Publisher Description
"Tiffany Pearls", the latest in Abrams' line of books for and about Tiffany & Co., tells the dazzling history of pearl jewellery at Tiffany, from the mid 19th century to the present. Long cherished as symbols of purity and perfection and assoicated with elegance and affluence, pearls are among the most coveted of all gemstones, and those designed by Tiffany are among the finest. "Tiffany Pearls" is lavishly illustrated with archival photographs, paintings of famous pearl lovers throughout history (including Queen Elizabeth I, Catherine de Medici and Mary Todd Lincoln), sketches and drawing of Tiffany's designs and contemporary photography of their spectacular pearl pieces.
