This beautiful history of the art form begins with a liberal
discussion of fine jewelry's ancient history as exotic amulets and
symbolic ornaments, and proceeds to explain and profusely
illustrate developing trends in European jewelry as symbols to the
growing middle classes. The author shows jewelry examples from the
Italian Renaissance, Dutch seventeenth century, Baroque, all manner
of nineteenth century, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and the big-name
houses of Tiffany, Cartier and Philipps in the twentieth century.
Also, through many historical portraits of men and women, each
style is displayed as it was shown by the artists of their day. In
this one volume, more than 450 carefully selected jewelry creations
display the entire history of evolving styles. This is an important
reference and beautiful record of the jewelry our past generations
have known.
