This book begins with an introduction to the history and evolution of jewelry, then focuses on the different materials used to make it. The jewelry designs are beautifully presented and photographed, some are very peculiar. A description is given for each piece pictured, including the designer's inspiration and the materials used. This is an interesting and informative book whether or not you design or make jewelry and can serve as a how-to guide for those who aspire to design or make jewelry.
