Raulet, Sylvie. Art Deco Jewelry. First American Edition. 1985. Book is in very good minus condition; dust jacket is in very good condition—there is a third party gift inscription to the blank page following the flyleaf.
In the 1920s, jewelry design followed fashion (which itself had followed art) into the Art Deco era. Fueled by technological innovation and the economic euphoria of the 1920s, it was a boom time for the jewelry business. This large book is one of the best sources on the subject, with nearly eight hundred illustrations, many in color. Includes pieces by Cartier, Buoucheron, Van Cleef & Arpels, Cassandre, Lalique, the Fouquets, and many others.
“A piece of jewelry is the symbolic object par excellence, appreciated as much for its aesthetic qualities as for its intrinsic value.”
--Sylvie Raulet
