"Modern Design in Jewellery and Fans" by Charles Holme is a collection of essays and critiques focused on the art of jewellery and fan design written in the early 20th century. It encompasses a wide range of perspectives from various contributors who explore the advancements in the arts of jewellery-making and fan craftsmanship, as well as the influences shaping these modern designs. The book serves as a testament to the creative evolution and cultural significance of jewellery and fans, highlighting notable artists and trends of the time. The opening of the work begins with a preliminary note referencing John Ruskin's principles on the necessity and authenticity in design. Holme emphasizes the progress made in the understanding of the jeweller's and fan-maker's crafts, underscoring the importance of producing tasteful articles that reflect artistic innovation rather than imitation. The initial segments introduce various sections dedicated to modern jewellery from different countries, including France, Britain, Austria, Germany, Belgium, and Denmark. Notably, it presents prominent artists and their works, indicating a flourishing artistic movement that seeks to integrate personal creativity and craftsmanship with a deep appreciation for design aesthetics.
