A history of Italian glamour and craftsmanship, told through the story of costume jewelry
A book about costume jewelry and its creative intersections with Italian excellence, Diva! presents 200 Italian fashion jewels from the Dolce Vita of the 1950s to the Prêt-à-Porter of the 1980s, from the minimalism of the 1990s to the neobaroque of the new millennium, telling a typically Italian story--one that combines creativity and manufacturing, craft and industry, art and technology, beauty and innovation.
