Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The technical skills traditionally acquired in jewelry ateliers have enabled the production of precious jewelry that combines prestige and market value. Rings, necklaces, bracelets, brooches: this book features works by 58 artisans from three generations who have studied in several European countries. From Hand to Hand celebrates the transmission of traditions and knowledge from the past to the present. The words of the jewelers themselves, passing on the secrets of their trade, and those of the apprentices, accompany the images that depict their stunning creations.
