Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A master of metamorphosis, Sicilian duketurnedjewelrydesigner Fulco di Verdura (18981978) studded seashells with precious gems, transformed sailor's knots into pearlencrusted necklaces, and wrapped blazing ruby hearts with braided gold rope. Since the mid20th century, his ultrasophisticated neoBaroque pieces have been the status symbols of a nearsecret society of European blue bloods, Hollywood royalty, and Park Avenue patricians. Verdura's byappointmentonly patrons included Wallis Simpson, Marlene Dietrich, and Diana Vreeland, who considered his Maltese Cross cuffs an essential part of her daily uniform.In this lavish book, featuring fresh color photographs as well as vintage images, Patricia Corbett presents a deft evaluation of Verdura's work and a glimpse inside his impossibly glamorous world.
