The Power of Love: Jewels, Romance and Eternity

Beatriz Chadour-Sampson masterfully guides her readers through the western history of jewelry from Antiquity to today. The jewelry industry has excelled at creating a mystique around its creations for a long time. To her credit, Ms. Chadour-Sampson keeps her narrative accessible to a wide audience, who is not necessarily well versed with all the more technical aspects of the jewelry industry. Perhaps most importantly, the book is beautifully illustrated with many close-ups of exquisite pieces of jewelry in color. Some images show who wore them previously. In summary, this book will appeal to men and women either in search of inspiration for a future gift or simply in admiration of the expressions of love that have driven their creation.

Beautifully curated. Photos of the jewels are luscious. Text is interesting and not overly technical.
