sourcebook of twentieth-century jewelry ever published. From the
1900s to the year 2000, John Peacock charts the development of
every kind and style of jewelry for both women and men: brooches,
earrings, necklaces, pendants, bracelets, buckles, dress clips,
hair ornaments, rings; watches, cufflinks, and more. Both precious
jewelry and costume jewelry appear, as does novelty jewelry.John
Peacock is the doyen of fashion illustration. His many books on
men''s and women''s fashion and accessories form an unparalleled
library for students, collectors, and fashion enthusiasts alike.
Many years of research for this book, using paintings, photographs,
and the jewelry itself, have allowed him to reproduce in meticulous
detail a host of representative pieces from every year of the
century. Arranged in twenty-year sections, the pictures are
accompanied by complete descriptions of each piece, including
details of materials, stones, designs, fastenings, mounts, and
surrounds.These highly detailed drawings allow the reader to see
how the sty les of the great twentieth-century designers and
jewelry houses -- among them Lalique, Cartier, Chaumet, Chanel,
Jensen, Verdura, Schlumberger, Haskell, Harry Winston, Van Cleef
and Arpels, and Tiffany and Co. -- have filtered down to
mass-produced and costume jewelry. Every style is represented: Art
Nouveau and Arts and Crafts pieces of the early twentieth century;
Art Deco of the twenties and thirties; cocktail jewelry of the
forties and fifties; Pop Art creations of the sixties and
seventies; flashy, ostentatious jewelry of the eighties; andmore
delicate, retro jewelry of the nineties. The invaluable reference
section includes biographies of the century''s leading international
jewelers and a concise bibliography.
