The Necklace
Somewhere between jewelry and body adornment, the necklace offers perhaps the most exciting decorative possibilities of any article of personal display. What is worn around the neck cannot be ignored - unlike the more discreet charms of ear and finger decoration - and the necklace as an emblem of wealth, status and proclivity has been shaped and reshaped through the centuries by successive fashions, techniques and materials, from the Egyptian broad collar and the Celtic gold torc, to the diamond sautoirs of the 1920s and the exuberant creations of the liberated sixties. The major part of this book is devoted to the necklace in the 19th and 20th centuries, as theses are the most acessible to the potential buyer and collector.

Earrings
Daniela Mascetti and Amanda Triossi, both experts from Sotheby's, are themselves under the spell of earrings, and their erudition does not disguise that this book is as much a romance as a fine piece of art-historical research. The authors relate how the fashion of wearing precious earrings spread from ancient Egypt to the Classical Greek and Roman worlds to Byzantium. Techniques in the cutting of gemstones and diamonds, perfected in the eighteenth century, allowed earring design to evolve towards its most stylish and glamorous, and the book covers every period and style up to the present.
