Marie Chabrol's interviewed the author (in English and French), who is she ? Why did she write the book?

    • wonderful work noticed by the French as international industry jewelry.
    • quite 300 pages highly documented and illustrated, the author allows us to discover a work made for jewelers, students and lovers of jewels. 
    • a book to have in all good bookcases
    • a reasonable price for this amazing book. 
    • I think everybody is happy to have the chance to buy it... a miracle
