Van Cleef & Arpels: The Art & Science of Gems

Van Cleef & Arpels: The Art & Science of Gems, just out from the renowned Parisian art and design publisher Editions Xavier Barral, is an astonishing book offering "page upon sumptuous page of historical jewels," in the words of Wallpaper's Caragh McKay. "Among the most wondrous are the objet designs of the early 20th century – a carved jade pillbox, gold champagne swizzle, and a quartz and onyx nightlight (pictured here, from 1930) among them." An excellent Holiday Gift choice for the fashion forward or luxuriously inclined. But equally fascinating for lovers of art, photography, gemology and the history of high design.
