This exquisite collection from the president of the National Jewelry Institute explores the history of patriotic jewelry throughout the world. Jewelry has been used for centuries to commemorate leaders, mark significant battles, and celebrate times of peace and prosperity as well as grand occasions. This beautifully photographed collection covers historically important pieces of jewelry, from royal coronation jewels to decorative objects and honorary medals used to mark bravery in battle.

The fourth book in the jewelry series, this collection includes: The Diamond Eagle Pin crafted during the War of 1812 by an English jeweler working in the United States; a pendant from the "Ordre de la Toison d'Or" ("Order of the Golden Fleece"), which remains the highest medal of honor in Spain; and Tiffany's Transatlantic Cable pieces, among other stunning creations.
