"""We don't make what people want - we make what we love."" - Glenn Spiro

Known to serious collectors and aficionados, G is one of the most sought-after private jewellers in the world. Led by the renowned Glenn Spiro, the British creator established his own house in 2014 after over twenty-five years dealing in only the rarest gems. In his appointment-only London atelier, the former studio of fashion designer Sir Norman Hartnell, Mr. Spiro combines exquisitely detailed settings with a careful selection of unique stones. A couture piece from the G Atelier can be years in the making and his technical mastery has gained a cult following of collectors. Rapper Jay-Z famously gifted wife, Beyonce Knowles, the ""Papillon"" butterfly ring, crafted with 326 tsavorites and 342 brilliant-cut diamonds. In 2018 the iconic ring was donated to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London where it remains on view with the permanent collection. Featuring original photography of the most iconic pieces in his collection, the spirit of one of the boldest and inventive names in jewellery comes alive in a luxurious and colourful volume devoted to his show-stopping works of art.

AUTHORS: Raymond Sancroft-Baker joined Christie's in 1969 and was their numismatist until he joined the jewelry department in 1988. For the next twenty years, he served as the European jewelry director, based in London, but during his career he has also worked in Geneva, Hong Kong, Los Angeles and New York. He was responsible for Christie's first theme sale, in 1992, Jewels and Works of Art by Cartier, and in 2006 organized the sale of jewelry belonging to the late Princess Margaret. He became a consultant in 2008 and is a fellow of the Gemmological Association of Great Britain.
