Intro
Far more than merely a display of wealth and taste, jewelry is an integral element in the lives of the people of India.
Drawing on more than 35 years of collecting and research, Untracht surveys the major Indian jewelry forms and techniques, exploring Indian jewelry as both an ongoing aesthetic spanning 5,000 years and a highly significant form of cultural expression.
