This exceptional piece of bookmaking features 6 diaromas depicting a mother-daughter bond that blossoms throughout the cycle of life: birth, childhood, adolescence, love, marriage, and pregnancy.

The first book devoted to Maison Chaumet, the prestigious jewelers in the Place Vendome, Paris, sheds new light on the history of jewelry and the development of styles from the French revolution to the present. Throughout its long history from 1789, Chaumet has always succeeded in attracting the greatest buyers; Russian princes, Maharajas, the aristocracy and millionaires of the Old and New World were all drawn by the combination of the finest stones available with jewelery epitomizing French chic and good taste. The founder, Marie-Etienne Nitot, who made jewels for Napoleon and his two empresses, set the standard which has been maintained ever since. The Chaumet archives go back to 1836. The author spent several years studying the ledgers, tradesman's accounts and correspondence, as well as albums of designs and thousands of daguerrotypes. She presents the fascinating story of this genius of jewelery in a scholarly but readable form using quotations from contemporary literature, fashion magazines, diaries and letters to bring the story to life.

Symbols of success and happiness, jewels for the head are among the most spectacular jewelry created over the last two centuries. From the diadem offered by Napoleon I to Pope Pius VII, to the model created for Romaine Brooks (an onyx and diamond bandeau anticipating the Art Deco style of the 1920s), these jewels have long fascinated anyone with an interest in precious jewelry. Chaumet plays an important role in the history of jewels for the head, and this rich volume draws on unpublished photographs and documents from its incredible collection to trace the evolution of this unique jewelry. Images of eclectic, imaginative treasures, together with Chaumet's most beautiful creations, result in an opulent homage to beauty, originality and style. Illustrated

Tanzanite is one thousand times rarer than diamonds The first book ever presenting this precious stone discovered only forty years ago Upon the discovery of Tanzanite in Tanzania a specimen was entrusted to the stonecutter Manuel de Souza, who shared some samples with distinguished gemologists. While the prospector thought that he had found some sapphires, he was astonished to learn that he had unearthed something altogether extraordinary. The new gem immediately caught the eye of Tiffany & Co. Since 1968, the New York-based jeweler has pushed the stone into the spotlight. It launched a campaign that was successful enough to earn tanzanite the noble title of 'gem of the 20th century'. Tanzanite gained further renown when in 2002 the American Gem Trade Association (AGTA) named tanzanite, together with turquoise, the birthstones for December. Tanzanite's transformations have ultimately placed it alongside the most precious of precious gems. In short, tanzanite's age of glory has finally dawned. Needless to say, tanzanite's allure has attracted the attention of a list of famous designers: Lorenz Baumer (France), Ruth Grieco (Brazil), Catherine Sauvage (Germany), MVee (Hong Kong) and TTF (China). In Asia and elsewhere, tanzanite is seen as the source of happiness for the happy few. Tanzanite: Born from Lightning showcases hundreds of beautiful pieces of tanzanite jewelry, including superb creations made by Boucheron, Bulgari, Cartier, Chanel, Chaumet, Chopard, Dior, Boucheron, Louis Vuitton, Piaget, Van Cleef & Arpels, Wallace Chan and more."
