WOW! If you are interested in jewelry, you MUST have this book. A fascinating discourse on jewelry and the women who love it!
awesome jewelry collections! as a collector and wearer of gem stone jewelry, this book caught my attention. the photographs of the collectors and their jewels did not disappint. i would recommend this to any serious jewelry lover.
Highly recommended... ...for everybody who loves great jewellery.
The books provides both, interesting information about jewellery and gorgeous pictures. It shows the treasure chests of collectors from the aristocracy, society as well as from stars of the stage (both movie and opera). Although I'm particularly interested in noble jewels, it's the mix of collections in this book I really appreciate.
It's always a pleasure to read and look. My book hasn't found yet the way to the bookshelf - it's still right to my hand on the table...
ICE I really enjoyed this book, the images are crisp and the text is fascinating. The people in this book live for their jewels and many of them, particularly the Duchess of Windsor, had impeccable taste. Some of the pieces are just stunning, and the background on the collectors is most interesting. I highly recommend this book to anyone with any interest in beautiful jewelry.
Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend This book is wonderfull, the jewelry is wonderfull. It renews my faith that at one time people with money DID have some taste. This book is well worth the money spent.
