Sinopsis

Historic Rings presents a world-class collection of almost eight hundred rings spanning four continents and four millennia. Perhaps the most intimate form of jewelry, these miniature art objects not only encapsulate traditions and customs throughout the ages but also evoke the most personal feelings of the owners for whom they were made.

Introduced here for the first time in English, the Hashimoto Collection is extraordinary in its richness and breadth. The earliest pieces, including superb artifacts from ancient Egypt, Etruria, Greece, and Rome, are followed by European rings from the medieval period through the Renaissance and up to the nineteenth century. In the twentieth century, all of the major trends, artist jewelers, and designers are also fully represented.

Historic Rings features many rare and valuable pieces, such as an amethyst scarab set in a gold wire hoop with beads at the shoulders dating from the second century b.c., which is the only extant example of its kind in the world. Ring with symbols, portraits seditieux, and locks of royal hair evoke the political struggles in France from the revolution of 1789 up to the establishment of the Third Republic in 1870. Some rings represent political affiliations, religious beliefs, or personal sentiments, and many are set with exquisitely carved cameos or intaglios, or with precious stones. The dazzling creations of such master jewelers as Harry Winston, Van Cleef and Arpels, Cartier, and many more demonstrate the fascinating artistic trends of the twentieth century.

With one thousand four hundred photographs, all the rings in the Hashimoto Collection are illustrated in black and white, with the majority also shown in color, and supplementary illustrations evoke their historical contexts. Styles and conventions of ring design are described, with explanations and anecdotes given for many individual examples. Furthermore, details of provenance, as well as where each ring was purchased and the price paid for it, are provided. Lavishly presented, Historic Rings will appeal to all admirers of jewelry, and its scope and wealth of information will make it an invaluable resource for scholars, experts, collectors, and dealers.

Thank you for taking an interest in one of our books. Please see the "Shipping Terms" section below for details on our shipping and returns policies. We are a mail-order only bookstore located in Bellingham, WA specializing in modern out-of-print books of all genres. If you are an international customer, we ship internationally by UPS Worldwide Expedited. The average delivery time is 1 to 2 weeks, and each shipment can be fully tracked at www.ups.com. For international shipments, it is important to provide a valid phone number with your order. Most international shipments are delivered within 2 weeks. The only exceptions are when the customer has not provided a valid phone number and there are import duties which UPS needs to collect before making final delivery. In those cases, the package will be held at a nearby UPS Access Point until the customer either picks up the package in person or makes arrangements over the phone with UPS to release the package for final delivery. Our shipping charge only covers international postage. Import duties vary widely by country and are additional. We thoroughly clean all books that we offer for sale and do all basic book-repairs ourselves. Basic repairs include repairing slanted bindings, applying additional glue to hinges that have become excessively loose, hinge-tape repairs for damaged hinges, minor binding split repairs, gluing small tears in exterior of covers, removal (as much as possible) of black marker marks to covers of ex-library books, removal of smaller non-permanent stickers, straightening of minor bowing to covers or spine, and applying jacket protectors to books with torn or fragile jackets or for especially pristine or collectible books. We do not do major binding repairs, and any un-repairable binding splits or general weakness in binding will be noted. Any significant repairs such as a hinge-tape repair will also be noted. These repairs do not usually change the underlying condition grade, but do make the book more presentable. Some books are beyond help and will be listed as "Fair/Acceptable" or "Poor". Our books are graded conservatively with library books never graded above "Good" and used books rarely graded above "Very Good". Below is a list of the condition grades we use, in descending order: New/Fine Like New/Near Fine Very Good++ Very Good+ Very Good Minus Good++ Good+ Good Fair-to-Good Fair/Acceptable Poor Very Poor We try to grade accurately, but condition grades are often subjective, so please consider also any condition notes and book photos (when available) before placing an order. All book photos posted to our listings are actual photos of the book offered for sale and have been taken by us.
