Eternal Jewels celebrates the World Jewellery Museum's 20th anniversary, inviting readers into the poetic vision of founder Lee Kangwon. Published here for the first time, the book presents extraordinary pieces alongside Lee's untold stories from her diplomatic travels across four continents.
I edited the biographical stories that feature in this beautiful edition, telling her days of being a South Korean diplomat's wife across the world. We wanted the design to reflect her amazing journey and the contents of the museum without it feeling like a catalogue. Matt Wilson's design executed the plan perfectly.
