| | Review: enviable collection of art nouveau jewelry
| How lucky to be the owner of this fabulous collection of jewelry. My wife Julie, the jewel authority in the family, was in raptures when examining the illustrations in this catalogue. "I would be happy to own just one of these treasures" was her lament (or hint!).
The anonymous owner of this collection of the 79 jewels on display must have a good eye and presumably deep pockets. There is an abundance of gold, diamonds, pearls and other precious minerals in most of the items. There is also the great craftmanship involved in the design and manufacture of these intricate treasures to consider.
This compact catalogue has informative essays on the subject at hand. There are also additional illustrations of various decorative objects that inspired the designs of these jewels. The reproductions are clear and vivid and the printing is of high quality. Warmly recommended. |

| | Review: Fantastic photos and interesting text
| | I purchased this from the Boston MFA, following their exhibition of the jewelry featured in the book. I greatly enjoyed reading about the jewelery and the many, many photos of the pieces. From the exquisite to the fantastical, this collection features a wide range of pieces. Highly recommended!! |

| | Review: Enthusiastically recommended for jewelry art book collections
| Imperishable Beauty: Art Nouveau Jewelry is an art book showcasing jewelry that exemplified the European Art Nouveau movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Though an essay acquaints the reader with the history and aesthetics of art nouveau jewelry, for the most part the full-color photographs of breathtaking artistic creations speak for themselves. From a colorful blue-and-white brooch shaped like a swallow to a gold hair comb decorated with a profile of a dragon on a wave, the style, drama, and pathos of these three-dimensional creations are sure to captivate the imagination. Enthusiastically recommended for jewelry art book collections.
