Emeralds: Are a Girl's Best Friend

Summary: A Visual Feast!
Review: In this book about emeralds, large clear photographs present the natural beauty of the stones, along with the skill and imagination of the craftsmen who designed the pieces of jewelry. A bit is told about many of the pieces,from where they came,and who owned them. Surprise! Not all emeralds are in the classic shape and diamond-like cut that you may expect. Among the unusual pieces from all over the world,there are wonderful examples of Art Deco and other periods. I don't imagine that many of us will ever have the means to own any of these lovely emeralds, but seeing them at such a reasonable price is the next best thing!
