A psychological profile of the world of precious gems full of interesting facts comes to us from "Stoned - Jewelry, Obsession, and How Desire Shapes the World" by author Aja Raden.
A highly entertaining and interesting account even for the generally curious, where the human obsession behind shiny things is explained, as well as the evolution of our desire for more exquisite pieces of jewelry.
One thing that gives value to an antique piece of jewelry is not its sheer beauty or the way in which the designer's contemporary vision permeated the piece giving us an image of the era, but the personalities behind each piece of jewelry and the history, from its creation to the present day.
