| Antique
Jewelry Slideshow
 The
jewelry trade began at the dawn of civilization.
On Thursday August
21 at 1:00 pm a slideshow on Antique Jewelry will be presented at the Senior
Center.
The program will run about one hour and afterwards there will
be refreshments, coffee, and informal discussions.
The presentation will
trace the forms and styles of jewelry from ancient trading centers up to the present
with particular mention given to the current MFA exhibition on Art Nouveau Jewelry.
The speaker will be antiques writer Bob Jackman.
OPTIONAL:
If you have a piece of antique jewelry, Bob would be happy to comment on it. However
there will be absolutely no gem identification or appraisals.
Admission
is free.
While the talk will be organized around a sequence of 80 slides,
the atmosphere will be informal with questions and answers throughout the presentation.
Expect to learn a bit, share some laughs, and have a good time.
