The Arts Society, WGC: Flowers, Hearts and Gems: the secret language of jewellery
To understand jewellery, we need to read its secret language. This lecture from the Arts Society Welwyn Garden reveals how in the 18th and 19th centuries, romantic jewels used flowers, hands and hearts to send coded messages of affection, while jewels used a visual language of urns, broken pillars and veiled women to send a message of grief.
Visitors welcome.
