| Summary: | "Inspired by Chinese art and lore, Western art and music, and the natural world, Anna Hu's one-of-a-kind pieces have catapulted her to the top of the jewelry firmament in a few short years. This volume celebrates the completion of her first 100 works, or Opus 1, as she calls the collection. Exploring the relationship between her jewelry and fashion as well as the remarkable gems that inspired her work, this large-format book focuses on the pieces themselves, exquisitely photographed by master jewelry photographer David Behl. Some are as intricate as Chinese embroidery, others as ethereal as butterflies, and still others are jeweled reinterpretations of timeless works of music and art, from Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and Puccini's Turandot to Monet's Water Lilies“--Provided by publisher. |
