Beauty Gems 50 Years of Jewellery Treasures (Richard Werly)

A STORY OF THAILAND, GEMS AND JEWELRY

"Precious stones are found without doubt at several places in the Kingdom of Siam as, when traveling, I often came accross them in the beds of streams and amongst the gravel of rivers, but nowhere are there as many as in the province of Chantaboon (The actual province of Chantaburi). Written in 1854 by Mgr Pallegoix, a french missionary considered as one of the most knowledgeable and reliable commentator of his time, these lines tell us the story behind this Beauty Gems 50th anniversary book.

Blessed with profusion of gems, especially rubies and sapphires, Thailand has become, over these last decades, a prominent player in the global jewelry industry. From initial design to the most exquisite finished product, top quality jewelry is nowadays a trademark of prominent Thai corporations, of which Beauty Gems lead the pack.

The book you have in hands intends to show, and expose, the diversity and magnificence of Beauty Gems craftsmanship throughout fifty years of dedication to state of the art jewelry production, while remaining deeply faithful to the Siamese traditions of gold and precious stones regalia. Divided in five chapters - Heritage, Gemstones, Icons, Glamour and Excellence - it offers the most updated insight of Beauty Gems, an Asian brand bound to shine even more in the coming decades
