Summary: Beautiful photos.
Review: The photos are stunning but the chapters are predictable, like in Mrs. Childers' 3 previous books. Why not explain a bit more about the other Haute Joaillerie Houses like, Mellerio dits Meller, Buccellati, JAR and their distinctive and highly original styles. Maybe an idea for the next edition? The photos of European royalty and their US "counterparts" are very nice and one recognises certain highly publicised items like, for instance Jackie O's famous "moon"-earrings and Princess Diana's tiara. All in all, a nice book for a nice price if it's merely (very) easy reading you want.

Summary: Feast for the Eyes!!
Review: This book is a wonderful feast of photos of the worlds best and most famous jewelry - including profiles of some of the owner's such as Jackie Kennedy, Queen Elizabeth, Princess Diana, etc. One of the most beautiful books on jewelry that I have encountered.Caroline
