Description
Book Synopsis"To page through its contents is to tumble down a rabbit hole of carved gemstones, cloud shapes, and gleaming colored aluminum (with a gorgeous mad genius of flame-red hair as your guide)." — JCK Online
"The Sheibani monograph deftly weaves together Sheibani’s personal life and her jewelry, exploring ways in which one feeds the other." — The Magazine Antiques
Cora Sheibani’s jewels are the product of a highly active imagination. Her creations are designed to surprise and delight – miniature cakes and jellies that look good enough to eat; rings and bracelets that glow in the dark; shimmering clouds with diamond raindrops; jewels that stare back at you, and plant pots billowing with vegetation.
Her design handwriting is predicated on a bold sense of form and colour, allied with a playful, contradictory mindset. Her design philosophy is to make jewellery she herself wants to wear and in doing so, she trusts that her customers in turn will appreciate and value her personal aesthetic.
Cora Sheibani – Jewels is published to mark the 20th anniversary of Cora Sheibani’s eponymous brand.
Trade Review"To page through its contents is to tumble down a rabbit hole of carved gemstones, cloud shapes, and gleaming colored aluminum (with a gorgeous mad genius of flame-red hair as your guide)." - JCK Online

"At less than 10 inches wide and weighing only about 3.5 pounds, the book is designed to be easily handled. “Making a hefty coffee table book filled with pictures seemed completely uninteresting,” she said. “I wanted a book that you would read and told the story of a real creative journey.”" - New York Times
"Sheibani’s pieces are considered highly collectable, a bridge between art, jewellery and design; deeply contemporary and rooted in the moment, just as she intended. She releases a new collection every year or so (she does not follow an exact timeline) with an accompanying coffee-table book to explain the materials, craft and processes." - Australian Financial Review
