EDITOR'S REVIEW
Olivier Dupon’s 2012 coffee table book The New Jewelers was a beautifully curated showcase of 108 established and emerging designers renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship, and his latest offering, Fine Jewelry Couture: Contemporary Heirlooms, continues in a similar vein. This time, however, he has turned his focus on those experimental designers producing high-end jewellery that is not merely valuable but creatively arresting also. More than 35 jewellers from across the globe have been selected to appear in this glossy tome, which features sketches alongside images of jewels, and Dupon has a great eye. Many of our favourites designers appear on the list, including Fernando Jorge, Daniela Villegas, Ilgiz Fazulzyanov, Margot McKinney, Nikos Koulis, Ornella Iannuzzi, Silvia Furmanovich and Tomasz Donocik, with accompanying interviews in which Dupon examines how each designer works, and what fuels their ideas.
