"This sumptuously illustrated book surveys the wealth, power, and prestige of 800 years of European monarchies in the form of the jewels that hung around their necks, were sewn into their clothing, and dripped from their fingers - often into the waiting hands of favored courtiers." "Beginning with the weighty, gem-encrusted gold crowns of medieval kings and ending with the glittering diamond tiaras of the princesses of the Belle Epoque, Royal. Jewels shows the exquisite range of gems worn by Europe's fabled monarchs." "Illustrated with exceptional photographs of the jewels themselves, as well as with evocative period paintings and vintage photographs of bejeweled monarchs and their families, Royal Jewels is the first book to gather together this unparalleled collection of jewelry - outstanding both in its quality and relevance to the social and cultural history of Europe and the Western world. The book will appeal to any lover of jewelry, fashion, or history."--BOOK JACKET.
