A stunning and authoritative collection of 300 of jewellery’s greatest names spanning more than 200 years.

The Jewelry Book is a deep dive into the designers, creative houses, artists, collectors, and style icons from around the world who have produced and inspired the most memorable designs in jewellery.

Edited by Melanie Grant, author of Coveted: Art and Innovation in High Jewelry, in collaboration with an international panel of experts, this stunning book spans more than two centuries of rich history, showcasing 300 of the industry’s greatest contributors in one lavish, collectible volume.

The Jewelry Book is arranged in A to Z order, placing early stars and iconic brands alongside today’s most innovative designers and creatives. Entries ranging from Boucheron, Buccellati, Cartier, René Lalique, Elsa Peretti, Hemmerle, Tiffany & Co, and Van Cleef & Arpels to Iris Apfel, Wallace Chan, Loulou de la Falaise, Olivier Rousteing, James de Givenchy, and Elizabeth Taylor reveal the jewellery world’s inextricable connection to fashion, art, and culture.

Filled with inspirational images, the book is designed as a gorgeous object in its own right, with a cover featuring a luxe, faceted deboss on a metallic material to evoke a dazzling gemstone.
