| Title: A World of Belts: Africa, Asia, Oceania, America |
| Author: Anne Leurquin |
| Edition Year: 2004 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Gems and Jewellery |
| Language: English |
| Translatedby: Isabel Ollivier |
| Abstract: This book on belts and cache-sexe is the latest addition to the series of works on the remarkable Ghysels collection of rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first specific publication on this subject. Admittedly, most cache-sexe lack any great aesthetic value and until very recently were regarded as purely of ethnographic interest. But to relegate them all to such a status would be to overlook those that deserve to take their place alongside other items of traditional finery and play their role in beautifying the body. |

| Author: Anne Van Cutsem and Mauro Magliani |
| Edition Year: 2005 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Gems and Jewellery |
| Language: English |
| Translatedby: Isabel Ollivier |
| Abstract: This book is a magnificent Ghysels collection of ethnic jewellery. The most precious part of the body, the head, attracts the gaze of all. At times deformed, scarred, tattooed, crowned, plumed or pierced, over time it became the main setting for the body spectacle it had to protect. Most peoples accord particular care to hair, the site of the site of a vital force. Long, plaited or raised into a chignon, hair is also adorned with various accessories. Aiming to impose upon their subjects or impress their enemies, chiefs and warriors, whether African or from the archipelagos of the southern seas, would adorn their heads with fine feathers. |

| Title: Decora: Ornamental Motifs of the World |
| Author: Kenshiro Takami |
| Edition Year: 1991 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Gems and Jewellery |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is probable that what is generally called modern design was born from the negation of all ornamentation. The path taken by Modern design was a search for another principle to replace that of ornamentation. It is in this context that the words of adolf loos, condemning ornamentation as a crime, have always been quoted. The course followed by Modern design in pursuit of a new age deserves to be judged on its merits. There is no denying the fact that it gave birth to a pleasant spatial expanse in the life of man, nor did anyone ever entertain any doubts about this. |

| Author: |
| Edition Year: 1997 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Gems and Jewellery |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is about Jadeite jewellary. Jadeite of different qualities may display similar skins because they are weathered in similar conditions, but tell tale signs allow the experienced buyer to make judgments about quality. Stones found among white clays on mountainous slopes develop white sand skins. If material is extremely transparent the skin is sharp, while a soft crumbly feeling means that the material within is opaque and of poor quality. Also important is the location of the mine. There are certain famous mines within the mining cities of Pakan and Kanti they are known to produce rough of good quality. |

| Abstract: Turquoise....the name conjures up visions of blue, deep blue, sky blue, greenish blue, with the black or grey veins running through it only adding to its attractiveness. It is a beautiful semi-precious stone, and is relatively inexpensive, but there is more to it than its simple visual beauty. Its cultural, religious and medicinal properties make fascinating reading. |
