This lavish survey of Vivienne Westwood jewellery evokes the heady blend of luxury and rebellion that is the house's signature style. Whether a skillfully rendered safety-pin brooch, a hand-strung "broken" pearl necklace, or the iconic Westwood orb in crystal, these are pieces that define the house's codes.

The book centers on specially photographed vignettes, interspersed with catwalk shots and images of Westwood herself wearing her pieces to form a compendium that will inspire and inform any jewellery or fashion aficionado.
