Beautiful Creatures

Jewelry Inspired by the Animal Kingdom

By: Marion Fasel

Creatures from the animal kingdom represented in exquisite jewelry by renowned masters Cartier, Bulgari, Tiffany & Co., JAR, Belperron, David Webb, Schlumberger, Boucheron, and many other brilliant jewelers. Many of the most imaginative designs by the world's great jewelry houses and artisans take inspiration from the animal kingdom. From Cartier's iconic panthers to Bulgari's snakes and JAR's butterflies, these spectacular objects dripping with precious stones are akin to wearable art. Beautiful Creatures depicts some of the most spectacular beasts ever transformed into sparkling treasures and accompanies a forthcoming special exhibition in the American Museum of Natural History's Allison and Roberto Mignone Halls of Gems and Minerals. The 120 pieces featured date from the mid-1800s to the present, representing species from the realms of land, air, and water. Gorgeous studio photography of the jewelry is complemented by images of iconic personalities, including Elizabeth Taylor, Twiggy, and the Duchess of Windsor wearing famous animal- inspired jewels. Guest curator Marion Fasel relays the stories behind the individual pieces through entertaining anecdotes and reveals the colorful histories and fascinating symbolism of these remarkable creatures in precious gems and metals that intrigue and delight and that we never tire of wearing.

B is for Bvlgari

Celebrating 50 Years in America

By: Marion Fasel,Lynn Yaeger

A half century ago when Bulgari arrived in America, it came with jewelry and ideas that resonated. B is for Bulgari: Celebrating 50 Years in America reviews many of the highlights through fascinating behind-the-scenes anecdotes, dazzling Bulgari jewels and extraordinary editorial photographs from legendary lensmen Richard Avedon, Gian Paolo Barbieri and Francesco Scavullo among others. An innovative 1970s Bulgari advertisement featuring a large bejeweled B inspired the title and alphabet format of the publication. For each letter a story is told about one aspect of Bulgari's history. The dynamic design of the book, glamorous visual story-telling and touch of humor are a tribute to the Italian jeweler's inimitable style.Over the years, Bulgari has perpetually moved jewelry forward like none other by having a modern attitude and a pioneering drive for experimentation. B is for Bulgari shows how the American jewelry landscape has sparkled more brilliantly because of Bulgari.

Bulgari

Serpenti Collection

By: Marion Fasel

Since the 1940s, with the creation of bracelet-watches in the form of a snake, the serpent has been one of Bulgari's most emblematic and eternal symbols. Representing everything from birth, rebirth, beauty, sex appeal, and wisdom in Greek mythology and Roman civilization, the snake motif also alludes to founder Sotirio Bulgari's Greek heritage and adopted home of Rome. This new tome explores the Serpenti collection's rich heritage, distinguished elegance, and status as one of the Roman jewelry house's contemporary icons. Featuring imagery of Elizabeth Taylor, who famously sported a serpent-shaped watch while filming Cleopatra in 1962; Marisa Berenson; and Diana Vreeland, who, in one of her legendary Vogue memos, declared her fascination for the snake motif, this oversize book speaks to the timelessness, sensuality, and beauty of Bulgari's Serpenti collection.
