Silvia Malaguzzi is Italian art historian, who lives in Florence, Italy. Though she is scientist she uses her knowlege about history of art to make beautiful jewelry. Mostly she makes egyptian broad collar. In Egyptian culture it has important and magnificent significance which gave her the inspiration to translate this into modern day fashion.
Sometimes i got questions where its possible to learn bead embroidery to make beautiful jewelry in this technique. There are several nice books about this type of art with nice colourful pictures and useful master classes from famous beaders. I think these books are really must have.
