A compendium of design, from the best-known practitioners in modern jewelry, and an invaluable sourcebook for designers, collectors, and dealers in fine jewelry The desire to depict animals in art has always been strong, and the early history of jewelry, from Celtic brooches to Renaissance pendants, shows abundant examples of its appeal. The Jeweled Menagerie begins by painting a picture of this historical context, but its unifying focus is the great efflorescence of jewelry design in the modern period. It was not until the nineteenth century, with the growth of a middle class eager to show off their recently acquired wealth, that a whole new group of designers and manufacturers, mainly in France, sought to satisfy the appetite for jewels of all types made of precious metals, precious or semiprecious gems, and enamel. There was a revival of Egyptian and Etruscan styles in which animals of all sorts were incorporated: birds, mammals, insects, reptiles, and fish. The discovery of Japanese crafts also had an influence on the jewels that were created during the century. Prominent jewelry houses, such as Fontenay, Falize, Fabergé, and Tiffany & Co., all created a spectacular array of animal jewels that are much prized today. The new design developments from the turn of the century and through the whole of the twentieth—Art Nouveau and Art Deco before the Second World War, but also a plethora of forms in the decades since—contributed impressive animal jewelry, from Lalique's intricate insects to Cartier's panthers to the sophisticated imagery of Verdura. Here for the first time the contents of this "jeweled menagerie" are examined in detail, showing the great imagination and skill that have gone into the fashioning of these precious objects. They exhibit not only meticulous craftsmanship, but grace, humor, and refinement. All lovers of fine jewelry will be intrigued by the many examples of a demanding art, displayed lavishly here in color. 250 color illustrations. .

Based on more than 20 years of original research in Europe, Israel, and the United States by artist Murray Zimiles, and accompanied by an essay by distinguished Judaica scholar Vivian B.Mann, this book is the first fully developed study of the secularization of Eastern European Jewish folk art traditions in America.

Until recently, little was known in the United States about the creative work of European Jewish folk artists. The destruction of the material heritage of Eastern European Jews during World War II has made it very difficult to recover artifacts of Jewish artistry. The physical remnants of that heritage--among them, the types of papercuts, gravestones, and wood carvings featured in this volume--can only suggest how extensive the traditions of Jewish folk art in Eastern Europe once were.

Skilled craftsmen, responsible for the painted and carved interiors of Eastern European synagogues and their elaborately carved arks and bimahs, came to the New World in the late nineteenth century, where they soon flourished and became the creators of some of America's greatest folk art. Folk art embraces many artistic expressions made by gifted individuals who have not had formal training in the arts. Folk artists apply a diverse range of skills to objects used in daily life. Jewish folk artist emigres encountered in the United States a society more interested in what they could produce than in what religion they practiced. Not only did they continue to carve religious artifacts for new synagogues serving fellow immigrants; they also created wooden trade figures, carnival figures, and some of the greatest carousel animals the world has ever seen.

This volume tells the story of carvers who, released from Eastern European religious strictures, responded with great playfulness to an expansive new environment. Traditional patterns reemerged, often infused with American ideas and images, not only in synagogue decorations and objects intended for ritual use but also in the secular world. Within this dynamic, a surprising link was forged between the Eastern European synagogue and the American carousel.

This volume and the exhibition that it documents recapture a sense of awe and appreciation for a nearly lost tradition. They return to the Jewish people, and to world culture, a visual tradition of great beauty and decorative complexity..

Becca pondered the heaviness of Vicky's words. "...Its been so long since I've done something just for myself," she sighed. "I would feel incredibly guilty."

Vicky broke out into bubbly laughter. "Guilt-a male invention to keep women neatly in their place. I didn't tell you to fly first-class to Paris. I suggested taking a few days of R&R-you look peaked, rundown, and if you don't mind my bluntness, you look like I did five years ago. I've only known you a little while, but I feel you're at the beginning of The Jeweled Path."

After years of dealing with the daily trials of raising a family, Rebecca feels she is just floating along. While digging through some old trunks in the attic, she finds a picture of herself at nineteen, and wonders where the carefree girl from the picture has gone. She determines that she has to do something.

When she drops her son off at college, she meets a woman who suggests that she take a few days for herself to follow "The Jeweled Path." The path is littered with obstacles, but as she befriends spiritually-minded people, each new friend offers her a jewel of wisdom and Rebecca grows in strength and understanding, as if guided by unseen hands..
