"Splendor, drama and history are all captured in the most spectacular jewels in the world, each a summation of a jeweler's passion. The world's most renowned jewelers -- Chanel, Chaumet, Mikimoto, Van Cleef & Arpels and Verdura, to name a few -- share an obsession with the earth's most treausred materials: diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and pearls. A devotion to exacting the greatest beauty and allure from the gems resulted in exquisite, valuable jewels that quickly drew the attention of the regal and the elegant. ... A joy for collectors, Great Jewelry of the World also traces man's quest for gems, gold, platinum and more through time." (flap).
