RElie, Hardback, 240 x 300mm., 200pp., 150 illustrations couleur et b/w. French. ISBN 9789085864387. Pour la premiere fois, une recherche approfondie est faite sur l'histoire des femmes, qui ont fait les modes des bijoux diamantes. Curieusement, ces femmes sont souvent synonymes de charisme, l'intelligence et d'audace. Non seulement croqueuses de diamants, elles sont surtout un modele pour leur generation. Grace a leur style de vie, leur mode vestimentaire et leurs joyaux elles lancent de nouvelles tendances. Il s'agit bien d'une belle histoire, ou a chaque epoque de la civilisation humaine, les femmes se liberent peu a peu. Parfois scandaleuses dans le contexte du temps, elles aident a developper l'image de la femme libre. Chaque epoque a sa Diva et chaque Diva ne peut qu'etre vue qu'a travers son epoque. D'abord femmes de pouvoir, comme Elisabeth Iere d'Angleterre, ou encore Catherine II Russie, elles se rendent parfaitement compte de l'importance de leur image. C'est a travers cette image de pouvoir, si souvent exprimee par des bijoux somptueux, qu'elles etonnent les autres monarques. Louis XIV et Napoleon, eux aussi, auront compris l'utilite de cet ornement fort, qu'est le bijou diamante. Longtemps, les cours royales de France sont l'exemple de la splendeur et le faste du pouvoir monarchique. D'autres suivront l'exemple en commandant de majestueuses collections. Plus tard au XIXeme siecle, femmes riches et epouses de grands industriels se laissent tenter par de nombreuses parures en diamants, symboles de richesse. D'autres, comme l'Imperatrice Elisabeth d'Autriche ou encore Eugenie de France lancent des modes grace a leur notoriete et leur beaute. Elles deviennent le symbole de l'elegance. Des legendes comme Sarah Bernhardt, Gloria Swanson, Marlene Dietrich, Elisabeth Taylor ou la Duchesse de Windsor sont souvent associees a leurs bijoux, comme si ces joyaux ne font plus que un avec la Diva. Actuellement elles inspirent encore de nombreux createurs et Maison de joaillerie. Aux Etats-Unis, des femmes comme Doris Duke, Daisy Fellowes ou encore Barbara Hutton seront surtout renommees pour leur collection legendaire de bijoux et leur gout exquis. Grace de Monaco, Jackie Kennedy et meme Marilyn Monroe, nous rappellent des moments mythiques, comme un mariage, une apparition en public, un extrait de film, en les associant a tout jamais aux couronnes, colliers et autres. Aujourd'hui encore, des femmes exceptionnelles, portent les plus beaux joyaux du monde. Si ce n'est que lors d'une montee des marches de Cannes, d'Holly- ou Bollywood, toutes ces Divas nous font rever a tout jamais..
Bound, blue cloth, gilt lettering with dustjacket, 264pp., 26x32cm., profusely illustr. in col., as new. ISBN 9782871141297. It is in the heart of our planet - at a depth of more than 200 kilometres - exposed to extremely high temperatures of 1,700 to 2,500 degrees and to a pressure of 75,ooo kilograms per square centimetre - that miniscule carbon crystals, 'diamonds', are born. It is a long road from the rough, often ugly and misshaped stone extracted from the soil to the polished, dazzling diamond it is converted into. This slow and delicate transformation is carried out by many artisans and professionals. Eddy Vleeschdrager relates the exciting road this stone has to travel from mine to jewel.

HB, 310 x 240 mm, 264 p, 300 illustraties Eng/ IT edition. ISBN 9788836648047. Two hundred Italian fashion jewels define the aesthetic mirror of society through the decades, showing the transformation of styles and customs. In Italy, since ancient times, fashion jewellery has been, and still is, an important component of clothing, of which it represents an accessory and a complement. The history of fashion cannot be written without mentioning its jewels. The volume presents two hundred Italian fashion jewels that, spanning from era of La Dolce Vita to the Pret à Porter of the Eighties, from 90s Minimalism to the Neo Baroque of the new millennium, define the aesthetic mirror of society and show the transformation of styles and customs, ambitions and conquests of women, the evolution of shapes and innovations of materials and new technologies. DIVA! Italian Glamor in Fashion Jewellery tells about fashion jewelery in its creative intersections with Italian excellence: craftsmanship, design and fashion. A typically Italian story based on the ability to combine creativity, manufacturing and industry, art and technology, beauty and innovation. The masters of costume jewelery enter a dialogue with the great stylists and the talents of design, three heterogeneous visions with a single great protagonist: the Italian fashion jewel.
