Written with knowledge, authority and passion - a sumptuous account of Imperial jewellery
27. Oktober 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Prince Michael of Greece, the author, is not only a descendent of Russian Grand Duchess but a well known writer and passionate lover of jewellery. So who else could be better than him to present this marvellous book on the Imperial Families love of jewellery? The starts with Catherine the Great and shows how the style developed from an almost medieval into a mature conception of ultimate luxury by the time the Romanov dynasty was swept away. He traces the history of the most important pieces during and after the Romanov reign. It is a fascinating account, wonderful pictures of the members of the Imperial family in all their splendour and above all superb pictures of the jewellery. However, the most touching and intimate of pictures of all I believe is the one of the last Czarevitch with his mother, he playing with her priceless pearls.
The sumptuous account of the Romanov Dynasty and the evolution of its taste in jewellery are written with knowledge, authority and passion. This is a great book to have for all who are interested in jewellery, in the Romanovs or just loving wonderful books

wirklich ein "Schatzbuch", sehr gute Fotos, viele Abbildungen von Gemälden und Fotos aus der Zeit. Korrekte Informationen zu den Preziosen und den dargestellten Personen. Ein sehr sachkundiger Autor, trotzdem keine trockene Lektüre.

Gorgeous
16. November 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I never write reviews but I received this book last night and felt inspired to speak up. This is probably one of the most beautiful books I have ever seen. I devoured it immediately and stayed up late to do it. I was shocked when I got to the end and checked the clock.
The entire book is in color, the jewels are shown close up and at times in portraits so you can have an image of how they would have looked or been arranged with other pieces.
The book is arranged in chronological order by monarch starting with Catherine the Great through post revolution times, though that material is understandably short. The portraits are typically full page and so beautifully rendered you can almost smell the paint. The paper is of a really high quality, heavy with a nice sheen making the book that much more beautiful.
It also offers quite a bit of interesting information about where the jewelry has ended up after the revolution and the history of the family. It's not an in-depth history, but that was never the purpose. It does offer some interesting tidbits and trivia. The author is clearly passionate about the topics which is infectious and makes you want to keep reading. The pictures almost always have captions that are very informative. If you don't want to really read but just enjoy the photos, you can easily do that and still gather quite a bit of information without being overwhelmed with text.
If you are at all interested in the subject matter, this is worth every penny. It's absolutely stunning. I believe there is one about the British crown jewels by Prince Michael of Greece by the same publisher as well. I'm going to go find out!

IMPERIAL JEWELS
21. November 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Very well done book on the crown Jewels of the czar's. The text is light and interesting, not too indepth and the images are supurb. I saw many of the crown jewels in Houston during the traveling exhibit on the imperial treasures of the Kremlin, I was blown way by the beauty of the Faberge peices and the imperial crown of diamonds and Sable that Peter the Great wore, this book is a great deal like the book I bought at the museum on that trip, it was a Russian book and was fantastic, this one is just as good. At any rate, I highly recommend this book. If you appreciate Russian culture or just the beauty of fine jewlery, then I cant imagine you not being pleased with this book.

"Jewels of the Tsars" is a collectible treasure!
23. November 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Everything about "Jewels of the Tsars" is a class act. This is a beautifully-bound volume using the finest heavy glossy paper. The hundreds of photographs are ideally lit and enlarged for maximum impact and enjoyment of precious details. Many of the paintings and photographs are rarely seen and so lovely. This is more than a coffee table book, it is a precious gift, a collectible. The copy is accurate and very well-written by Prince Michael of Greece. No detail from cover to cover has been ignored. This is a labor of love. I highly recommend "Jewels" to everyone who loves Russia, history, and exquisitely crafted jewels as a person treasure or a gift. Vendome Press obviously used "Jewels" as it's vehicle to produce a jewel of its own. It's worth twice the price.
