Symphony of Jewels: Anna Hu Opus 1

Description: Symphony of Jewels: Anna Hu Opus 1 Written by Janet Zapata, Carol Woolton, David Warren Principal Photography by David Behl Vendome Press, 2012. Hardcover. 168 pp. Gray cloth. Titles stamped in silver to spine and front. Richly illustrated with color photos. Near Fine. Previous owner's ex libris affixed to the title page. Else free of all markings. Bright pages. Dust jacket shows mild rubbing rear panel. Inspired by Chinese art and lore, Western art and music, and the natural world, Anna Hu's one-of-a-kind pieces have catapulted her to the top of the jewelry firmament in a few short years. This volume celebrates the completion of her first 100 works, or "Opus 1," as she calls the collection. Exploring the relationship between her jewelry and fashion as well as the remarkable gems that inspired her work, this large-format book focuses on the pieces themselves, exquisitely photographed by master jewelry photographer David Behl. Some are as intricate as Chinese embroidery, others as ethereal as butterflies, and still others are jeweled reinterpretations of timeless works of music and art, from Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and Puccini's Turandot to Monet's Water Lilies. Praise for Symphony of Jewels "This book details Hu's] first 99 works--many inspired by classical pieces--in exquisite detail." --Cleveland Plain Dealer
