For as long as we've been dressing ourselves, we've been adorning ourselves with embellishments for ears, hands, wrists & fingers. As fashion trends evolve, so do trends in jewellery. Here jewellery expert Carol Woolton shows how the worlds of fashion & jewellery have become increasingly integrated over the last century. The book showcases jewellers such as René Lalique, Tiffany, Van Cleef & Arpels and Cartier, as well as today's cutting-edge designers such as Michelle Ong, James de Givenchy, Hemmerle and Stephen Webster. Profiles of icons from Gabrielle Chanel and Harry Winston to Princess Diana and Lady Gaga reveal the interplay of personality and history in the world of fashion.
