Riassunto:
"From Hand to Hand" presents the relationship between European master jewelers and their apprentices through a selection of contemporary jewellery.The technical skills traditionally acquired in ateliers have enabled the production of precious jewellery that combines prestige and market value. Rings, necklaces, bracelets, brooches: this book features works by 58 artisans from 3 generations who studied in several European countries. "From Hand to Hand" celebrates the transmission of traditions and knowledge from the past to the present. The words of the jewellers themselves, passing on the secrets of their trade, and those of their apprentices, accompany the photographs that depict their stunning creations.
