In this work she initially endeavours to formulate a  general definition of jewelery. Yet above all she also analyzes to what  extent jewelery is associated, across the globe, with different,  sometimes contrary issues: all human fears, but also desires, have, in a  sense, materialized as objects of adornment, she postulates. This  comprehensive approach aimed not least at developing a solid theoretical  framework to aid the study of jewelery. Thus the text can already be  seen as an outright standard reference work, indispensable for all  students of jewelery. However, experts, too, will discover new  perspectives on the phenomenon of jewelery.<\/p>\n<p>Contents:<br \/>\nForeword &#8211;  Theorems; 1. Introduction; 2. Definitions and classifications; 3.
