Summary "Jewellery" by H. Clifford Smith is a scholarly examination of the history and artistry of personal ornaments, published in the early 20th century. The work systematically explores various styles of jewellery from ancient civilizations through to the modern era, emphasizing the artistic and cultural significance of these adornments across different periods. With a focus primarily on European jewellery, it delves into the craftsmanship and symbolic meanings that these pieces have held throughout history. The opening of the book introduces the definition of jewellery as a form of personal ornamentation, distinguishing it from mere decorative objects. It outlines the systematic structure of the work, which organizes the discussion of jewellery by historical periods, with a particular emphasis on the ancient Egyptians, whose elaborate burial customs preserved many examples of their craftsmanship. Additionally, the text highlights the symbolic significance of various ornaments, such as the scarab in Egyptian culture, and begins to set the context for a deeper exploration of specific types of jewellery and their evolution over time.
