As the chapters unfold about creepy crawlers, scarabs, buzzers and stingers, dragonflies, winged women, butterflies and moths, one can only imagine the complexity, habitats, uniqueness and array of colors in each of God’s natural creations. The photography of each jeweled insect is a museum
masterpiece. Each piece is identified with historical data, intentionally omitting an unnecessary price guide. This book is for the dreamer with "ooh’s and ah’s" abounding. There are so many favorites, but one necklace by L.C. Tiffany, c. 1912 of Favrile glass and gold, reminds me of a similar costume bracelet by Coro. So many of these jewels have been imitated by costume jewelry designers. This is the best reason to read the book and admire its contents. |
