AIC23 GJ - The History of Design: Symbolism in Jewelry

Session Description

Symbolic thought defines us as "modern man". Jewelry is one of the first indicators of symbolic thought and predates rock art by 90,000+ years. This presentation will examine primary symbols represented in ancient, antique, contemporary and global jewelry as well as cultural symbols. The information gleaned from this presentation will give appraisers not only a greater ability to interpret the purpose and meaning of jewelry, but will assist in determining geographic origin of a piece of jewelry or article of adornment.
