richly illustrated, the book provides thorough, detailed coverage of the full range of jensen’s jewelry. the contributors to the volume consider jensen in the context of american modernist jewelry, the significance of the international exhibitions and world’s fairs at which he first promoted his work, and the output of his company, where his own designs and those of current silversmiths working in related styles continue to be produced.
