Jewels by Jar (Fashion Studies)

The exquisite jewelry of JAR was the theme of a recent exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum and the book is an outcome of this. Beautiful photos of an original artist with a rare feeling for precious stones and a preference for using subjects from nature, particularly from the plant world. Lovely, informative and in a handy format.

For those who are fascinated by contemporary jewellery design, this beautifully written and designed book, published to coincide with JAR'S one man show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a must. I suspect it might become a collectors's item so collect it now!

Gorgeous photographs of inspiring jewellery. The book is just a pleasure to peruse. There are not many pages and not that many pieces of jewellery shown, but whatever is there is a real feast to the eyes.

A catalogue of the exhibits from an exhibition in NY.Page after page of exact, catalogue-worthy photos of JAR's jewelery.It comes in a hard slip-case, the book is hard-back with high quality standards of production.Literature about JAR is scarce enough, so buy this book and revel in his exquisite craftsmanship.

If ,like me you can't make it to New York to see the Jar exhibition,buy this book,it's as near as you can get to seeing the real thing.Satisfying.

Miniature limited exhibition catalog. Nothing spectacular.

An amazing review of the work of a very clever goldsmith. Beautiful gemstones set so creatively into fabulous wearable jewels. Lovely photography. Breathtaking creations

On time as always , in condition described , and value for money very happy with purchase .

Bellissimo libro su una star del design del gioiello. Unico libro trovato finora su Jar a prezzi umani (gli altri in circolazione che ho trovato finora vanno dai 1000 euro in su). È un formato piccolo, ma le foto sono molto belle ed è un buon inizio nella conoscenza di un genio.

JARの入門本。もっと色々見たいが…。

BEAUTIFUL BEYOND WORDS - JAR's JEWELS ARE INCREDIBLE and this is a wonderful book showcasing a selection of those works. Kept one and gave several as gifts. A must have for all jewellery lovers.

Das Buch entspricht genau dem was angeboten wurde. Gute Qualität, nichts zu beanstanden. Ich würde es ohne weiteres wieder kaufen.Gut verpackt, alles also bestens.

One of the most gorgeous jewelery books Ever. I own them all--Tiffany, Faberge, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Yard, Flato, Art Deco jewelry, etc. you name it, I have it. Hands down-this is the most scrumptious, gorgeous, delicious book of them all. Pieces of jewelry so creative, humorous, colorful and ingenious as to literally leave you gasping with surprise and delight.Truly, I have never seen anything like these oh-so-precious witticisms both in terms of design and craftsmanship.My only criticism (well, there are two), is that it wasn't long enough and the book was smaller than expected-about 9" x 9". Even so, I'm glad to have it, having been wait-listed for almost a year on the original book only to have my order cancelled, after which the price sky-rocketed into the thousands-of-dollars stratosphere.A fabulous addition to any collection!
