 Overall beautiful but disturbing September 3, 2008
Design Addict (california)
Granted,this book has beautiful photos of some important contemporary pieces by some master makers. Very disturbing is the fact that some of the makers included here are individuals who have plaigerized the work of others-fortunately there are only a few who are undeservedly included. It's unfortunate but other than this and the editorial mistakes, it is still a beautiful book that is worth having. I guess I'd rather give it 3.5 stars!

This is a great eye-candy book. Some problems with the proofing are evident when you start looking closely, but it isn't too bad.

Very inspirational. It is nice to see objects that were created from the heart and not for a commercial production line. Fine craftsmanship.
 Fantastic Photos! June 19, 2007

I justed wanted to reinforce what others have said about this book. You won't regret buying it for the photos only. The editing is poor and embarassing to the artists. I bought it for the photo's, and I'm very happy with the purchase.

I found the book to be exactly what I was looking for. The phtographs reveal the diversity of jewelry being created today. The book is full of inspiration for the practicing jeweller.
