Description

As used in German, the French word ‘collier’ denotes a particularly valuable form of neck jewellery – it represents a promise and betokens dignity to the wearer. This is the sense in which Dorothea Prühl lays claim to the term for her jewellery.

For Dorothea Prühl, necklaces are ‘jewellery par excellence’ and this book, edited by Florian Hufnagl and with an explanatory text from Renate Luckner-Bien, explores some of her finest examples.
