A Bit of Universe: The Jewelry of Luz Camino
A lavish monograph on the esteemed Spanish jewelry designer, whose work celebrates nature, geometry and the cosmos, on the occasion of her fiftieth anniversary.
Called the “queen of plique-à-jour,” after the historic and rarified enameling technique, Luz Camino has been in a continuous conversation with the world around her through her art; everything from birds, flowers, and shapes to rubber bands and even pencil shavings have been her muse. This first monograph on her work featuring more than two hundred fifty of her creations, many of which have never before been seen outside of private collections. This book beautifully showcases the sophistication, innovation, and creativity of one of the most adept jewelers working today.

These pieces are stunning. I'm very glad I got to see such gorgeous pictures of their shining details, and someday I'd love to own a Camino piece.
I do wish the book had included some commentary from the artists about their inspiration and vision for a number of pieces. I also strongly feel the artists/book should have attributed clearer, individual credit to the artisans involved in designing and crafting each piece, rather than one reference to them en masse.
