    I find this book really interesting. I keep looking at the pictures
    again again and again. I always discover something new that I didn't
    notice before. I like the fact that there is no text with the pieces
    but just the description and how it was made. 

    I find normal and human that all of us don't like every single ring
    in this book. It means that they did a good job, they are showing a
    wide range. It is impossible to make a book with 1,000 rings and to
    have everyone to like every single one of them. In a matter of fact
    even if they had done the same book with only 100 rings or 10 rings
    the problem would have been the same I studied contemporary Jewelry
    in Europe so I completely understand what some of the Designers are
    trying to do and to show. Sometime showing just one ring of each
    Artist doesn't work, but when you see a complete serie of ring from
    the same Artist it makes sense. Jewelry doesn't have to be precious
    metal and genuine stones we all know that. A metro ticket and a
    paper clip could make a great piece of jewelry, if done right. 

    Jewelry is Art. So like Art some will like it and some will not.
    When I look at a Picasso or a Kandinski I am not sure I get it, but
    I still have emotions and feeling...That's what count. Even if I
    feel disgusted or shocked, at least this piece made me feel
    something. 

    I have the 1000 ring book and the 500 bracelets. I am planning on
    buying the one about the brooches.
