I bought this book because it takes a look at jewelry throughout the ages starting with jewelry from the earliest ancient civilizations all the way to modern day jewelry. It shows how jewelry has evolved and the many different styles that were popular during certain time periods. This book is fascinating and really held my interest. It is loaded with beautiful color photographs and is well written and easy to read. It shows examples of the jewelry makers art from around the world and back to the dawn of time. If you love jewelry, you just might find this book fascinating too. I highly recommend this unusual and informative book.
Not only does the book have many pictures of jewelry from over the ages and a lot of them are in color, it also has a great deal of period history. The jewelry is sometimes shown being worn by the owner, which is very interesting. At times, there is a wonderful history on the piece, including whomever was the presenter of the item(s).
