| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Jewelry dates back millenia. From early civilizations to today, jewelry has been a status symbol, a means of decoration and much more. This book examines the history of jewelry and the most common components: precious metals, gemstones, and beads. The most common types of jewelry are also discussed. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
