The Soul of Jewellery
by Flammarion
A comprehensive volume celebrating jewellery, featuring a broad range of artistic and intellectual perspectives.
This volume offers unique and previously unpublished insight on the world of jewellery. Calling upon specialists from every creative and intellectual discipline—artist or composer, botanist or perfumer, novelist or philosopher—this reference volume examines jewellery in all of its different facets, from anthropology to philosophy to art. Alongside its sensitive and cultural insight into the art of jewellery making, this volume is richly illustrated with drawings and archives from Maison Chaumet and photographs by Simone Cavadini and Julia Hetta that offer new perspectives on the jewel.
This tome has been published in collaboration with Maison Chaumet.
"Casting a wide net, the publisher brought together an eclectic group of contributors whose expertise ranges from science to the arts and who provide thoughtful tangents to the traditional discussion of jewelry’s finer points. Among these contributors are botanist Marc Jeanson, mineralogist Érik Gonthier, artist Joana Vasconcelos, architects Dominique Jakob and Brendan MacFarlane, auctioneer Benoît Repellin, senior curator and Art Deco specialist Évelyne Possémé, composer and pianist Karol Beffa, novelist Carole Martinez, perfumer Frédéric Malle, art historian Charline Coupeau, journalist Virginie Mouzat, French literature specialist Sophie Pelletier, senior curator and Asian-art specialist Amin Jaffer, philosopher Emanuele Coccia, and photographer Julia Hetta. Lavish illustrations from the archives of Parisian jeweler Chaumet complement their words." —RAPAPORT MAGAZINE
