This book about a certain type of devotional jewelry which may or may not contain relics is an absolute "gem"! Packed with details like dates, names, photographs, even maps, it is somehow both readable by the uninitiated such as ourselves or could be used as a reference text. It introduces the reader not just to a type of jewelry, but its place in history and culture in various places around the world.

We heartily wish there were more books like it. ALL TEH STARZ
