Emerald: Twenty-one Centuries of Jewelled Opulence and Power Hardcover – 25 Nov. 2013

Beautiful, qualitative, heavy coffee table book. I bought it as a gift. Great price in comparison with Assouline books.

Stunning and comprehensive journey through the history of this mesmerising gemstone, blending captivating visuals with rich historical insights.

I really enjoy every image and have a very informative text.

An excellent book about a gemstone that is about 200 times rarer than diamond (the price and demand for diamonds is only maintained by De Beers near monopoly position and huge advertising campaigns). This volume examines the gemmology, mining and wearing of emeralds. It is illustrated with some beautiful photographs of amazing gems and jewels. Whether you are a jeweller working with emeralds, a retailer selling emeralds or a wearer of emeralds, this book has something for you.

Beautiful and informative with a host of ravishing photographs. An important overview of how emeralds have been used in jewellery over the years.

Luscious book; simply gorgeous pictures. Was in my basket for ages but I finally treated myself - was not disappointed.

Beautiful book for beautiful stones

Good for the coffee table
