The fascination of jewelry lies not only in its ability to delight the eye, but also in its capacity to express the full range of human emotions and ambitions: love, friendship, religious devotion, superstition, and dynastic pride. Renaissance jewelry is among the most fascinating manifestations of an era that saw the expansion of horizons, from the Old World to the New.
Yvonne Hackenbroch’s seminal and comprehensive work, Renaissance Jewelry, originally published in 1979, established her reputation as the world’s foremost expert in this field. Hackenbroch brings to this subject not only her expert knowledge and historical rigor, but also her storytelling passion for the beauty and power of jewelry. With the kind permission of Dr. Hackenbroch’s estate, Assouline has abridged Dr. Hackenbroch’s original text to produce this spectacular volume, brimming with luxurious images expressing the boundless creativity and infinite spirit of the Renaissance.
