Chic and engaging, this compact jewelry coffee table book featuring 100 photographs tells the history of the world through 101 iconic jewels. From ancient treasures to royal weddings, great heists to the red carpet, this book is a stunning, surprising, and glittering tour of historic turning points and gem-driven drama, delving into the passions and predilections of some of the world's most interesting and extraordinary people. This unique fashion history book covers:
- From Cleopatra to Meghan Markle How shiny stones and precious metals have determined empires, inspired expeditions and great crime, and been the communicator of status and ruin since ancient times.
- Detailed Historic Context Each moment is placed in relevant context, such as the insouciant story behind the brooch Jackie Kennedy famously wore to a 1962 State Dinner with the Shah of Iran.
- Engaging Parallels to Today: The similarities between Napoleon's gift to Marie Louise at the birth of their son and the modern push present.
- Archival Images and Gorgeous Jewel Photography: Stunning illustrations that make history come alive. Beautiful and informative, this jewelry history book is an essential read for history lovers, fashion, celebrity, and pop-culture followers, as well as passionate jewel hounds.
