Synopsis
Each of these areas has its own specific designs, and its own specific uses and symbolism attached to jewellery. Materials used include gold, silver and many types of gemstones, but also archaic materials such as leather, coral, beads, bone, teeth, and shells. In this lavishly illustrated book, more than 500 magnificent pieces are presented in colour, together with detailed descriptions. Authoritative texts are included about jewellery making, and the history, uses and designs from the various areas. These chapters are further illustrated with historical and contemporary photographs of jewellery being worn.
