Living Jewels is a delightful collection of awe inspiring jewelry. The artists and the craftsmen. I have used this book as a reference with my vintage jewelry collection. The book covers exquisite pieces from around the world, coral, horn, shell, wood & other exotica. Ruth Peltason is a wellspring of information. There are 350 illustrations. A must have for anyone interested in precious jewels. The book is in like new condition, lovingly cared for. Enjoy.
