Hardback. Condition: New. Showcases Alexandra Albini's unique, hand-made jewellery pieces. Feminine shapes often embrace large baroque pearls or precious gems that are not cut according to conventional standards but are roughly shaped or left in their natural crystal habit. The gems are chosen for the beauty of their colours and for their inclusions, valued because they add a natural authenticity to the stone. After all, aren't inclusions nature's fingerprint, worthy of being celebrated rather than condemned as flaws? These are the principal ingredients of Alexandra Albini's jewellery collection, as it is revealed in the pages of this book through the empathic eye of celebrated photographer Gian Paolo Barbieri. Text in English and Italian.…

Brossura. Condition: new. Testo Italiano e Inglese. Mantova, 2016; br., pp. 160, ill. Dalla Preistoria al Novecento il tempo del gioiello è stato un tempo lineare, sequenziale e deduttivo, scandito dalla preziosità dei materiali e dal simbolismo sociale. I tempi della contemporaneità orafa si sono invece frammentati nei riflessi multipli di valori e di contesti spesso divergenti, in bilico tra l'eterno della tradizione preziosa e l'effimero della moda. Nella frammentarietà del presente si aprono squarci sui futuri del gioiello: l'alta gioielleria della Manifattura Mirabile, l'eleganza della Bellezza Quotidiana, le sperimentazioni artistiche dell'Avant Craft, i gioielli interattivi delle Tecnologie Preziose fino alle sfide del 3D printing della Creatività Collettiva. Sono i capolavori del gioiello italiano, quelli che il mondo ammira, che qui assumono il valore di exempla da tramandare alle prossime generazioni, in un pluralismo di linguaggi che interseca il gioiello all'arte, al design, alla moda e alle nuove tecnologie. Protagonista è il collier, il più rappresentativo e bello tra i gioielli italiani. Libro.…

Hardback. Condition: New. The Museo del Gioiello in Vicenza - the only example in Italy entirely dedicated to jewellery - is renewed every two years: without permanent collections, it offers biennial exhibitions of unique and exclusive jewels in the evocative spaces of the Basilica Palladiana. For the third biennium since its inauguration (on display until 2020), the museum hosts 310 pieces of inestimable value, exhibited in nine thematic sections curated by as many internationally renowned experts. In presenting the masterpieces of this exhibition, this catalogue gathers the contributions of the curators which, far from the usual museum criteria of chronological or stylistic classification, restore the complexity of the jewel through multiple points of view, where the ancient dialogues with the contemporary and the masterpieces of the past are juxtaposed with those made with the technologies of the future.Text in English and Italian.…
