"The narrator, Abby Zinzo, is writing an amusing, erotic memoir to accompany the jewelry he's leaving to his adolescent heir. In it he explains to her what jewelry has meant to him throughout a checkered life lived mostly in Paris and around the continent, in strange menages - but always with jewelry in view. His obsession is not only with jewelry itself, but also with the great women who have worn it.".
"He writes about its magic, its lore, its attraction in history and on the streets, in public and in the most intimate scenarios. He can't stop thinking about it, or about the Duchess of Windsor, Elizabeth Taylor, Coco Chanel - women of the twentieth century who have owned magnificent jewelry. He dreams about them and about the pave diamond ring that Dodi al Fayed gave to Diana.
He examines their lives and their philosophies of adornment in order to better understand jewelry for reasons that are intensely personal, reasons that concern his very life and love."--BOOK JACKET.
