They are free and ambitious. Talented and determined. They have succeeded in imposing their style and creative vision in a world—jewelry—long dominated by men.

A book of portraits of women who left their mark on the world of jewelry in the 20th century. In tune with their times, they all participated in their own way in the women's emancipation movement by offering jewelry with modern designs and often unexpected materials. Each portrait evokes their story, their journey, their style, what their jewelry tells about their era, and what their most significant creations are.

Suzanne Belperron, Jeanne Toussaint, Renée Puissant, Elsa Triolet, Gabrielle Chanel, Line Vautrin, Elsa Peretti, Loulou de la Falaise, Victoire de Castellane...
