Libros de Joyería, página 6 de 22

Estudio de la evolución general de la joyería española a lo largo de cinco siglos, entre los reinados de Felipe II y Alfonso XIII. La joya, con independencia de su valor material, está asociada más que muchos otros objetos a la vida de la gente, y es por ello reflejo de las modas, los estilos y otras circunstancias sociales. Como objeto artístico, la joya es portadora, además, de los valores estéticos inherentes al momento histórico concreto de su fabricación. Las joyas, casi siempre consideradas apéndices de artes "mayores" como la platería, se alzan en este estudio como las verdaderas protagonistas en torno a las cuales gira la documentación gráfica aportada.

Presents all the fundamental metalworking techniques needed in making jewellery. Subjects discussed include: cutting and bending, pattern, texture and contour, fusing and soldering, cold connections, finishing and patinas, stone settings, mechanisms and chains, and casting. Lavishly illustrated, this is a must for anyone interested in metalsmithing for jewellery.

Never before has such an extensive and beautiful collection of brooches been assembled, or photographed to such perfection. Marjorie Simon, a distinguished presence in the jewelry field, chose the pieces, and every one features the fine craftsmanship of a top contemporary jeweler. The breathtaking and provocative styles range from traditional to very avant-garde, and the brooches come not only in gold, silver, copper, and wire, but also in glass, porcelain, paper, and other more unusual materials. They''re forged, soldered, chased, and cast, and surface embellishments run the gamut from enamel and metal foils to patinas and inlay. In some cases, detail images and artist''s comments accompany the full-size photos. Jewelers, students, collectors, and anyone who loves exquisite items will appreciate the amazing diversity on display here.

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.
