Author explores five aesthetic themes throughout history.

Carol Woolton, the longtime jewelry editor of British Vogue, has written a book called “Vogue: The Jewellry” that looks back at signature pieces that have been featured in the publication during the last 100 years, the Columbia Daily Tribune writes. The article says the book is divided into five thematic chapters and “offers a look at the social forces that shaped aesthetics at a particular point in time.” The book is scheduled to be released in the U.S. on Tuesday, April 5.

Here’s an excerpt from the description of the book found on its back cover:

“In Vogue: The Jewellery Carol Woolton has curated a collection of more than 300 fabulous images and grouped them into five thematic chapters: Show-stoppers, Rock Chick, Minimalist, Exotic and Classical. From fantastical diamond-encrusted tiaras and intricate jet chokers to sculptural silver cuffs and the purity of a simple string of pearls, the book provides an evocative celebration of a century of magical jewelry.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
