ISBN-13: 978-1851774234 An excerpt from the inside front cover "This book presents the traditional jewellery of Nepal, Tibet, and the Himalayas in all its splendor, and tells the fascinating stories of trade, conquest, faith and fortune that lie behind it. The jewellery of the region has an extraordinary visual impact, with its vibrant combination of gold and silver and turquoise, coral, amber and pearls, elements of which were traded from countries far distant from the Himalayas." KatieO Reviews It!
This is a great book with beautiful examples of traditional jewelry from Tibet, Nepal, and the Himalayas. There are great chapters on their history and culture, and symbolism and beliefs. It is also has great photographs. I love this book!!
