Whenever one watches the Us Secretary of State Madeleine Albright on TV, one cannot but notice her extravagant jewellery. Few people realise, however, that the restrained beauty of this jewellery is often invested with an unmistakable message: After the Iraqi press portrayed her as a she met with Iraqi officials. During the difficult Middle East peace talks, a dove of peace adorned her shoulder and watched over the proceedings. Mrs Albright employs her diplomacy, a weapon barred to men. 61 artists from 16 countries responded to the challenge suggested by Helen Drutt from Philadelphia, to create highly individual brooches themed with Albright's strategic use of adornment. The results are a glittering show of jewellery covering a wide spectrum of shapes, materials and meaning. Each artist interpreted the challenge in a different way. While some boldly emphasized thier political meassage, others choose a more oblique presentation.

Pins were not as attractive as I thought I observed when I saw her wearing them. I saw her on TV and in print. Most were unappreciated by me due to the materials and craftsmanship. I guess I was expecting Harry Winston's. Not.

4.0 out of 5 stars Negotiation - the Power of Jewels
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2009
Verified Purchase
The book is comprised of the designs of 61 artists from 16 countries who responded to the challenge suggested by Helen Drutt from Philadelphia, to create highly individual brooches themed with Albright's strategic use of adornment. Each interpreted the challenge individually...some boldly emphasized their political message, others choose a more subtle presentation.

While looking through the wonderful, imaginative and, in some instances, whimsical brooches in this book, I found myself arguing and even giggling at the brooches and their descriptions. Several of these pieces are not intended to be worn and in some cases the presentation box is as interesting as the pin.

Cudos Helen - what a great idea and fitting tribute to an important woman!
