Les Enluminures will debut a special exhibition of Byzantine finger-rings in October at Frieze Masters, London 2017. The eighteen rings date from the 3rd to the 13th centuries. They represent superior examples in excellent condition of the major types of Byzantine rings: signets, marriage rings, monograms, and gemstones.
Sandra Hindman discusses the Museo dei Gioielli: in a restored Palladian building in the centre of Vicenza, the Basilica Palladiana, Alba Cappellieri oversees one of the few museums in the world entirely devoted to jewellery.
Les Enluminures jewelry specialist Beatriz Chadour-Sampson is featured in a new magazine from Gübelin, highlighting her lectures for an ongoing exhibition at the Swiss National Museum.
