Spectacular: Gems and Jewelry from the Merriweather Post Collection (Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens) Hardcover – June 6, 2017

I have several books on jewelry collections. This book is Beautifully illustrated. Plus you get a glimpse into the life of a philanthropist who understood that jewelry is art.

I am a Certified Master Goldsmith, and avid collector of books showcasing fine jewelry and gems. This is one of THE BEST books I’ve come across, and for an incredible price!The collection is beautifully photographed, and the accompanying text is brilliantly written and incredibly interesting in its historical accuracy. I have found myself reading and re-reading the book several times.This book will make an excellent addition to any art book collection and I am so impressed, I’m buying a second copy put into my “investment collection”.

Beautiful book that provides a lot of historical information. It even pictures the sketches from which some pieces were designed. Excellent!

great book for jewelry lovers along with some history

An enviable collection of jewels. Beautiful book with spectacular photos and descriptions. A must have for jewelry collectors.

This is without doubt, the most amazing book, i have ever seen on single owner jewelry ! Page after page of gorgeous photos of the famous Post collection. Also, much detail is giving on many of her most cherished pieces! 5 stars all the way. Spectacular !

Incredible woman who lived life to the fullest & shared equal amounts of money to others!! Her taste has always inspired ne & her Hillwood final home is incredible also.

This book documents all of the great jewels that Marjorie Merriweather Post bought for herself in her million dollar lifetime. Great gems which would rival the kings and queens of Europe.

This wonderful book catalogues the tremendous collection of jewels owned by the multimillionairess and philanthropist Marjorie Merryweather Post - a must for anyone interested in historical jewels and major jewellery houses

Original book got lost in the post but was replaced immediately. Book itself is glorious - sumptuous pictures. If you like jewellery, you'll enjoy this.

lovely photos, interesting text on this rather obscure US museum

The fact that delivery time VERY long aside, this book is just as the title says - spectacular! Amazing pics of the jewels and interesting text.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK! STUNNING PICTURES OF LOVELY PIECES OF WEARABLE ART, GORGEOUS, A REAL TREAT TO SEE THE PIECES IN THIS MAGICAL BOOK. ANYONE WANTING A BOOK TO VIEW FOR RESEARCH INTO THE HISTORY OF GREAT DESIGN JEWEL MAKERS SHOULD HAVE THIS BOOK!!!!
