I’ve worked on and off for INSTORE over the past 14 years, and during that time, I’ve written four books. For my latest, The Modern Guide to Antique Jewellery (ACC Artbooks, May 2022), Editor-in-Chief Trace Shelton told me: “It will be more fun to hear about the book from your point of view and for you to choose your favorite jewels.” So that is what I am doing now — I’m giving you a sneak peek at the book through this gallery of antique jewelry that set trends that lasted far into the future.
