“Weina Dai Randel carves out a glittering historical fable as dazzling and dangerous as the enchanted diamond at its heart. On the remote snowy border between China and Russia, fifteen-year-old Anyu collides with a master jeweler and the priceless Fabergé egg in his care, setting into motion a chain of events that will propel her to untold heights and unimaginable dangers. Anyu remakes herself in Shanghai as a jeweler in her own right, but her success is shadowed by three men (a loving mentor, a shadowy gangster, a jealous rival) and three enemies (a secret society, a mad princess with twisted dreams of power, and the rising threat of war). Watching the clever Anyu negotiate her way through bomb-torn streets and gold-dusted workshops alike with nothing more than the skill in her fingers and a mysterious lucky diamond around her neck is a true delight. The Master Jeweler is a real gem!”—Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Briar Club

“The Master Jeweler is Weina Dai Randel’s best book yet. An unforgettable heroine, a relentless plot among the criminal rings of 1920s Shanghai, and prose that shines like a cut gem make this novel impossible to put down.”—Olivia Hawker, bestselling author of October in the Earth

“Once again, Randel brings together cultures and magnifies a slice of history, vividly portraying Shanghai’s competitive jewelry industry and the darkness beneath the glamour. This is an engrossing story about ambition, friendship, betrayal, and overcoming differences to redefine what it means to be a family. It will have you hooked from the beginning!”—Eve J. Chang, USA Today bestselling author of Daughters of Shandong
