Rings have outsold every other subject covered by our "500" books, so it's only fitting that we begin the next generation of the series with "Showcase: 500 Rings". This dynamic gallery volume looks at the jeweller's art as it's being interpreted by leading designers from around the world - some exploring dazzlingly innovative styles with highly advanced techniques and costly materials; others using simple, traditional methods and creating works of quiet elegance. What they all have in common is that every image contains elements of surprise and awe.
