Happy 2022! While many of us are back to work this week, the events schedule isn’t likely to start up again until mid-January. In the meantime, cue up the latest jewelry podcasts, watch (or rewatch) webinars from NYC Jewelry Week, and set aside time to read a deeply researched tome about the jewels of the 20th century.

Understanding Jewellery: The 20th Century by David Bennett and Daniela Mascetti
Published by ACC Art Books, Understanding Jewellery: The 20th Century is the latest book written by David Bennett and Daniela Mascetti, the former Sotheby’s jewelry executives who coauthored the original 1989 Understanding Jewellery, long considered a bible among jewelry lovers. The new volume covers the most distinguished designers of the 20th century—including Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, Bulgari, and Tiffany & Co.—and is sure to be a reference for years to come.
