Collecting Bling:
Fabulous Jewels and the Women Who Wore Them

As the saying goes, A thing of beauty is a joy forever, and the desire to adorn ones self with beautiful things is as old as humankind. A magnificent jewel provides the perfect complement to the fashion of the day, but more importantly, reflects its owners taste, lifestyle, wealth and status. This lecture will examine some of the great jewelry collections belonging to royals, aristocrats, divas, socialites and Hollywood starlets from the famous to the infamous. Learn how some jewels have been passed down through the centuries from one collection to the next, while others wound up on the auction block. How has the fame of the owner influenced market price? We will also explore things you need to know about your own jewelry collection, including its documentation and care. Come wearing a favorite piece from your collection!
