Jewels and Jewelry

"Ranging from exquisite early medieval and Renaissance pieces to today's modern designs, Jewels and Jewelry celebrates the jewelry collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Objects from both Europe and North America illustrate every important style, from the influences of antiquity on sixteenth-century designs, to the Baroque and Neo-Classical, to Art Nouveau and Art Deco, to the avant-garde of the late-twentieth century."--BOOK JACKET.

First sentence: Gold has been central to jewellery since at least the middle of the third millennium BC.
