About this product
Product Information
Can you tell the history of the world - its highs and lows, its breakthroughs and breakups, its triumphs and tragedies - in jewellery? From ancient treasures to royal weddings, great heists to the red carpet, this book by renowned jewellery expert and author Stellene Volandes is a stunning, surprising, and glittering tour of historic turning points and gem-driven drama, delving into the passions and predilections of some of the world's most interesting and extraordinary people. Starting in the era of Cleopatra and continuing through to recent jewellery statements by Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, and Meaghan Markle, Volandes tells the stories of how shiny stones and metals have determined empires, inspired expeditions and great crime, and have been the communicator of status and ruin since the dawn of time. Each moment is placed in historic and relevant context, with Volandes drawing engaging parallels between Napoleon's gift to Marie Louise at the birth of their son and the modern push present or the insouciant story behind the broach Jackie Kennedy famously wore to a 1962 State Dinner with the Shah of Iran. Illustrated with a mix of archival images and gorgeous photograph of the jewels, this book is a beautiful, informative, and essential read for history lovers, fashion, celebrity and pop culture followers, as well as passionate jewel hounds.

- a***x (265)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseAs usual, this seller is completely trustworthy: the book was as described, terrific value, arrived very swiftly from America, well packaged and safe. It was an old library book, but in great condition and appearance, and there can be no criticism, simply thanks and praise for a job well done.
- c***r (530)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook as specified (and in good condition), fast delivery (from USA to UK), and a reasonable price for the book. The book appears to have been procured and shipped via a third party. One point of constructive criticism: I feel it would be helpful to try to work with the associate book-selling businesses (third party shippers) that you work with, to ensure that higher-value books are shipped in better quality packaging, and in particular, cardboard packaging.
