Program Description
Details
Throughout history jewels and precious metals have served many functions. They have been a form of currency, wealth security, social status, religious devotion, tokens of love, talismans, family heirlooms, and adornments of the body. Gems have funded wars, caused a Queen to fall from favor, helped a nation enter the modern world, launched one of the most successful campaigns in advertising history, and resulted in a piece of jewelry becoming an essential element of warfare. We will view royal jewels, take a “trip” to Tiffany’s “by appointment only” salon and much more in this presentation by Marilyn Carminio.
