Author Description

Using exceptional precious and semi-precious stones mounted in rare and unusual metals, JAR jewels are classics with a twinkle. Galconda diamonds, Kashmir sapphires, natural pearls, Indian emeralds, Burma rubies as well as demantoid garnets, pink sapphires and spinels are regularly used in his creations. Rosenthal's demand for perfection in the production of each piece is so high that only 60 to 70 jewels are made each year. All of them are unique - never duplicated. In this book you will discover 400 JAR creations, photographed using Rosenthal's personal vision via the photographer's special technique. For everyone even remotely interested in jewellery, this is a book you have to own. The release of this book will coincide with the exhibition The Jewels of JAR Paris commencing on November 2, 2002 at Somerset House, London.
