A book about Ramon Puig Cuyàs' 30 years of contemporary jewellery life. Until the first quarter of the 20th century, jewellery had been considered a lesser art, forming part of the decorative or applied arts. However, contemporary jewellery has broken these traditional schemes with artists such as Ramon Puig Cuyàs, who journeys through various walks of art.

Catalan goldsmith and jeweller; from 1977 until 2016, he was a professor of jewellery design and projects and teacher of history of modern jewellery at Barcelona's prestigious art school Massana, where he previously specialised from 1969 to 1974. Ramon Puig Cuyàs redefines jewellery conceived as an intellectual activity which fully partakes in the universal problems found in contemporary creation. Since the late 70's, he has curated and participated in numerous exhibitions; he has taught classes, given conferences and workshops in universities and jewellery schools, both in Europe and America; he has overseen numerous exhibitions in addition to being an advisor for jewellery shows in Barcelona, Pforzheim or Munich among others.
