In Praise of Hands: The Art of Fine Jewelry at Van Cleef & Arpels by Franco Cologni A trip to the discovery of jewellery manufacturing founded in Paris in 1896. Van Cleef & Arpels is perhaps the most renowned maison of fine jewellery in the world. The book reveals for the first time the secrets of the Mains d'Or that make every piece by Van Cleef & Arpels a unique jewel. The human hand takes pride in its work and with this book Van Cleef & Arpels wish to pay homage to all those skilled and knowledgeable hands whose humility and selflessness make it possible for jewellery to exist. It is a life force, transmitted by jewellers, setters, polishers and all those who are daily confronted by age-old and precious materials: shaping, transforming and exalting them without ever betraying the reverence that a masterpiece should inspire. The condition of the book is very good and the pages inside the book are clean.
