The Art of Mosaics

Amanda Triossi

More than 600 objects from the close of the 19th century to today, characterized by bold juxtapositions of precious materials, a unique purity of design and obsessive attention to detail. An enthralling excursus through jewels of extraordinary beauty, many of which belonged to legends of international cinema, including the splendid jewellery of Anna Magnani, Grace Kelly, Gina Lollobrigida, Anita Ekberg, Diana Vreeland and Elizabeth Taylor, seen here in intriguing photos from the period. The technical drawings and detailed catalogue entries make this catalogue a fascinating work for lovers of beauty and collectors alike, as well as a formidable professional resource for those in the field.
