A delightful book loaded with photographs of the jewelry collection from The Victoria and Albert Museum of Design in London, UK. The featured jewelry spans some 500 years so this book is a great resource for those who wish to learn more about the history of jewelry making and changing designs and techniques. Other useful resources include sections on hallmarks and the materials used.
Excellent and compact history of jewelry. Only for those really interested in the subject.
