21.01.2022 KASTELLORIZIAN JEWELLERY A Dispersed Archive of a Past Culture Why was jewellery so important to Kastellorizians, and what are the stories behind the various pieces?... As a researcher and collector of the social history of Kastellorizo, Nick Bogiatzis has written an absorbing and informative account of the island's jewellery. Kastellorizians from around the world have shared photographs of their jewellery to beautifully illustrate the pages of this book. These images illuminate the stories behind the jewellery and take you on a rich journey into a past culture. COST: AU $55.00* To purchase the book, contact us at [email protected] or on https://kazzijewellery.wixsite.com/book *Note: this does not include postage and handling
