Gold and Gems: The Jewels of Marie-Hélène De Taillac

Marie-Hélène de Taillac's eponymous jewelry line is one of our favorites — Ann wears a pair of her earrings every day. She's not the only fan… the book includes a foreword by Vanessa Friedman, as well as text from Nathalie Rykiel, Ines de la Fressange, and Hamish Bowles. From Rizzoli: “The French designer's first monograph showcases her creations while delving into her inspirations, from whimsical fairy tales to her extensive travels. The layout reflects de Taillac's preoccupation with color, with each chapter featuring a different colored text. With detailed sections dedicated to the journey of creating jewelry, this new title presents a fascinating glimpse into the work of one of today's most exciting designers.”
