Summary:

Tiffany Colored Gems traces the history of the companyڃs use of
colored stones in its jewelry design from the mid-nineteenth century
to the present day. Organized by color, stones of every brilliant
shade, variety, and cut make an appearance, from emeralds, sapphires,
rubies, and amethysts to tourmalines, tanzanites, opals, turquoise,
and jade. Lavishly illustrated with archival and contemporary
photographs, Tiffany Colored Gems also includes paintings of famous
stones and those who wore them in centuries past, as well as design
sketches and drawings from Tiffanyڃs extensive archive. Prominently
featuring the designs of Paloma Picasso and Jean Schlumberger, as
well as many others, including Frank Gehry.--From publisher
