description: Text by Beatriz Chadour-Sampson and Sandra Hindman. Foreword by Diana Scarisbrick 2020 Fully illustrated, in English, 116 pages This book includes sixteen remarkable jewels from the Renaissance and Baroque eras, primarily dating from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Renaissance jewelry of this quality and artistry is quite rare (some of these pieces survive as the only example of their kind) because it was so often altered with the changing of fashion or melted down in the event of financial hardship.
