About this book

Discover the dazzling treasures of one of the world's most prominent jewelry collectors, hailed by Forbes as "the man with the most valuable jewelry collection you never knew existed."

This volume illuminates the vision of Kazumi Arikawa, a Japanese collector and the founder and president of Albion Art. Throughout his career, he has pursued the world's most dazzling gems, acquiring rare pieces from all eras with incomparable artistic and historical value, including an important number of royal jewels from across Europe and the largest collection of historical tiaras.

For Kazumi Arikawa, who spent several years as a Buddhist monk, jewelry art is a spiritual journey--an exaltation of emotions and a celebration of universal beauty, which he has made his mission to spread across the world through publications and exhibitions. In Japanese culture, this veneration of beauty is closely linked to the purity of the soul.

Featuring a catalog of works curated by acclaimed jewelry historian Diana Scarisbrick, as well as all-new photography by Nils Herrmann, this volume presents for the first time 250 treasured pieces that have passed through the skilled hands of this unique collector, including a selection of masterpieces now held in the Qatar Museums collections.
