The awesome craftsmanship that appears throughout this unique volume showcases the zenith of an art, which marries the world's most exceptional gems with exquisitely-honed metal designs. Some of the world's top jewellers present expertly-fashioned settings that embrace a diversity of styles and techniques, including pave, invisible, gypsy, wire and tension. These include wonderful, unique designs, such as Christoph Krahenmann's creations which display a fabulous fusion of Swiss artisanship and American ingenuity, old world elegance and contemporary chic. Paula Crevoshay's jewellery which focuses on the way gems make light tangible; she is considered by many to be one of the finest colourists today. And the opulent, intricate gold work of antiquity, which inspires Kent Raible.
