From the simple shell beads worn by Palaeolithic hunters to the
splendour of Renaissance gold work and the sumptuousness of Art
Nouveau enamels, here is a fascinating and informative guide to the
development of Western jewelry - concluding with the radical and
experimental developments in the last three decades. Offering a
concise survey of the entire field, this book analyses jewelry's
changing fashions, explores its social context, and examines how it
has been worn by both men and women. It shows how jewellers have
responded to new sources of gems, whether emeralds from the New
World or diamonds from South Africa, and to the discovery of metals
such as platinum and aluminium. Masterworks by unknown craftsmen
and pieces designed by individual artists as diverse as Holbein,
Pugin and Calder are illustrated alongside the glittering products
of the major jewelry houses.
