The history of the world--triumphs and tragedies, breakthroughs and breakups--through the iconic jewels that have inspired and influenced since the dawn of time.

From ancient treasures to royal weddings, great heists to the red carpet, this book is a stunning, surprising, and glittering tour of historic turning points and gem-driven drama, delving into the passions and predilections of some of the world's most interesting and extraordinary people.

Starting in the era of Cleopatra and continuing through to contemporary jewelry statements by Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, and Meghan Markle, Stellene Volandes tells the stories of how shiny stones and precious metals have determined empires, inspired expeditions and great crime, and been the communicator of status and ruin since ancient times. Each moment is placed in historic and relevant context, with Volandes drawing engaging parallels between Napoleon's gift to Marie Louise at the birth of their son and the modern push present or the insouciant story behind the brooch Jackie Kennedy famously wore to a 1962 State Dinner with the Shah of Iran. Illustrated with a mix of archival images and gorgeous photography of the jewels, this book is a beautiful, informative, and essential read for history lovers, fashion, celebrity, and pop-culture followers, as well as passionate jewel hounds.

Perfect !
Just as advertised, my elderly Mom loves these bedsure fleece fuzzy pajamas, the color is as shown, they washed up great, they are very thick and well made, they keep her very warm and are super soft ! The size was perfect too. She loves that the shirt has pockets, and although they fit her perfect, she wish the waist was drawstring.

Great pjs
I ordered a medium and it’s much too large for me! I gave it as gift to a family member. I’m 4’11”. And 105 lbs.. I love the softness and warmth of the pjs. My daughter loves them and medium is prefect for her. The quality of the material is wonderful and designed prefect the weight of the fabric is just right!

Worth every penny!!
Oh my god it’s SO LUXURIOUS! And WARM! And heavy in a good way! I feel like a queen, I feel so happy when I look at it when I run my hand across it, when I wrap up in it. It just is stunning and cozy and perfect. The twin size almost feels extra large because I sleep comfortably under it on my queen size bed, and so far- no shedding. I haven’t washed it yet but as you can see it didn’t need it to undo any vacuum sealing- super fluffy right out of the box and no chemical smell I just put it right on my bed! I got it on sale for $43 I believe, and personally I think that’s a steal. This feels like those $200 blankets everyone talks about.
