A wee treat to myself for Christmas 🎄
I studied Middle Eastern burials and this book went into Queen Pu abi treasures. I would have liked to have seen more examples of neolithic styles and early examples. But really liked the clear photos and it's a lovely book with good narrative.

Great illustrations and although it is impossible to cover 7000 years of jewellery in any real depth, this gives a good go. A great starting point for costume designers and jewellers researching historical design.

Great All-round Book!
Covers all cultures, a well thought out book. I was only going to give it 4stars as I could have done with more Egyptian and Roman because I make jewellery from these type of beads, but that would have been churlish. Would definately recommend.

A lovely book
This is a lovely book which beautifully reveals how jewellery has changed over the years. There are lots of photographs which are good quality and the text compliments them well. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone with an interest in jewellery or history

Please with my purchase!
I bought this for my friend for her birthday as she's started an evening course in jewellery making. I was so pleased with the book; beautiful pictures and an interesting insight into the history of jewellery design.

Edición de muy buena calidad con muy buenas fotos. El texto lo estoy empezando a leer, pinta bien! Estudio joyería como hobbie y me parece un recurso muy interesante para consulta y para alucinar con lo que eran capaces de hacer hace siglos.
