Michele della Valle: Jewels and Myths

One of the best books on jewelry, excellent photos and design is high quality classic and classy designs, the man knows his stuff and is as good as Cartier and Van Cleef, but adds a twist of colors and to his more avant guard designs. A true classic in designs and one can almost see Sophia Loren and Kate wearing the same jewelry from him on the red carpet.

This is the best jewelry book I bought this year. Very substantial, with beautiful, gorgeous pictures. Good to admire over and over again.Does someone know if some of jewelry in the pictures is in real life size?

The book is great but very bad bundled : the hard cover is loose from the pages !

This book is a dream!

Beautiful photography but no real background information on the artist.

A visual feast of glorious gems! A true visual history of an amazing artist.

Not a good book, not great jewels

A gem of a book on gems! Not only does it show gorgeous, elegant, fun, creative jewelry and precious stones; it is also beautifully designed, showing exquisite photos. Looking at these creations, Michele della Valle's soul and his out-of-the-ordinary life shine through. A true feast for the eye and a delight to look at again and again....
