The book looks at Indian experiences of jewelry: past and present, literary and literal, communal and individualistic, conventional and playful, and even defiant, as seen in the Susan Beningson collection of Indian Jewelry. The focus of the collection is jewelry from the south of India, particularly women's jewelry and the jewelry of the gods. The book is published in conjunction with an expedition at the Asia Society from September 14, 2004 to January 23, 2005
