Brooches:Timeless Adornment is the first book on the subject
of vintage and contemporary pins and brooches. Beginning
with an illustrated history of how this jewelry form has
evolved—from Roman fibulae to scatter pins and
starbursts—this gorgeously illustrated volume presents more
than 175 of the best examples of fine, costume, and artisan
jewelry made by top designers, among them Van Cleef &
Arpels, Cartier, Georg Jensen, and Ted Muehling. Fashion
stylists, celebrity collectors, and jewelry experts share
their enthusiasm for the brooch and offer their ideas on how
to accessorize with favorite pieces. These dazzling
photographs show the jewelry as adornments to stunning
jackets, dresses, and coats, and demonstrate how this piece
has become a fabulous style statement. Practical information
about storing, cleaning, and repair complete this
indispensable resource for jewelry fans.
