A cross-cultural examination of jewellery spanning 5,000 years that investigates not only the objects themselves but also the bodies they decorated

As an art form, jewelry is defined primarily through its connection to and interaction with the body—extending it, amplifying it, accentuating it, distorting it, concealing it, or transforming it. But how is the meaning of jewellery bound to the body that wears it?
 
Establishing six different modes of ornamenting the body—Deconstructed, Divine, Regal, Idealized, Alluring, and Resplendent—this artfully designed book illustrates how these various definitions of the body give meaning to the jewellery that adorns it. More than 200 examples of exceptional jewelry and ornaments, created across the globe from antiquity to the present, are shown alongside paintings and sculptures of bejewelled bodies to demonstrate the social, political, and aesthetic role of jewelry. From earflares of warrior heroes in Pre-Columbian Peru to designs by Yves Saint-Laurent, these precious and most intimate works of art provide insight not only about the wearer but also into the designers, artisans, and cultures that produced them.

Very nice
Size: Large, Color: (100) White / White / Pitch Gray
I just received these for my son. They are very nice and look sturdy, but he hasn't worn them yet, so I cannot speak to how well they hold up in the wash or when worn. They appear to be the right size and look stretchy, but not the kind of stretchy that feels super tight on the foot (which I don't like). If they wear unusually well or poorly, I will come back and edit this.

A sock with real support and thickness!
Size: Large, Color: (001) Black / Black / Pitch Gray
I’m pretty happy with these. It seems like sock manufacturing changed 10-15 years ago, and it’s become hard to find pairs that are actually thick and durable. I bought these for an event where I knew I’d be on my feet all day, and they did not disappoint. They provided excellent support throughout the day, even while wearing shoes that typically make my feet ache after just a couple of hours. Glad to finally find a pair that feels well-made.
