"Balances gorgeous photographs against technical insight into the jewelry making process. Explores enamelling, a niche topic within the broad subject of Indian jewelry. Jewellry plays an important part in the everyday lives, important moments, festivals and religious aspects of Indian culture. It is not only girls and women who wear jewelry, but also boys, men, temple statues and even animals. The book excels in its detailed descriptions, which accompany the sumptuous array of images. We discoverwhy enamel is used in the north of India, the origin and significance of gold, the significance of setting gems in a certain order, and jewellery's spiritual importance. Thebook covers in detail the meaning of the use of flowers and birds in Hindu influenced jewelry, looking through theeyes of 17th century European travellers who visited the rich Mogul courts. This publication is the result of 35 years of research - traveling, studying, and talking to many people across the entire subcontinent of India, as well as having had unprecedented access to goldsmiths and enamellers; being shown techniques known only to one family, which have been transferred from generation to generation; and being granted access to beautiful and never before seen Royal collections"--Publisher's description.
