A stunning and authoritative collection of 300 of jewelry’s greatest names spanning more than 200 years

The Jewelry Book is a deep dive into the designers, creative houses, artists, collectors, and style icons from around the world who have produced and inspired the most memorable designs in jewelry.

Edited by Melanie Grant, author of Coveted: Art and Innovation in High Jewelry, in collaboration with an international panel of experts, this stunning book spans more than two centuries of rich history, showcasing 300 of the industry’s greatest contributors in one lavish, collectible volume.

The Jewelry Book is arranged in A to Z order, placing early stars and iconic brands alongside today’s most innovative designers and creatives.
