Accompanied by archive images, fashion photography and specially commissioned photographs of period pieces, the most collectible and beautiful bracelets, necklaces, rings and brooches are showcased.

Each decade ends with a 'key looks' spread showing an at-a-glance view of the important designs that defined the era.
