The stories behind the great celebrity jewellery collections Featuring the jewels of Grace Kelly, Marlene Dietrich, Jackie Kennedy and many more Chapters on the great collectors of old, and the new celebrity collectors of today Throughout the 20th century, jewellery revealed the behind-the-scenes stories and the plot twists and turns in the real lives of celebrities that will always be larger than life. Some of the world's most fabulous jewels not only illustrated power and status in society but these magical gems held tremendous sentimental value as they were linked to the most significant moments and memories of Hollywood royalty, international aristocracy and international icons of style. If These Jewels Could Talk offers a glimpse into the jewellery boxes of these celebrities - the personal tastes, heartfelt anecdotes and the true tales of the women who wore and collected the pieces. During the early- to mid-20th century, a majority of screen actresses requested to wear their own favourite pieces in films. This offered a peek into some of the great jewellers of the time who were designing for women who could choose anything. Actresses such as Merle Oberon, Paulette Goddard, Joan Crawford, Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor as well as icons such as Jackie Kennedy and The Duchess of Windsor created signature styles for which they became known and which influenced generations of women, becoming part of our collective consciousness. The 20s through the 50s were a time when the renowned jewellery houses were also celebrities in their own right. They mixed with the socialites and royalty they bejewelled. In films, jewellery clearly developed and defined a character's personality - as it did in real life - whether it be a rags-to-riches story or those that figured into the plot: for example, a Cartier bracelet in Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat, or a Harry Winston necklace in Notorious. Whether on or off screen, worn by the famed and the legendary, and designed by the most revered houses of the day, all of these jewels take us on a narrative journey that provide fascinating insight into the intriguing worlds of early Hollywood and nobility from the 1920s through to today.

L'ouvrage reprend l'ensemble des pièces conservées au sein de la collection Gillion Crowet qui constitue, avec ses quelques trois-cent pièces une collection de référence quant aux parures féminines des Berbères du Maroc. Centrée sur les productions rurales en argent, la collection offre un panorama complet des centres de création à partir de pièces d'une qualité exceptionnelle comme on n'en retrouve dans aucune collection publique aujourd'hui. 1 Dans la première, il s'agit d'une exploration de la continuité historique de la culture berbère depuis le Néolithique avec la question, actuelle, d'une culture saharienne qui aurait été poussée à essaimer pour cause de désertification. 2 À cet ancrage dans l'histoire répond une deuxième partie qui témoigne du lien étroit qui fait de la parure, l'image-écran de la femme berbère. 3 L'exploration des sites de production. Les bijoux sont ramenés à une topographique de la création qui va du Nord au Sud et de l'Est à l'Ouest.

Beautiful engraved Illustrations of coins and medals throughout, many foldout. In French. Title translates as Metalic History of the Republic of Holland. New Edition Augmented by 140 Medals. Graesse I, 433. Lipsius / LS 47. The Bourbon historian and scholar Pierre Bizot (1630-1696) was one of the first authors to take an interest in modern numismatics. The author also proposed to reconstruct the history of the Netherlands based on the production and description of the medals. Metal production in the Netherlands from 1566 to 1680 is described with a great luxury with both numismatic and historical information. The book of Bizot had been printed for the first time in Paris in 1687 in folio format. In this second edition in smaller format, the first two volumes reproduce the text of Bizot. However the editor there has inserted several additions and had many plates engraved again, that were engraved in reverse in the first edition issued a year earlier in 1687. Includes Remarques sur Ledition De Paris De la Republique de Hollande de Mr. Bizot at the end of the 2nd volume. A supplement was published over a decade later. Paper and internal binding excellent with only light toning, no tears, Very Good Condition. (AC-21-18)
