For centuries the fabled wealth of India, its gold and gems, brought to the land both merchants and invaders, establishing a tradition of legendary riches that has spanned five thousand years. A Jewelled Splendour provides a brief historical overview of India's jewels, describing not only courtly jewellery, but those worn by rural and tribal people as well. Lavishly illustrated with colour photographs, including museum pieces, this book encapsulates one of India's greatest achievements. India's cultural expression is varied in style as well as form, a kaleidoscope formed by the sheer size of the country, its myriad religions, races, beliefs, customs and histories. This series is a tribute to the tradition and continuity of India's culture, as well as its constant evolution.
