fascinating and influential jewelry designers. Breaking out of the
rarified world associated with fine jewelry is a set of
contemporary designers who combine traditional skills with fresh
vision, transforming artistic inspiration into wearable art.
Boundless creativity and a sense of playfulness distinguish these
jewelers from the pack, skills that result in pieces that are
breathtakingly sophisticated and deeply rooted in each designer's
singular aesthetic. Focusing on seventeen modern masters from

processes, and inspiration that go into their work. Curated by

Jeweler introduces readers to designers like the Hemmerles, a
jewelry dynasty known for molding materials like copper and
aluminum into one-of-a-kind collectibles, Wallace Chan, the Hong
Kong wizard of stones whose patented techniques dazzle the mind as
well as the wearer, Elena Votsi, an Athens jeweler who remade the
Olympic medal, and whose bold metallic pieces are like wearable
sculptures, and Lauren Adriana, a London wunderkind poised to
become the master of her generation. Through Volandes's vivid
profiles and breathtaking images of each jeweler's work, readers
are immersed in the passion and craft that make each one a
visionary. Jeweler is a stunning portrait of this fascinating niche
