Metropolitan Museum of Art New York Jewels by JAR

The exquisite jewelry of JAR was the theme of a recent exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum and the book is an outcome of this. Beautiful photos of an original artist with a rare feeling for precious stones and a preference for using subjects from nature, particularly from the plant world. Lovely, informative and in a handy format.

JARの入門本。 もっと色々見たいが…。

One of the most gorgeous jewelery books Ever. I own them all--Tiffany, Faberge, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Yard, Flato, Art Deco jewelry, etc. you name it, I have it. Hands down-this is the most scrumptious, gorgeous, delicious book of them all. Pieces of jewelry so creative, humorous, colorful and ingenious as to literally leave you gasping with surprise and delight. Truly, I have never seen anything like these oh-so-precious witticisms both in terms of design and craftsmanship. My only criticism (well, there are two), is that it wasn't long enough and the book was smaller than expected-about 9" x 9". Even so, I'm glad to have it, having been wait-listed for almost a year on the original book only to have my order cancelled, after which the price sky-rocketed into the thousands-of-dollars stratosphere. A fabulous addition to any collection!

As jóias são lindas, o texto é ótimo e o livro está em perfeito estado, amei

Bellissimo libro su una star del design del gioiello. Unico libro trovato finora su Jar a prezzi umani (gli altri in circolazione che ho trovato finora vanno dai 1000 euro in su). È un formato piccolo, ma le foto sono molto belle ed è un buon inizio nella conoscenza di un genio.
