" Alexandre Reza is without context the jeweler who owns the most beautiful collection of precious stones in the world. He chooses them with science, cuts them with infallible intuition, and assembles them into magical ornaments which draw their inspiration from history or are pure products of contemporary creation. In each case, it is the beauty of the stone that guides its choice. This work deals with gems, from mining to cutting, gives the history and description of the different precious stones, and cites the jewels that have marked History. Based on drawings by Holbein, Piero della Francesca, Morisson, Pouget, Alexandre Reza brings to life these projects designed for jewelry, which had never before been executed.
