This wide-ranging book is written by an internationally renowned jewelry historian. It looks at the history of jewelry from the Pre-Bronze Age Balkans through Egypt, Greece, and Rome. It then considers the Medieval European and Islamic worlds, the opening up of trade with trade between East and South America and the European Renaissance. Finally, the books considers the profound changes in the jewelry industry during the Industrial Revolution and in the Victorian Era, culminating in ornaments of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods. The study closes with World War II, but then presents the reader with some provocative thoughts on jewelry in the twenty-first century.
