A delightful book. . . . Unlike most books about jewelry, this actually shows a multitude of portraits of reigning monarchs, mostly male, but including four empresses. The crowd is mostly good-looking, covered in swaths of silk, brocade, and fur, and decked out in their finest examples of tiaras, chains and earrings.
