從17世紀以來，花朵一直都是珠寶設計師最重要的靈感來源。這本豪華精裝版的珠寶圖鑑收錄巴黎裝飾藝術博物館珍藏最精細典雅的珠寶展品，包括精細的古典雕花懷錶、手鐲、胸針、耳環、戒指、髮簪等，透過豐富多元的花卉圖騰，必能激發設計師們的創作靈感。花朵自然呈現的曲線因而發展出許多造型獨特的珠寶設計，也因此激發了新藝術運動、裝飾風藝術及現代主義等。當時最知名的代表人物有玻璃詩人René Lalique及Georges Fouquet等。而當代珠寶設計大師如克洛德與弗朗索瓦‧沙維爾‧萊蘭夫婦、勞倫茲•鮑默及美國珠寶設計大師JAR仍持續以花朵為創造靈感，打造更多精湛的作品。超過百張精雕細琢的典雅珠寶圖片，獻給熱愛珠寶設計及時尚的讀者珍藏。
For many centuries, flowers have provided a source of inspiration for jewelers. The sumptuous selection of floral pieces in this book have all been selected from the magnificent jewelry collection of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, and range from the seventeenth century to the present day.
In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, flowers were imitated in enamel or used as motifs for elaborate bodice ornaments made of gemstones. Brooches, pendants, and rings took the form of bouquets or flower baskets. The stylized blooms of the Empire style were followed by the highly naturalistic blossoms of the later nineteenth century. Flowers continued to flourish in the sinuous shapes of Art Nouveau, the geometric designs of Art Deco, and the sculptural simplicity of modernism, with great artists including René Lalique and Georges Fouquet constantly reworking nature’s forms for their style-conscious clientele. Now, contemporary designers such as Claude Lalanne, Lorenz Bäumer, and JAR continue to create floral jewelry for today’s trendsetters.
Beautifully photographed by renowned photographer Jean-Marie del Moral, these intricate works of art will delight all lovers of jewelry and nature.
