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.
