Description
|
|
|
|
Abundantly illustrated with 329 color photographs of stunning metalwork, gemstones, works of art, and jewelry wearers, this book surveys 5,000 years of jewelry, from ancient Egyptian diadems to the diamond-set tooth of musician Mary J. Blige. Jack Ogden, a world authority on the historical development of jewelry and the head of the Gemmological Association of Great Britain, considers art, history, and craft in his explanation of how jewelry forms developed, how expanding trade introduced increasing varieties of gems, and how technological advances influenced design.
