Одержимые блеском. О драгоценностях и о том, как желание обладать ими меняет мир

The way the book connects jewelry to cultural and psychological themes is fascinating. I wonder how the author decided to focus on desire as the central theme.

Some chapters felt like mini detective stories, which kept me hooked. I'm curious if others felt the same or preferred the overarching themes.

The selection of certain pieces seemed very deliberate. I wonder what criteria or personal interests influenced these choices.
