Baubles, Buttons and Beads by Sibylle Jargstorf
For 500 years, the world's greatest makers of costume jewelry have hidden, anonymous, in the heart of Europe: Gablonz, Bohemia. This groundbreaking, beautiful book exposes the jewels, craftsmanship, technological development, and history of Bohemia. Almost 400 gorgeous color photographs illustrate the area's artistry, its most significant designers and manufacturers and their contributions to the art of jewelry, button, and bead making. Bohemian glass dynasties lasted for centuries, until the middle of the 20th century, when the entire community of German-stock craftsmen was expelled from the area in the turbulence of World War I. Though Gablonz will forever feel the loss of these great craftsmen, their artistry has been meticulously researched and documented by Sibylle Jargstorf for this book.
Jargstorf, Sibylle: - Glass historian Sibylle Jargstorf, from Braunschweg, Germany, has directed her considerable skill and energy to this, her fourth book on glass. Her previous original research for her popular books Glass in Jewelry; Paperweights, and Baubles, Buttons and Beads: the Heritage of Bohemia has won her the respect of thousands of readers.
