Tiara by Diana Scarisbrick

Description

Tiara by Diana Scarisbrick is packed full of history and brilliant photography and images.  Published in 2000. Hard back with dust cover. 192 pages.

Created in conjunction with an exhibition of tiaras at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, this magnificent volume showcases more than 75 of the world’s most exquisite tiaras adorned with everything from delicate feathers to ornately decorated, gold fleur-di-lis scrollwork set in diamonds, pearls, and sapphires. An essay by Diana Scarisbrick, curator of the exhibition, traces the tiara’s history, and dozens of photographs show tiaras worn by Russian princesses, British royalty, American socialites, and many others. Taking a lighter, popular culture approach to a traditionally high fashion subject, Tiara will delight aficionados as well as those less familiar with the tiara’s artistry, who will be astonished by the array of styles, shapes, and showstoppers from around the world.

This second hand book Hana bought while she was studying jewellery design around 18 years ago. This book proved to be of great use at the time. Hana wanted it to become a great use to someone else now. This book is still in a great condition with slight marks to the dust cover and a little discolouration to very top pages.
