This Christmas there seem to be more jewellery books to choose from than previous years, which is a very good thing in the current back and forth between freedom and long spells on the sofa during lockdowns. Here is a selection of tomes that will appeal to the jewellery lover with plenty of time for some in-depth reading. I have included titles with both a historical or scientific angle as well as those accompanying exhibitions around the world. Each of these books offers both a good read as well as sufficiently satisfying amount of beautiful photographs. And to make it easier to find the perfect jewellery book gift or simply to help treat yourself, I have made suggestions as to who might like these different books.
‘Once Upon a Diamond’ is the work of Prince Dimitri of Yugoslavia, grandson of Prince Regent Paul and Princess Olga of Yugoslavia and a relative of the sprawling web of Russian, Greek and Italian royalty. He has dedicated his life to jewellery and was formerly senior vice president of jewellery at Sotheby’s as well as the founder of his own jewellery brand. Prince Dimitri’s pedigree makes him one of the best placed people to take us deep into the world of the aristocracy on the cusp of the Russian Revolution. In this wide-ranging tome, with the subtitle, ‘a family tradition of royal jewels’ Prince Dimitri shares previously unseen family photo albums belonging to the Grand Duchess Elena of Russia as well as a catalogue of the legendary collection of jewels of the leading women of the European and Russian courts. Think of it as a ‘who’s who’ and ‘who owned what’ of jewellery during one of the most extravagant periods of jewellery creation tinged with the frisson of peeking behind the scenes. The final section is dedicated to his own jewellery designs. This book is perfect for lovers of history, fans of Russian jewellery and anyone who is curious about what life was like in the royal courts during one of the most opulent periods of history.
