Rings are much more than just a form of accessorization. Though they are among the smallest pieces of jewelry, their symbolism is great. Wedding rings, class rings, Claddaghs…the list goes on, each individual piece of jewelry a representation of something much larger than just its physical appearance.

Barcelona-based jewelry designer Nicolas Estrada has a love and appreciation for rings that he wants to share with the world. His book New Rings: 500+ Designs from Around the World is an amazing collection of custom-made rings designed by artisans from all corners of the earth. An eclectic blend of traditional, unconventional, and avant-garde designs, New Rings is a beautifully illustrated look at the intricacies of ring jewelry.

With 591 rings created by close to 300 international designers, the book reviews not only the artistic techniques used to craft the jewelry, but the meanings that lie within each work of art. Whether it’s a personal statement, a representation of commitment, or a reminder of a particular point in time, each ring has a distinct and unique significance.

Monet Group is one of the most famed costume jewelry companies in existence. Since the late 40’s, the brand’s vintage jewelry ads showed the pure glamour and chic style of the designs. Today, one of the most enduring advertisements is being shown off in a different way: as a book cover.

Alice Vega’s new book, Monet: The Master Jewelers examines the company’s longevity as a leader in the costume jewelry field. Accompanied Terry Niefield’s brilliant photography, the book is not just informative…it’s beautiful.

Monet has been in existence for nearly 70 years, its craftsmanship and quality unsurpassed by peers. Vega’s book is a long overdue look at the history behind the jewelry, and after a great deal of in-depth research, she is exposing little known facts about Monet’s founders, the company’s origins, and the early years of business. Misconceptions are corrected and the long history is explored and praised.
