Book excerpt: Few personal possessions have the resonance of finger rings, whether they serve as symbols of marriage, office, status or, in some cases, as token of hidden political or religious beliefs. This attractive volume provides an illustrated catalogue of the rings in the collection of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. These rings, which were worn by both men and women and range from the familiar to the bizarre in type, include examples from many different cultures across the centuries, including Egyptian, Minoan, Etruscan, Greek, Roman and, particularly medieval rings. All are illustrated with colour photographs with facing description. An initial discussion explains the terminology of ring studies and outlines changes in type, function and fashion.
Download or read book Take this Ring written by Sandra Hindman and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rings are at once the most intimate forms of jewelry and personal forms of art. This book focuses on approximately fifty rings from a distinguished private collection, tracing the ways that rings of the Middle Ages and Renaissance came to be meaningful. From the mine to the modern collection and through the forge, the goldsmith's shop, and the hands of successive generations of owners, these rings underwent journeys that lent them multifaceted and often multilayered resonances. This book explores these pathways and examines how people throughout history have interacted with multiple aspects of these small but remarkably complex objects. An introduction by Diana Scarisbrick supplements this biography of rings by investigating five prominent ring enthusiasts whose lives, interests, and collections have played prominent roles in the development of the modern appraisal of rings, while providing a chronological sequence for the rings in this book. A catalog of the rings, including their technical details, accompanies the text.
Book Synopsis Medieval Jewellery by : Marian Campbell
Download or read book Medieval Jewellery written by Marian Campbell and published by Victoria & Albert Museum. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jewellery has always been of central importance to all human societies, but medieval jewellery is relatively less well-known. This book draws on the important collection at the V&A to focus on the heart of the medieval period from 1100 to 1500. The jewellery worn in medieval Europe was important as an indicator of the wearer's social status and wealth, faith and superstition, allegiances and literacy. Royalty and the nobility wore gold, silver or precious gems, the costliest jewellery, while humbler ranks wore base metals, copper or pewter, sometimes set with coloured glass, in imitation of gems. The themes of love, religion and magic inspired the creation of much medieval jewellery. Gems were chosen for their colour, size and the magical or healing powers they were widely believed to bestow upon their wearers. Until late in the Middle Ages gems were not faceted, but simply polished. Sapphires, pearls, garnets and amethysts were popular, rubies the most highly prized. This richly illustrated book looks at the jewels themselves and contemporary portraits and sculpture to place the jewellery in its cultural context." --Book Jacket.
Book Synopsis The Art of Medieval Jewelry by : T.N. Pollio
Download or read book The Art of Medieval Jewelry written by T.N. Pollio and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the origins of the imagery and designs on common jewelry and portable artwork between late antiquity and the Middle Ages? These dynamic centuries encompass the transformation of the Greco-Roman world into the nascent kingdoms and medieval states upon which most modern European nations are based. The choices of jewelry and other forms of personal expression among the lower classes in ancient times is notoriously difficult to contextualize for a number of reasons. Nonetheless, these precious articles were expressions of individual identity as well as signifiers of rites of passage. As such, they reflect not only the people who wore them, but also the social milieu and artistic trends at that moment in time. This new study assists in identifying the types, origins and routes of transmission of personal artwork, particularly finger rings, across Europe and Byzantium, an area of study that has been neglected in previous works. Some of this material represents the first time relevant research from Central and Eastern Europe has been translated and made available to the general reader in the English-speaking world.

In this beautifully illustrated and informative book, Rachel Church narrates the evolution of ring design from 1200 to the present day, offering a unique account of this highly popular accessory. After a general introduction, chronological chapters feature 200 varied illustrations, from period paintings and sketches to special photography of key pieces. A detailed bibliography, glossary, and index conclude the book. An inspiring, impeccably researched, and concise history of this most ubiquitous of jewels through the ages, Rings is a must-have resource for students, designers, and lovers of jewelry and fashion.
