A nice overview of the work of Jean Després, a French jewellery maker and designer best known for his intricate Art Deco jewellery made from semi-precious stones, machine parts, and enamel. Després’ aesthetics were largely inspired by his friendships with avant-garde artists, including the Cubist Georges Braque.  Illustrated throughout.
