abstract: The Van der Star collection of ethnic jewellery brings together masterpieces from Africa, the Arab world, India, Central and Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Islands. Each of these areas has its own individual designs and specific uses and symbolism attached to the jewellery. Materials used include gold, silver, and many tipes of gemstones, but also more everyday materials such as leather, coral, beads, bone, teeth and shells. In this book, more than 500 pieces are presented in colour, together with detailed descriptions. Texts are included about jewellery making and the history, uses and designs from the various areas. Each chapter is further illustrated with historical and contemporary photographs that show the jewellery being worn.--From publisher description.
