Francesca Amfitheatrof: Fantastical Jewels

Francesca Amfitheatrof

Overview

This monograph surveys the designer’s high-jewelry collections, tracing her path from Central Saint Martins to the creative directorship of Tiffany & Co. and her own brand, Thief & Heir. Large-format photographs reveal intricate settings that reinterpret natural forms—coral branches, starfish, and lunar surfaces—through unconventional stones and titanium work. Essays explore her collaborations with master artisans and the cultural references embedded in each series. The result is a record of contemporary craftsmanship that bridges traditional goldsmithing and forward-looking design.
