A century of jewellery history in one stunning volumeMore than 200 hallmarks help collectors with identifying piecesExceptional pieces from Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Modernist and Revivalist jewelsTadema Gallery was founded in 1978 by Sonya and David Newell-Smith in London's famed Camden Passage in Islington.
They were successful photo-journalists who ventured into the field of 20th century abstract art and the decorative arts of the 19th and 20th centuries.
By 1982 they had discovered a passion for artist-designed jewellery and showed in the gallery an eclectic choice of jewels from significant designers of the Revivalist, Art Nouveau, Arts & Crafts, Jugendstil, Art Deco, and Modernist movements.
With over 500 unique jewellery pieces from the 1860s to 1960s, the book reflects the 40-year history of the gallery and the superb eye of its inspirational founders.
