Synopsis
Rings have outsold every other subject covered by our 500 series, so it's only fitting that we begin the next generation of the series with Showcase: 500 Rings. This dynamic gallery volume looks at the jeweller's art as it's being interpreted by leading designers from around the world, some exploring dazzlingly innovative styles with highly advanced techniques and costly materials; others using simple, traditional methods and creating works of quiet elegance. What they all have in common is that every image contains elements of surprise and awe.
