Pleasure of Jewelry and Gemstones, TheEntry/Object ID
L1993.8.27Description
The Pleasure of Jewelry and Gemstones starts with Antiquity, goes through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Neoclassical Age, the Victorian era, and up to today. Man has always worn some form of jewelry, and the need for self adornment would appear to be very deeply rooted. Jewelry has been associated with the four aspects of civilized life with which man has universally been most concerned: money, power, religion and love. All over the world, since earliest times jewelry has had religious significance and superstitious associations. The history of jewelry and its meaning to the individual as told in this book is very interesting.
