The focus of this book is on the side of the brooch that usually isnt noticed: the reverse. When we encounter an attractive piece of jewelry, our instinct is to admire the front, but when we turn it around, it often reveals a secret. The author lets us in on that secret, typically only shared between the maker and the wearer.Clever brooch makers often adorn the back with items meant to complement the front, or the backside may have a unique, intricate design all its own. When you flip a brooch over in your hand you may find a surprise message, a hidden pattern, or even an unlikely foreign implement.The result is a better understanding of the artists abilities and personality. Now, you can judge for yourself what the 128 artists respresented in this volume had in mind, and, if you are a jewelry maker, you may be inspired to leave your own unique mark.

Joyería contemporánea, disciplina mágica que habla a nuestros sentidos y nos transporta a múltiples sensaciones, explosivas, sensuales, eclépticas piezas de edición limitada con alma, que escriben momentos unicos.

New in paperback, here is a dazzling survey of the life, times and flamboyant work of one of New Yorkâs greatest jewelers, Seaman Schepps. Sometimes called âAmericaâs court jewelerâ, Schepps rose to prominence in the 1930s by creating designs that defied all previous ideas of what jewelry should look like. Witty â even outrageous â and wildly flattering, Scheppsâs jewelry stood for style more than wealth. Featured on the covers of Vogue, Harperâs Bazaar, Look, and other magazines, it appealed to an enormous range of clients, from the Duchess of Windsor to Andy Warhol. Today, nearly 25 years after his death, his work has inspired a legion of new collectors, who seek out vintage rings, bracelets, earrings, compacts and lipstick cases, and the firm continues to produce splendid pieces based on the original designs. This book brings Scheppsâs extraordinary jewelry to a new generation.

En cada obra nueva, Monzó refina su relación con el mundo de las cosas y del "casi nada" mediante metáforas que exploran la luz y la ligereza, lo maravilloso y lo inacabado y, sobre todo, lo neutro. Nos quedamos perplejos: joyas que parecen contradecir sus principios fundamentales —como materialidad, comunicación o seducción— y que, al mismo tiempo, los reafirman enormemente; joyas que rehúyen de la política del deseo y, en su lugar, no exigen nada de nosotros, solo que apreciemos su potencial liberado de "mensaje" artístico. La joyería de Marc Monzó quizá sea uno de los trabajos más desafiantes del panorama de la joyería contemporánea.
