Thames & Hudson Emerald: Twenty-one Centuries of Jewelled Opulence and Power

I really enjoy every image and have a very informative text.

An excellent book about a gemstone that is about 200 times rarer than diamond (the price and demand for diamonds is only maintained by De Beers near monopoly position and huge advertising campaigns). This volume examines the gemmology, mining and wearing of emeralds. It is illustrated with some beautiful photographs of amazing gems and jewels. Whether you are a jeweller working with emeralds, a retailer selling emeralds or a wearer of emeralds, this book has something for you.

It is a grand and beautiful book on Emeralds. The description was perfect and the delivery as promised. JP

Simply gorgeous. Beautiful, clear photographs, interesting background on many of the jewels and their iconic owners. A must for anyone who loves emeralds and the fabulous jewelry houses that created works of art as well as the history of emeralds. A necessity in any jewelry library.

BEAUTIFUL BOOK AND ALSO BOOK AUTHOR WROTE ON RUBY. WAITING FOR SAPPHIRE!
