Georgian Jewellery is a celebration of the style and excellence of
the eighteenth century, and of the ingenuity that produced such a
wealth of fabulous jewellery. Heavy academic tomes have already
been written about the period, but this book examines it in a more
colourful and accessible way. The book aims to show that Georgian
jewellery is not only the stuff of museums and safe boxes, but that
it can be worn as elegantly and fashionably today as it was 200
years ago. Much disparate information about the jewellery has been
gathered together and the period is brought alive by portraits and
character sketches of famous Georgians in their finery, fashion
tips, gossip, and some rather outrageous cartoons of the time, as
well as fascinating recently discovered facts. With information on
how to identify, buy and repair pieces, this sumptuously
illustrated volume contains the largest single catalogue of 18th
Century jewellery.
