Description
"Bugs and butterflies have inspired beautiful works of jewelry. This book celebrates these ubiquitous and essential creatures with a full-color survey of jeweled objects by both anonymous artisans and celebrated designers such as Tiffany, Faberge, and Schiaparelli." "An ancient Egyptian lapis lazuli scarab bracelet, an Art Nouveau grasshopper by Rene Lalique, and an enamel, emerald, and diamond butterfly by Cartier are among the more than 150 creations on display in color photographs, more show more than half of which are shown here for the first time. With a text that presents remarkable facts and lore about insects in the natural world, Jeweled Bugs and Butterflies will be for collectors and jewelry buffs alike."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
