Researching Korean jewelry has been really difficult. There doesn't seem to be many books dedicated to just Korea. There are a lot about China and Japan though. So in order to get more information I had extended my research to include details about the hanbok, the traditional korean dress. I have found a great book The Art of the Korean Hanbok which I bought off amazon.

I would LOVE this book but it's too expensive! ($155) --->

...maybe i'll get it some other time.
