A book can be a showcase, an archive, a meeting. In the section Books of Spirit Jewelry, The works dedicated to jewelry, stones, and houses interact with those that tell the stories of design, architecture, fashion, decorative arts, or crafts.
Monographs, art books, exhibition catalogues or more unexpected narratives: each publication is chosen for what it reveals about a creator, an era, a material or a skill. For behind a jewel, a piece of furniture, a car or an art object there is always a story of creation, of gestures and transmission.
Reading to see things differently, Understanding what lies behind a piece of jewelry and discovering the cultures that inspire creation: the Livres section thus extends Esprit Joaillerie’s perspective beyond the jewel, to all those worlds where taste, craftsmanship and time shape our vision.

When expertise becomes a story to be read.
The books that catch Esprit Joaillerie’s attention are not limited to jewelry. Fashion, decorative arts, architecture, design, and fine craftsmanship: each work becomes a gateway to a gesture, a material, a requirement—the essence of craftsmanship, regardless of the field it comes from.
Monographs by creators, art books, exhibition catalogues, and books dedicated to the techniques or the houses that embody them: these publications document universes where the hand and the long hours make all the difference. From Jean Schlumberger to Charlotte Perriand, from a master glassmaker to a couturier, the common thread remains the same: understanding what lies behind a remarkable piece.
Because craftsmanship never stops at a single discipline. It is equally evident in a jewel or a piece of furniture, a garment or an exceptional object, all of which are stories that illuminate, in a subtle way, the same requirement for creation.
Books to discover, collect, and sometimes to offer as the beginning of a new passion.
