Author: Jones, John

First printed, 1847; Reprinted in 1930 by the daughter of Dr. Garth Wilkinson. "A little-known yet remarkably erudite work which in effect is an essay tracing the development of jewelry from the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Arabians, Hebrews, and Chinese, through Mediaeval times in Europe.
