Condition: New

This richly illustrated book covers one of the most fascinating yet poorly documented periods of jewellery design. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was a group of young, rebellious artists whose work reflected their deeply romantic private lives. This remarkable and carefully researched book traces the stories behind jewels designed by these artists, often right back to the original drawings. Many new discoveries are featured. As many as 30 designs appear for which no jewel has yet been traced. 103 color illustrations, 141 black and white illustrations.
