7000 Years of Jewellery Paperback – 3 April 2006

I studied Middle Eastern burials and this book went into Queen Pu abi treasures.I would have liked to have seen more examples of neolithic styles and early examples. But really liked the clear photos and it's a lovely book with good narrative.

This book covers thousands of years of jewellery making. Beautiful photographs which are not only wonderful to look at but inspiring to those interested in making their own jewellery. The text is clear, describes processes and history and you can dip into the book at any random page and instantly be fascinated.

This is a lovely book which beautifully reveals how jewellery has changed over the years. There are lots of photographs which are good quality and the text compliments them well. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone with an interest in jewellery or history

Great illustrations and although it is impossible to cover 7000 years of jewellery in any real depth, this gives a good go. A great starting point for costume designers and jewellers researching historical design.

Covers all cultures, a well thought out book. I was only going to give it 4stars as I could have done with more Egyptian and Roman because I make jewellery from these type of beads, but that would have been churlish. Would definately recommend.

book it self is a good book and as it was a gift she was delighted..the cover was not to good,very dull and the corners were ear marked.the book inside was perfect.i sent it back to Amazon,but they let me keep the book and made me a full refund.i did not buy it second hand so it was a bit disappointing for a new book.Amazon were very good and refund within a few days.

I bought this for my friend for her birthday as she's started an evening course in jewellery making. I was so pleased with the book; beautiful pictures and an interesting insight into the history of jewellery design.

This book is not only crammed with content its very intresting to read. From early Jewellery to moden day. Anyone intrested in Jewellery should buy this and i ahve learned a few new things from this.
