Using exceptional precious and semi-precious stones mounted in rare and unusual metals, JAR jewels are classics with a twinkle. Galconda diamonds, Kashmir sapphires, natural pearls, Indian emeralds, Burma rubies as well as demantoid garnets, pink sapphires and spinels are regularly used in his creations. Rosenthal's demand for perfection in the production of each piece is so high that only 60 to 70 jewels are made each year. All of them are unique - never duplicated. In this book you will discover 400 JAR creations, photographed using Rosenthal's personal vision via the photographer's special technique. For everyone even remotely interested in jewellery, this is a book you have to own. The release of this book will coincide with the exhibition The Jewels of JAR Paris commencing on November 2, 2002 at Somerset House, London.

In 1977, when American-born Joel Arthur Rosenthal set up shop in a passageway leading to Place Vendome, Paris, no one could have imagined that his creations would make a permanent mark in the world of Jewellery. JAR was born. The small firm in Paris employs four people. It has never advertised and has only organised one very private exhibition at the National Academy of Design in New York on November 30, 1987, to celebrate JAR's tenth aniversary. And still, publicity shy Rosenthal and his partner, Pierre Jeannet, had the show last merely three hours. Without marketing campaigns or the backing of a multinational group, jewels by JAR are today sought after by collectors in Europe, Asia and America who are attracted by the design and quality of his pieces.
