SYNOPSIS: Learn about the history of jewelry as it parallels the history of mankind. Jewelry has long been used to protect against harm, for ceremonial occasions, or to symbolize wealth. Here is a chronicle of the jewels themselves, their relation to costume and fashion, and their reflection of changing social values. Over 400 photographs and illustrations complete the narrative.
