Imperial Ottoman Jewellery, reading history through jewellery

0/5 ( ratings)

Prof. Dr. Gul Irepoğlu
Gul Irepoğlu is an Architect and Art Historian specialising in Ottoman and European arts, the interaction between occidental and oriental arts and the history of jewellery, and an accomplished novelist, her bestsellers repeating the success in several languages. After 26 years of lecturing at the Istanbul University Department of History of Art, she further contributed to culture and the arts by producing and presenting weekly TV shows, heading the TAC Turkish Monuments and the Environment Protection Fund and, since 2006, as a member of the UNESCO Turkish National Committee and the chairperson of the Tangible Cultural Heritage Committee. Imperial Ottoman Jewellery offers an insight into history through a pair of binoculars with gemstone lenses made of hundreds of years of time. This book gives voice to jewels that shine the brightest mirror of all onto any given period in history; jewels speak of the past, of a sultan's treasure, of the meanings of valuable gemstones, of a vast compendium of customs, of dazzling designs and of the minutiae of usage.
