一本图文并茂的精美画册，以珠宝为棱镜，探索了15位著名女性的生活和爱情——其中包括伊丽莎白·泰勒、伊丽莎白二世、杰奎琳·肯尼迪和沃利斯·辛普森。

“珠宝”（jewel）一词源于古法语 “joiel” ，该词根包含“玩耍”、“快乐”和“享受”等词语，这证明珠宝与愉悦和幸福的概念紧密相连。

对一些人来说，它是爱情的喜悦；对另一些人来说，它是一种痴迷的激情。沃利斯·辛普森在失去王位后，她的珠宝珍宝成了她的慰藉。至于玛丽亚·卡拉斯，这位女高音歌唱家收集钻石和红宝石，既是为了摆脱童年的贫困，也是为了激起她憎恨的母亲的嫉妒。芭芭拉·赫顿，这位美国最著名的“穷小子富家女”，戴着王冠四处游荡，要求人们称她为公主。她们也曾是诸多戏剧性事件的导火索：玛丽·安托瓦内特，她的钻石项链暴露了她的身份，最终将她送上了断头台；约瑟芬·德·博阿尔内，她也卷入了一场与玛丽·安托瓦内特珍珠项链有关的风波；1930年法国小姐、阿迦汗之妻伊薇特·拉布鲁斯，她的皇家珠宝在街头被盗……

在这本图文并茂的书中，小说家兼珠宝专家大卫·莱莱特-赫洛凝视着这些杰出女性的珠宝盒，探寻她们的内心世界。

A sumptuously illustrated book exploring the lives and loves of 15 famous women through the prism of their jewelry - including Elizabeth Taylor, Elizabeth II, Jackie Kennedy and Wallis Simpson.

The word 'jewel' derives from the Old French word joiel, a word that finds its roots in the words for playing, joy, and enjoyment, proof that jewelry is intimately tied to notions of pleasure and happiness.

For some, it is the pleasure of love, for others, an obsessive passion. For Wallis Simpson, after the throne had passed her by, her jeweled treasures were her solace. As for Maria Callas, the soprano amassed diamonds and rubies to ward off the poverty of her childhood, and to spark the jealousy of a mother she hated. Barbara Hutton, America's most famous poor little rich girl, went around wearing a tiara, demanding to be called a princess. And they have been the cause of so much drama, Marie-Antoinette, whose diamond necklace identified her and sent her to the guillotine; Joséphine de Beauharnais, who was also embroiled in a necklace affair involving Marie-Antoinette's pearls; Yvette Labrousse, Miss France 1930, and wife of the Aga Khan, who was robbed of her royal jewelry in the middle of the street...

In this gloriously illustrated book, novelist and jewelry expert David Lelait-Helo stares into the jewelry boxes of these illustrious women to discover their hearts and their minds.

大卫·莱莱特-赫洛是一位小说家、散文家和传记作家，他儿时的梦想是成为一名珠宝商。他会用小小的塑料珍珠和铝箔片，制作出一整套精美的首饰。2011年，他有幸得以一睹伊丽莎白·泰勒的珠宝盒，从此，珠宝史便成为他最大的爱好之一。

David Lelait-Helo is a novelist, essay writer, and biographer whose childhood dream was to become a jeweler. With little plastic pearls and pieces of aluminum foil, he would create entire collections of finery. In 2011, he was given the wonderful opportunity to admire the jewelry box of Liz Taylor, and the history of jewelry became one of his greatest passions.
