\nMichael and I wish you the best of success with it and look forward to seeing how it goes with your more recent and current projects. Just last night we were thinking of you , at a chamber concert in Amsterdam given by our friend the flautist Abbe de Quant . We were talking afterwards to the cellist and mentioned your name and he knows you from about 10 years ago, his name is Mick Stirling, he was fascinated to hear about your bow project and would be happy to contact you, his address is \u00a0mickstirling@xs4all.nl. tel 020 428 3947, mob 061548 2668. He is now Principal Cello in the Nederlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra.

Dear Andy,
\nI`ve picked up my set from the post office today.
\nSuch a BIG surprise! Thank you for all your efforts.
\nI do think that this publication will contribute to `The Contemporary Jewellery Design`s position in the World of Art and Design.
\nI`ve got two questions:
\n1. I`d like our Department of Industrial Design, METU Ankara – where I am currently teaching `Jewellery Beyond Tradition` courses,
\nto get a copy of this publication. How do we proceed?
\n2. For my future reference: In my first page the texts under the images are blurred. What should have been done to avoid this?
\nAll the Best,<\/p>\n

Hi Andy,<\/p>\n

I received my copy of the Jewelry Compendium in good condition. I put the two volumes side-by-side on my office table, where I can browse through them whenever I like. They are quite an experience. I’m finding that it’s difficult to be very casual, since the absence of facing pages on any one jeweler means I have to remember what was on the previous page for the next one to make sense. You’re demanding that I be attentive!
\nAnyway, congratulations on your wonderful book.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Peter Chang:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Andy and Suzy,
\nMany congratulations on the \u2018Compendium\u2019, what an achievement!! It already a stunning collector\u2019s item! Loved your bit at the back, wonder who the \u2018very important designer\u2019 is – could he live in Amsterdam?????
\nHow has the response been outside the contributors in terms of interest and most importantly \u2013 sales?
\nI tried to phone yesterday and left a message but suddenly thought you must both be off somewhere for a restful break and which I\u2019m sure you must both really need!
\nAny way. If you do ever come to Scotland and thus to Glasgow, you would both be most warmly welcomed.
\nWarmest wishes and thanks from Peter and myself.

Lieber Andy Lim,

\nvielen Dank f\u00fcr das Buch. Es ist heil angekommen und schnell auch. Es ist schon sehr imposant! Etwas scxhade finde ich die Seitenaufteilung, dass ein K\u00fcnstler nicht die nebeneinander liegenden Seiten hat. Das w\u00fcrde ein besseres und einheitlicheres Bild abgeben und es\u00a0dem aussenstehenden Betrachter erleichtern mit der vielen Information zurande zu kommen.\u00a0

Hi Andy and your beloved Suzy or
\nHi Suzy and your hopefully!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09\u00a0 beloved Andy,<\/p>\n

Today is a good day.
\nThe postman rang (once only, I was thankfully in).
\nI schlepped the heavy box up 3 flights of stairs.
\nHappily my groceries often seem heavier, so that was good too.
\nMy aim is to look at each page, so till now I got into the Bs of the 100+ jewelers.
\nThen curious I skipped to the ‚Making of‘ and had quite a few chuckles and head shaking!
\nHopefully I never ever think of myself or react as did those X, Y, Z examples!!
\nWith more time now than I had at the presentation at SCHMUCK I can savor it properly.
\nThe binding is beautifully executed with the little nudge out panels and underlying rubbery stoppers to prevent uncontrolled and premature slipping out of the bricks. I very much like the organized chaos and actually find it less chaotic than people feared it would be.<\/p>\n

Amazing that you managed it all is such a short time. Pat yourselves on the back for this maybe ‚unnecessary‘ compendium because, isn’t it the ‚unnecessary‘ things in life that are the most pleasurable?
\nThank you for a great initiative and standing steadfast even in the blasting of those overly important people whose egos who couldn’t re-mold your concept.
\nEven though you’re probably totally fed up with jewelers at this point, I do hope to see you again at some jewelry event or other!<\/p>\n

Warm greetings from Amsterdam,

\n Bonjour!
\n I received the „Compendium“, and proud to be on bord – I wanted to share some 1rsts impressions
\nOnly one year ago, in my diploma paper, I was wandering about how to disenclose (?) the small world of contemporary jewellers…
\nYour project then, simply appealled to me at first because of its innovative politics…
\nIn the book there are some very good presentations, some very good works;
\nthen pages wich the works I do not subscribe to,
\nand pages where self conceit outstands just as the weakness it is – precisely because presented between eclectic choice –
\nBut in the whole : a place 4 all!
\nSurely a step torward this new direction
\n( Also been enjoyin the „gossip“ chapter at the end of vol.2)
\nBut in the whole, this new direction is a big challenge, – because pretentious & elitist behaviour has nothing to do with quality of work-
\nBut then how & who can one really specify what’s a cntemporary jewel of quality?<\/p>\n

With my best regards
\nPaola Bernasconi<\/p>\n

PS. You write that most of the jewellers are german or dutch (because of the languages issued)…
\nand this -trought true in number- grieve me a little…because we\u00a0 (Swiss)(& in spite of works of quality..) seem to somehow lack the promoting „cultural space“ german and duth have been able to give themselves in this field…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dear Andy,
\nAfter having collected my copy of the compendium at IHM in Munich and dragged it home I immersed myself in it and am now an addict!
\nI just have to let you know how very happy I am to be in possession (and part) of such an extraordinary oeuvre. I am not that interested in my own pages (I know them by heart…) but in all the others‘ and in the book as a whole. It is astonishing and extraordinary how well everybody corresponds with his or her immediate „neighbours“ in the book. E.g. the young lady who precedes me has a collection of about 20 – 25 rings on her second page. On my first page there are 5 rings. It looks as if these two pages had been specially designed to harmonise and so does the whole book. As is we were all links of a very long chain. It being all just alphabetical coincidence makes it all the more astonishing.
\nAfter having met you and your lovely wife Suzie at IHM personally (at the JAC-stall, with Erico Nagai, and when collecting the book) the Compendium has changed from something abstract into something very personal to me. It’s great to know the people who are behind such an outstanding project and I would like to thank you very dearly for it and for your dedication to it. Of course my thanks have to be extended to Suzie who so patiently and swiftly answered all the e-mails and all the questions even the dumbest ones.
\nThere is now just one thing I would like to ask you. I’m burning to know whose pages have been designed by you. Could or would you name some of the jewellers for whom the layout has been designed by you, or is it confidential? It would be just so interesting to see your approach and the way you work.
\nIt would also be nice to have some information from you now and then to be able to follow your future projects.
\nI wish you and Suzie all the best and good luck for whatever is next on your agenda.
\nWith many thanks for your great work and kind regards<\/p>\n

It is great insight og international contemporary jewellery and it has been wonderful that so many artists from Latin America had rhe chance to participate in the project. Thank you for your effort and congratulations for the success. If you are ever interested to present it at the American Bookstore in Amsterdam, let me know. Suzy, nice to meet you.

dear Andy and Suzy,<\/p>\n

I just arrived „home“
\nCold cold snowy Norway,
\nWITH the biggest book ever, that I transported in my borrowed samsonite as hand luggage…
\nActually, when I was so stupid (but luckily not the only one..) that I didn’t say I wanted it shipped,
\nI thought,
\nwell thats it!
\nIts part of the game, the effort, the strain, the schock of the size of one book,
\nI’ll bring it home, and I will NOT ship it (as a matter of fact, I did not have time to do it, and to give that tassk to somebody else, seemed like a coward)
\nI’ve looked through,
\nand I’m amazed!
\nYou really managed! Just looking at it, in its amazing box, lying 14 kilo heavy on my table,
\nI think, man that’s just unbeliavable!
\nI’m happy I took part,
\nI’m happy that there excist people like you, who start and pull through projects like this.
\nHey I know you said this would be the last project, but honestly I can’t wait to your next!<\/p>\n

Lieber Herr Lim,
\ndas Buch konnte ich mir ja erst ,nachdem ich 14 kg nach Hause gewuchtet habe, anschauen – ich m\u00f6chte Ihnen noch schnell gratulieren! Das Buch ist h\u00f6chst am\u00fcsant, funktionell und informativ geworden – die Werkstatt wird Jahre darin schm\u00f6kern k\u00f6nnen.
\nLieben Dank und herzliche Gr\u00fc\u00dfe

Dear Andy,
\nMy name is Reip Chopin. I just received the book, you issued. I am very impressed by the highest quality and quantity of work. The same can be said of the books‘ size and weigh. Thank you very much.
\nI presume that Jerusalem academy of arts, „Bezalel“, as well as Tel Aviv institute of design, „Schenkar“ may be interested to have a book like that. The director of jewellery department at Bezalel heard about the book from me (it was pretty hard to show it) and is qurious about the price including postage for the organizations like mentioned above.
\nThank you again, looking forward to you reply
\nBest regards,

Lieber Andy, wollte nur mal ganz vorsichtig fragen wann Sie glauben ,dass der Compendium bei mir in M\u00fcnchen ankommt. Ich habe die zwei B\u00e4nde bei einer Freundin gesehen und war begeistert dass Sie es geschafft haben die vielen Goldschmieden unter einem Dach zu bringen. Bravo, und Herzlichen Gl\u00fcckwunsch zu den beiden B\u00e4nden, und vielen Dank f\u00fcr die Geduld. Ihre Mahrokh Beck<\/p>\n

Hallo Andy en Suzy.
\n\u00a0
\nDit mailtje had ik eigenlijk gisteravond willen sturen, maar ik wilde eerst even wat nakijken in het compendium.
\nDat even werd weer eens vele uren en toen ik op mijn horloge keek was het alweer twee uur in de nacht, de tijd was gevlogen en nog had ik lang niet alles gezien!. Ik raakte maar niet uitgekeken, elke keer was ik weer verbaasd, verrast, geschokt of moest ik lachen! Wat al die ontwerpers allemaal bedenken en hoe zij die bladzijden hebben vormgegeven!
\nKortom, wat een geweldig boek!
\nWat een prestatie van jullie om dit in goede banen te leiden!
\nWat een initiatief!
\nDit is even mijn eerste reactie, mede om jullie te complimenteren en te bedanken!
\n\u00a0
\nEn ik vind het heel leuk dat ik het al heb en dat vele anderen nog even geduld moeten hebben!
\n\u00a0

Dag Andy,
\nHebben de Pasen met het Compendium doorgebracht – licht spierpijn in m’n ‚omsla-arm‘ overgehouden. . . .
\nHet is echt een pracht-uitgave geworden; & buitengewoon verwarrend om zo veel, zo divers werk bij elkaar te zien. We zijn er nog lang niet klaar mee!<\/p>\n

Hi Andy,
\nI wanted to thank you for all your hard work and back and forth with e-mails. Your books are beautiful and I am honored to have pages in the Compendium with all the people whose work I have loved. While in Munich I bought Karl and Lisa’s books as well. It was so nice to meet you for a quick moment at the book pick up table. I always get a bit shy at these awesome events. So thank-you again and please keep making these incredible works of art.
\nAll my love,
