Elegant Fantasy The Jewelry of Arline Fisch

This is the first monograph on Arline Fisch, the leading American creator of jewelry as art. It introduces the most important aspects of her work: full-body jewelry, which covers the wearer's body like armor; recurrent motifs like fans, feathers, and animals and, finally, something that is distinctively her own: the textile techniques she has employed in making jewelry. More than 100 brilliant color photographs illustrate the spectacular work of this innovative artist, revealing the impact jewelry and clothing, metal and fabric have on each other in her work.
