Eighteen magnificent jewelry collections are shown in clear, vibrant photos of the actual pieces, along with photos of their owners wearing them. For many centuries the collecting of precious gems and the jewelry fashioned from them was for kings and queens. But in the last hundred years, movie stars, opera singers, and rock stars have joined those with the means to deck themselves in glittering bracelets, rings, necklaces and earrings. See collections belonging to Barbara Hutton, Ava Gardner, Mary Pickford, the Duchess of Windsor, Helena Rubinstein, and others. A fascinating book!
