Showcasing jewels and bringing them to life, the stories in this very different type of jewellery book are an intriguing blend of art, science, history and psychology, tracing the lives of jewels and all those connected to them. Spanning different time periods and design eras, the narrative and beautiful illustrations allow us into the private lives of those who have loved and lost jewellery, who have owned and treasured, commissioned, created, given and received it, and who have marked the most memorable moments of their lives with it. Coming directly from the Christie’s salerooms, these stories have never been shared publicly before, and all of them are true.
