None

The Art of Bulgari
"This catalogue accompanies the exhibition of the same name at the de Young Museum, San Francisco, September 21, 2013-February 17, 2014. It covers four decades of creativity and artistic production by the jeweler Bulgari, based in Rome, focusing particularly on the postwar climate in Italy in which an "Italian style" of jewelry emerged"--
Bulgari Portfolio
A selection of images that pay homage to the extraordinary visual heritage of the maison from the origins to our own day In 2009, on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of Bulgari, the prestigious Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome dedicated to the great jeweller its most important retrospective ever. Next came the splendid 2010 exhibition in Paris, beneath the majestic vaults of the Grand Palais. The show was then hosted in 2011 by the National Museum in Beijing, and subsequently by the Aurora Museum in Shanghai. Nearly six hundred masterpieces of the jeweller's art were thus exhibited for the first time to the general public. Displayed along with special features like the magnificent collection that once belonged to Elizabeth Taylor were archival documents such as photographs, preparatory drawings and film stills, eloquently illustrating the epoch to which each piece belonged. Since past catalogues have already exhaustively documented the jewels on display, the present volume takes a different approach, crowning this quartet of exhibitions with a selection of images that render homage to the extraordinary visual heritage of the maison.
The Simply Brilliant
Simply Brilliant presents 120 pieces by 50 leading makers of jewelry in the 1960s and '70s, drawn from the Klosterman collection in Cincinnati. Most, if not all, of the individual makers of this era thought of themselves as artists first, jewelers second, and this magnificent new volume is full of stunning one of a kind pieces which reflect the inventive, ground-breaking attitudes of the era. The book explores the 1961 Goldsmiths Hall exhibition in London and its influence on contemporary jewelry designers such as John Donald, Arthur King, Andrew Grima and Gilbert Albert. The 1961 exhibition brought a new direction in jewelry design to the fore, influencing others--including the major jewelry houses such as Cartier, Bulgari, Chopard and Van Cleef and Arpels--paving the way for an international movement in fashion and design. These jewelry designers created unique pieces,often for individual clients, using non-traditional materials and unusual forms.
The Necklace
Somewhere between jewelry and body adornment, the necklace offers perhaps the most exciting decorative possibilities of any article of personal display. What is worn around the neck cannot be ignored - unlike the more discreet charms of ear and finger decoration - and the necklace as an emblem of wealth, status and proclivity has been shaped and reshaped through the centuries by successive fashions, techniques and materials, from the Egyptian broad collar and the Celtic gold torc, to the diamond sautoirs of the 1920s and the exuberant creations of the liberated sixties. The major part of this book is devoted to the necklace in the 19th and 20th centuries, as theses are the most acessible to the potential buyer and collector.
