From the inside flap: THIS SUMPTUOUSLE ILLUSTRATED ROOK SURVEYS THE wealth, power, and prestige of Boo 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 bends 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. These am the dazzling remains of a lost era when gems were a strategic tool in the game of royal politics and positioning, and the gift of a jewel bestowed far more than wealth, such as the court favor lavished on Sir Francis Drake by Elizabeth I when she presented him with the famed "Drake' miniature or the strengthening of ties between England and Russia when Catherine the Great gave a trove of emeralds, now set in a fabulous necklace, to the English ambassador. The power of jewels was well understood by Napoleon's wife Empress Josephine, who proudly wore the rough-hewn gold and sapphire talisman of Charlemagne once buried with the emperor. The amulet tied Napoleon to the legacy of the legendary conqueror.
