The Jewelry Book is a deep dive into the designers, creative houses, artists, collectors, and style icons from around the world who have produced and inspired the most memorable designs in jewellery.
Incredibly excited and honoured to finally share this news! I'm thrilled to announce my inclusion in "The Jewelry Book," a stunning new publication from Phaidon.
This monumental book, edited by the brilliant Melanie Grant, features 300 of jewellery’s greatest names spanning over 200 years.
To be featured alongside such incredible artists and designers is a profound honour, and I'm immensely proud to be part of this significant survey in Phaidon's iconic series following The Art Book and The Fashion Book.
Edited by Melanie Grant, author of Coveted: Art and Innovation in High Jewelry, in collaboration with an international panel of experts, this stunning book spans more than two centuries of rich history, showcasing 300 of the industry’s greatest contributors in one lavish, collectible volume.
The Jewelry Book is arranged in A to Z order, placing early stars and iconic brands alongside today’s most innovative designers and creatives. Entries ranging from Boucheron, Buccellati, Cartier, René Lalique, Elsa Peretti, Hemmerle, Tiffany & Co and Van Cleef & Arpels to Iris Apfel, Wallace Chan, Loulou de la Falaise, Olivier Rousteing, James de Givenchy, and Elizabeth Taylor reveal the jewellery world’s inextricable connection to fashion, art, and culture.
Filled with inspirational images, the book is designed as a gorgeous object in its own right.
"The Jewelry Book" is set to be published 24 September 2025.
