Buying a jewelry book as a gift could be considered an economical move. It would cost far less than an actual bauble, yet be filled with more jewels than anyone could ever own.
Kazumi Arikawa, who once told The New York Times that his mission was to create the Louvre Museum of jewelry in Japan, has published a book offering a glimpse into his expansive collection of more than 800 pieces.
I wanted to share with everyone the shaking of my heart and soul that I experience when I encounter beauty. I am guided by beauty, beauty is the most important factor when I choose a piece of jewelry for my collection.
Even if the recipient isn't a jewelry enthusiast, they'll gain insights into the power and economics of precious materials that have shaped the world.
