In responding to a challenge to create individual brooches to be worn by the former Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, 61 jewelers from around the world created this remarkable collection. Broaching many subjects and employing a wide variety of materials and techniques each full-page color plate in this compact book, beautifully and diplomatically, presents the art and the artist's point of view. From gold to glass, these meaningful pieces sparkle with beauty and importance.
