This sensational design book showcases America's most gorgeous and inventive art jewellery! For over a decade, the elite, invitation-only American Jewelry Design Council (AJDC) has sponsored an annual project: every member creates an original piece based on a given theme. Jewellers have previously tackled such concepts as the Mona Lisa, Wheel, Key, Puzzle, Water, Flight, Sphere and Secret Treasure. Each of these topics now becomes a dramatically photographed chapter, complete with introductions by renowned jewellery writers Cindy Edelstein and Frank Stankus. In addition to background information on the AJDC and the annual design event - artists' commentaries enhance specific images. A final members' section includes a biography, headshot and additional jewellery images.
