Lea Stein Jewelry by Judith Just (2001, Hardcover, Illustrated)

Judith Just has assembled a beautiful selection of Lea Stein jewelry. It is a coffee table book that is wonderful to share with others. New collectors will find it an invaluable resource. The price ranges for pieces are for 2001 so should not be relied on.
This book does not provide enough narrative for me. Since the designer is still alive, it would have been more interesting if Judith Just had interviewed her and presented more of her life, the development of her business, her influence on other artists and the volume of pieces in the market place. I understand that the cellulose lamination process is confidential. Surely some information could be presented without compromising corporate secrets.
