Traditional Jewelry of Nineteenth-Century Europe by Jane Perry Pdf

"Although less well-known today, European jewellery - jewellery worn with traditional or national costume - was highly fashionable in nineteenth-century Britain. This book draws together a wide selection of beautiful pieces, originating from across the continent - from Iceland in the north to Cyprus off the shores of Asia - to demonstrate the wonderful variety of this jewellery. Spectacular examples include gilded Norwegian wedding crowns and extravagant golden crosses of Normandy, ornate earrings of Spain and Italy, and imposing filigree clasps from the Balkans. The book illustrates how the jewellery was originally worn with traditional dress, and explores its popularity in the nineteenth century."--

Brilliant Europe by Diana Scarisbrick,Christophe Vachaudez,Jan Walgrave Pdf

Jewels play an important symbolic role. At the courts of Europe, where dynasties were closely interrelated for centuries, they were signs of status, wealth and power. The strict rules for wearing them are evidence of sophisticated codes, in Portugal and in Sweden, in the United Kingdom and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Brilliant Europe evokes more than 800 years of the history of jewelry in Europe. The 230 selected jewels and works of art are outstanding both in their exceptional quality and in their relevance to the social and cultural history of Europe. Many of them belonged to people who made a significant contribution to European history or to the development of European thought.

Medieval Jewellery by Marian Campbell Pdf

"Jewellery has always been of central importance to all human societies, but medieval jewellery is relatively less well-known. This book draws on the important collection at the V&A to focus on the heart of the medieval period from 1100 to 1500. The jewellery worn in medieval Europe was important as an indicator of the wearer's social status and wealth, faith and superstition, allegiances and literacy. Royalty and the nobility wore gold, silver or precious gems, the costliest jewellery, while humbler ranks wore base metals, copper or pewter, sometimes set with coloured glass, in imitation of gems. The themes of love, religion and magic inspired the creation of much medieval jewellery. Gems were chosen for their colour, size and the magical or healing powers they were widely believed to bestow upon their wearers. Until late in the Middle Ages gems were not faceted, but simply polished. Sapphires, pearls, garnets and amethysts were popular, rubies the most highly prized. This richly illustrated book looks at the jewels themselves and contemporary portraits and sculpture to place the jewellery in its cultural context." --Book Jacket.
