From ancient times, society has considered jewels as a sign of wealth and power, ornaments aimed at arousing attention, admiration and desire. This viewpoint was Claude Mazloum's criterion for choosing the variegated creations of some of the top international jewel artists included in this volume. The jewellery pictured here carries messages now demure; now forward, but always of great beauty and utter artistic mastery. There are chapters on jewels and their abstract, representational and even philosophic relationship to the world of eroticism.
