Book review: Tiaras a History of Splendour
Tiaras a History of Splendour
by Geoffrey C. Munn
This book took my breath away…..
Words cannot describe the beauty of Tiaras a History of Splendour by Geoffrey C. Munn. Munn, a leading jewelry expert in England, has written a magnificent history of the tiara. What makes this book so superb are the over 400 phenomenal illustrations that feature the tiara, the original jeweler’s sketches and often a photograph of the owner and subsequent generations wearing the tiara.
Munn’s book is a pleasure to read and thought provoking, you’ll want to know more about the women that wore these beautiful creations. This book is lush and sumptuous and would be of interest to anyone interested in fashion history or the history of jewels and jewelry.
Don’t miss it!
