varied materials and forms that they involve. Needing only a pin to secure it to the wearer's garment, this ornament is essentially a jewelry artist's blank canvas that invites endless creativity and offers more freedom of expression than any other form of jewelry. The brooch has continued to evolve and be reinterpreted over time, and it is playing a critical role in the development of new jewelry as a platform for artistic expression. Following the success of Estrada's New Rings, New Earrings, New Necklaces, New Brooches represents a valuable contribution to this series. It is an inspirational compendium of the most innovative creations in today's jewelry design.

Juliet de la Rochefoucauld, Dickson Yewn
Acc Art Books, 2023
A detailed study of contemporary artist and jewelry creator, Dickson Yewn, one of the most important pioneers in bringing Han Chinese culture back into the modern and contemporary jewelry world of today. This book focuses on Yewn's inspirations, influences and the integral place of Han Chinese culture in his work.
His contemporary jewelry is a crystallization of thousands of years of Chinese material history. Square rings rub shoulders with antique porcelain forms, shapes taken from Ming furniture and the geometric latticework found in Chinese architecture. Yewn focuses on these traditional Chinese motifs, but also understands the significance of different materials. Wood, one of the five elements in Chinese philosophy, is present in most of his collections. To wear a contemporary jewel by Dickson Yewn is to delve back into China's works of art and its history, blended with a contemporary twist.
Text by Juliet Weir-de La Rochefoucauld, renowned jewelry historian, and layout by artistic and creative director Dickson Yewn.

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.
