Includes an artist's statement: "My jewels are a protest against emphasis upon the cost of the materials of jewelry. My object is to show the jeweler's art in true perspective -- where the design and craftsmanship are to be valued above the material worth of the gems, as in Renaissance times." Plates have captions by Dali and occasionally further comments added by the editor. This revised and updated edition includes 9 additions to the original collection purchased by the Foundation in November 1958.
