Silver – From Fetish to Fashion

By Daniel and Serga Nadler

Maybe the Ultimate Reference Book on Silver in Ethnic Fashion. This stunning, large-format work covers the author’s personal explorations into the universe of silver adornments. A fascination with silver lured Daniel and Sega Nadler onto a global quest spanning years and countries. Their search for authentic tribal and ethnic jewelry led to the realization that fashion everywhere rules both costumes and accessories. To the famous dictum of male sartorial elegance: “Clothing makes the man”, the authors add: “and jewelry defines the woman” . Their quest’s outcome is this magnificent volume viewing adornments through the prism of fashion. It also details a series of indefatigable and often humorous journeys as the authors scour markets, villages, and shops in search of extraordinary silver jewelry and apparel. Richly illustrated with colour photographs, this makes and an excellent companion volume to Shawls of the East or The Splendor of Antique Rugs and Tapestries.
