Adorning your bookcase
Amanda Mansell's new book is a luxe look at the best of contemporary jewellery.
By Stephanie Trendocher
From custom-made couture pieces to the simplest wedding bands, Adorn: New Jewelry ($34, Laurence King), the new book by Amanda Mansell highlights the dazzling designs of over 175 contemporary jewellery artists from around the world—from those using traditional techniques to avant-garde statement pieces.
Chapters are arranged by type of jewellery so readers can peruse through varying styles and techniques, from earrings to toe rings. Highlights are Hannah Havana’s thought-provoking engagement rings, which change according to your romantic status, Barbara Stutman’s colourful neckpiece (shown) and Wendy Hacker-Moss’s studded blue pearls, a modern take on a classic. The book is a visual feast, and for those inspired to buy, Mansell has handily included contact info.
