Beautiful pictures of rare and unusual pieces. I bought this for my sister and almost kept it for myself.
Well worth buying!

If you collect insect jewelry, or if you just love to look at jewelry as an art form, you are going to love this book. The author takes a topic rarely covered, and creates a photo essay that is beautiful from start to finish. The only problem I had with this book is that it made me want to hit the antique shops (...)to find some of the rare and lusterous beauties shown in the beautiful color pictures. I hope we will see more on this fascinating subject in the future. This book has made me hungry for more, and I guarantee if you have a "bug pin" collector on your gift list, you simply won't find a better book to surprise them with. It definately will not disappoint!
Truly a treat

This is a beautiful little book which features photographs of precious jewels fashioned by some of the great jeweler/artists of the past three centuries. The Lalique and Cartier pieces shown here are not the same ones you'll find in every other jewelry book. The quality of the photography and printing is first class. If you love fine art jewelry, or insects, or both, you'll enjoy this book.
