Antique Jewelry and Trinkets

"Antique Jewellery and Trinkets" is a fantastic guide to the history of jewellery and related crafts, exploring the development and variety of jewellery throughout the ages. This vintage book is ideal for those looking for an introduction to antique jewellery, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "In The Beginning", "Gold, Silver and Other Metals", "The Jeweller's Art", "Craftsmanship", "Guilds, and the Influence They Exercise", "The Engraver", "Prehistoric Ornaments", "Egyptian and Assyrian Jewellery", "Greek: Etruscan: Phoenician", "Celtic Gold", "Roman Art", "Anglo-Saxon Gold and Silver", "Gem-Cutting", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
