Renaissance Jewels: A Treasure Trove by ASSOULINE

The allure of jewels lies not merely in their aesthetic appeal, but also in their capacity to convey a spectrum of human emotions and aspirations—love, camaraderie, religious fervor, superstition, and familial pride. Renaissance jewels stand as some of the most captivating symbols of an era marked by the expansion of established boundaries, from the Old World to the New. Dr. Yvonne Hackenbroch's seminal and exhaustive work, 'Renaissance Jewellery', published initially in 1979, solidified her status as the world's leading authority in the field. Hackenbroch brings to the subject not only her specialized knowledge and historical rigor, but also a storyteller's enthusiasm for the jewels' beauty and might. Courtesy of Dr. Hackenbroch's estate, Assouline has condensed her original text to create this magnificent volume, replete with opulent imagery that embodies the overflowing creativity and boundless spirit of the Renaissance period.
