Georgian jewels have always been fabulously collectible, from the years of their creation up until the present day. The table cut stones, the foil backings, the metals used, the unique chains- all form a tableau of style that is distinctive and historically significant.
Please join us in welcoming Georgian jewelry expert Jacquelyn Babush as she focuses on identifying jewelry of the Stuart and Georgian periods, discussing the evolution of fashion and its impact on jewelry. Construction details, materials used, and specific design formats clearly delineating these eras will be discussed. This lecture is deeply important for any jewelry dealer or historian who comes across jewelry from the period, as there are a number of incorrect pieces in the market. NB: the lecture duration will be about 11/2 hours so please allocate appropriate time for it.
