Melanie Grant
Phaidon Press, 2020
When does jewelry transcend the category of fashion accessory to become art? Coveted provides a survey of the most innovative creations in jewelry design, profiling 75 of the most prominent designers working today. Through exceptional pieces from each artist's oeuvre, the book explores their conceptual approach, provenance of materials, quality of design, composition, and workmanship, revealing what makes these creations not only coveted objects of exceptional value but also works of art. Coveted is separated into 5 thematic chapters covering key approaches for contemporary high jewelry, including Modernism; the cultural exchange between East and West and its effect on design; the evolution and meaning of innovative materials; the natural world as inspiration and the growing empowerment of women, both as designers and consumers.

L'un des personnages les plus en vue de son époque, Gabrielle Chanel a Inventé un style synonyme de modernité et d'allure. On sait peut-être moins that the great dame de la mode du XXe siècle a travaillé le platine et les diamants pour an exceptionnelle collection by haute joaillerie. Cette expérience audacieuse inspire aujourd'hui la maison Chanel, qui renouvelle ainsi à travers son département joaillerie, situé place Vendôme, l'art et la manière de travailler et porter le bijou. An adventure tout à la fois classique et contemporaine qui perpetual l'un des plus great names of ce siècle.

Devoted to the new High Jewelry and precious objects collection created by Cartier, this book celebrates nature's vitality, sensuality, and aesthetic force. Documents from the House's archives show that flora and fauna have been a major source of inspiration at Cartier since the very beginning.
The representations are numerous, and the interpretations complement each other: figurative, as realistic as possible; stylized, between an outline or suggestion; and all the way to abstraction, with the disconcerting visual play.
The jeweler's imagination and virtuosity transform precious materials and stones into splendid ensembles. For this groundbreaking new collection, the artists who create the designs go even farther than the known natural universe to visit unexplored territories: in addition to the Houses's emblematic species, such as panthers and crocodiles, we discover original creations, inspired, for example, by succulents and peacocks, or even imaginary creatures like reinvented chimeras.
In this richly illustrated volume, the new Cartier High Jewelry collection is accompanied by text that highlights the privileged relationship that exists between contemporary art and nature. Artists, fascinated by the power and the mystery of the environment that surrounds us, move beyond traditional art arenas to confront the immensity of landscapes or to work directly with materials from nature. The natural world is a marvel that never ceases to inspire and seduce.

Cet ouvrage présente les créations joaillières et les objets précieux de Van Cleef & Arpels dans leur rapport au temps, à la nature et à l'amour. Le temps est un élément essentiel dans la conception comme dans la fabrication d'un objet. Il façonne sa forme et détermine sa fonction et son utilité sociale. Il définit son style ainsi que le choix des techniques et des matériaux utilisés. Il indique ses origines et révèle son conteuse. Le temps est interprété à travers huit thèmes inspirés des leçons américaines. Six propositions poarleprocbain millénaire d'Italo Calvino afin de mettre en lumière les icônes joaillières de Van Cleef & Arpels, depuis les pièces art déco jusqu à l'incroyable collier Zip, en passant par la technique du Serti Mystérieux, une innovation importante de l'histoire de la joaillerie. Tout comme le temps, la nature joue un rôle fondamental dam l'histoire de la Maison : elle constitue en effet une source continue d'inspiration et d'hommages, incarnée dans des créations joaillières uniques et des objets précieux intemporels ornés de motifs floraux et végétaux. Van Cleef & Arpels est né de l'amour, la force la plus puissante qui soit. Chaque création joaillière de la Maison est élaborée avec amour et certaines d'entre elles ont joué un rôle important dans les passions Ira plus mythiques du siècle. A travers un brillant essai critique et historique illustré d'une sélection de bijoux somptueux, d'objets précieux et de documents d'archives inédits, cet ouvrage symbolise les valeurs éternelles du temps, de la nature et de l'amour selon Van Cleef & Arpels.?
