Description

Explore the fascinating world of precious gems in this beautifully illustrated volume. Gems brings together the wonders of mineralogy and masterpieces of jewelry through an exceptional selection of geological specimens, legendary gems, and exceptional ornaments created throughout history. The exhibition, which ran from September 16, 2020 to May 4, 2021, showcased a dialogue between the prestigious collections of the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris and the great French jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels. This unique volume sheds light on both the natural wonders made by the Earth itself and the virtuoso creations of human hands that transform them into works of art. With contributions from an international team of mineralogists, scientists, and specialists in natural history and jewelry, Gems offers a comprehensive exploration of the diversity of the mineral universe.
