Details
Although less well-known today, European jewellery
worn with traditional or national costume was
highly fashionable in nineteenth-century Britain. This
book draws together a wide selection of beautiful pieces,
originating from across the continent from Iceland in the
north to Cyprus off the shores of Asia to demonstrate the
wonderful variety of this jewellery. Spectacular examples
include gilded Norwegian wedding crowns and extravagant
golden crosses of Normandy, ornate earrings of Spain and
Italy, and imposing filigree clasps from the Balkans. The
book illustrates how the jewellery was originally worn
with traditional dress, and explores its popularity in the
nineteenth century.
