Product details

What makes a stone a jewel? What makes a jewel priceless? And why do we desire expensive jewelry? In this brilliant account of how eight jewels have shaped the course of history, jeweler and scientist Aja Raden tells an original and often astonishing story about our unwavering addiction to beauty and the darker side of human desire. With sharp wit and a light approach, Raden weaves together history, science, and economics to explore our enduring love affair with beautiful things, showing us that jewels, just like their sparkling surfaces, have a unique power to reflect our desires and reveal who we truly are.
