[edit] TIARAS

Making use of the photographic archives of many famous jewellers, Geoffrey Munn presents a celebration of 200 years of the tiara. Included are photographs of a variety of royal tiaras together with those of Russian and French imperial provenances.

Tiaras have always inspired a great fascination and the most beautiful and influential women have been painted, photographed and admired whilst wearing them. Even in the 21st century they are still worn and continue to inspire special poise and elegance. This lavishly illustrated book includes new photographs of a variety of Royal tiaras together with those of French and Russian Imperial provenances. Geoffrey Munn has been granted special access to the photographic archives of many famous jewellers, including Cartier, Boucheron and Faberge, for his research. Other makers include Garratds, Castellani, Giuliano, Lalique, Fouquet and Tiffany. Many of these stunning tiaras also have great historical significance and their provenance is explained fully by the author, who is an specialist in jewellery and metalwork. Among the contemporary pieces illustrated are tiaras belonging to Jamie Lee Curtis, Vivienne Westwood, Elton John and Madonna, made by Slim Barratt, Galliano and Versace.
