Edited by Nicolás Estrada New Brooches now in paperback focuses on brooches within a book
series exploring current innovative trends in contemporary jewellery. With a selection of over
400 jewellery artists' creations from all over the world this inspirational volume is the most
comprehensive compilation on this subject and an important step in Nicolás Estrada's
exploration of current trends in contemporary jewellery. A must-have for any professional or
student of jewellery or fashion design this work shows the versatile and dynamic nature of
brooches and the many and varied materials and forms that they involve. Needing only a pin to
secure it to the wearer's garment this ornament is essentially a jewellery artist's blank
canvas that invites endless creativity and offers more freedom of expression than any other
form of jewellery. The brooch has continued to evolve and be reinterpreted over time and it is
playing a critical role in the development of new jewellery as a platform for artistic
expression. Following the success of Estrada's New Rings New Earrings and New Necklaces New
Brooches represents a valuable contribution to this series. The book features 400+ jewellery
designs from 175 jewelers from 25 countries.
