Description
A treasure trove of forgotten stories about jewels throughout history by internationally renowned jewellery expert, Carol Woolton.
If Jewels Could Talk: Links Through Time delves into the history, cultural significance, and eclectic trivia of jewellery. As a jewellery historian, jewellery editor at British Vogue, and now podcast host, Carol Woolton is uniquely qualified to take us on a whistlestop tour through history via seven items of jewellery: hoops, rings, beads, charms, brooches, cuffs, and head ornaments.
Weaving in examples from cultures around the world, Carol will uncover fascinating stories about Viking silver torques, Imperial jade in China, sixteenth-century Posy rings, organic gems, snake motifs, Roman cameo carving, Hindu wedding jewellery, Etruscan gold, Ancient Greek coins, piercings, Wedding pigs in China, tiaras, and anklets - to name but a few.
A beautiful and illuminating gift for any jewellery lover, If Jewels Could Talk shines a light on all that glitters and more.
