520    From the vaults of the world's most esteemed jewelers, 
       this lavishly illustrated treasury features gem-laden 
       blooms that will never fade away. Throughout history, 
       flowers have been the inspiration for jewelers and the 
       people who wore their creations. Gabrielle Chanel's 
       favorite flower was the camellia and since the 1920s the 
       flower has become incorporated into every aspect of the 
       house's designs. Christian Dior favored the lily of the 
       valley and made it the center of his 1954 collection. This
       gorgeous volume highlights hundreds of examples of the 
       finest floral jewelry ever made. Divided into four seasons
       --and the flowers that bloom in them--this book explores 
       the history of flowers in the fine jewelry world and 
       features dazzling illustrations, original sketches and 
       gouache paintings showing how these blooms have been 
       translated into pieces that are both priceless and 
       ageless. The jewelry editor of British Vogue, Carol 
       Woolton, offers expert insight into fashion history and 
       trends. She explores the Belle ⅰoque, styles of the 1940s,
       and the re-interpretations of iconic pieces. From original
       bejeweled botanical pieces by master jewelers such as Rene
       Lalique and Peter Carl Faberge, to the splendor of Cartier
       's orchids and fanciful imaginative flowers by 
       contemporary designers such as Victoire de Castellane. 
       Joel Arthur Rosenthal, acknowledged as the world's 
       greatest jeweler, has contributed a foreword and images 
       for the book. These fanciful ornaments will entice 
       collectors and dreamers alike.--|cSource other than
