"This sumptuously illustrated book surveys the wealth, power, and prestige of 800 years of European monarchies in the form of the jewels that hung around their necks, were sewn into their clothing, and dripped from their fingers - often into the waiting hands of favored courtiers." "Beginning with the weighty, gem-encrusted gold crowns of medieval kings and ending with the glittering diamond tiaras of the princesses of the Belle Epoque, Royal. Jewels shows the exquisite range of gems worn by Europe's fabled monarchs." "Illustrated with exceptional photographs of the jewels themselves, as well as with evocative period paintings and vintage photographs of bejeweled monarchs and their families, Royal Jewels is the first book to gather together this unparalleled collection of jewelry - outstanding both in its quality and relevance to the social and cultural history of Europe and the Western world. The book will appeal to any lover of jewelry, fashion, or history."--BOOK JACKET.

From Margaret of Anjou to Katherine Parr, All the Queen’s Jewels examines the jewellery collections of the ten queen consorts of England between 1445–1548 and investigates the collections of jewels a queen had access to, as well as the varying contexts in which queens used and wore jewels. The jewellery worn by queens reflected both their gender and their status as the first lady of the realm. Jewels were more than decorative adornments; they were an explicit display of wealth, majesty and authority. They were often given to queens by those who wished to seek her favour or influence and were also associated with key moments in their lifecycle. These included courtship and marriage, successfully negotiating childbirth (and thus providing dynastic continuity), and their elevation to queenly status or coronation. This book explores the way that queens acquired jewels, whether via their predecessor, their own commission or through gift giving. It underscores that jewels were a vital tool that enabled queens to shape their identities as consort, and to fashion images of power that could be seen by their households, court and contemporaries. This book is perfect for anyone interested in medieval and Tudor history, queenship, jewellery and the history of material culture.

"The history of royal jewels told through the destiny of the queens who wore them." Serving as a resplendent symbol of regal power and grandeur, royal jewels have been treasured assets of monarchies for centuries. Whether hidden or flaunted, sold or stolen, the stories behind crown jewels mirror the history of the rise and fall of the world's most legendary families. In this stunning, lavishly illustrated volume, royalty expert Vincent Meylan draws readers into the fascinating tales of passion, mystery, adventure and intrigue that surround royal jewel caches, and shows what these dazzling treasures have meant to both the royals who wear them and the public that admires them. Beginning with the state of royal jewels today, Queens' Jewels looks back in time to chronicle the history--sometimes glamorous, sometimes gruesome--of the glittering regalia of monarchs in Russia, Iran and all across Western Europe. From the Bonapartes to the Romanovs to the Windsors, Queens' Jewels "recreates a mythical universe of which these jewels are the most powerful symbol, the silent witness of times of glory and times of tragedy."
