The author examines in detail ten clear themes associated with jewellery, including colour, light, proportion, nature and legends. Among the many names included are Viviana Torun Von Bulow (designer for Georg Jensen), Margaret Da Patta, Grethchen Threscow, Wendy Ramshaw, Angela Cummings, Paoloma Picasso, Maina B, Lydia Courteille and Michelle Ong.
