In an unprecedented literary and artistic collaboration, the world's foremost collector of historical jewels, Kazumi Arikawa, unveils his exceptional collection in Divine Jewels : The Pursuit of Beauty. This exquisite volume is coauthored with Diana Scarisbrick, a leading scholar of jewelry history, offering readers an unparalleled journey through ten thematic chapters, spanning the Hellenistic period to the 1940s.
Divine Jeweh presents a breathtaking array of works, from intricately carved cameos and intaglios of antiquity through the nineteenth century to sublime, nature-inspired pieces reflecting the delicate aesthetics of Japanism, as well as one of the world's premier collections of historical tiaras. Each chapter, meticulously rated and researched, offers a dialogue between the scholarly perspective of the jewelry historian and the personal insights and knowledge of the collector.
This unique interplay explores the subject in a multifaceted light, celebrating jewelry history, craftsmanship, prestigious provenance, precious gemstones, and the cultural significance of jewelry.
