Krátký popis
Travelling through moments in history and layers of soil and
sediment, this is world history as you have never seen it before.
This is the story of precious gems, from emeralds and rubies, to
sapphires and pearls. Explore their history and geology, as well as
their famous owners, from Elizabeth 1 to Elizabeth Taylor, Marie
Antoinette to Marilyn Monroe, Coco Chanel to Beyonce. Discover the
fragile emerald watch that survived cross-continental journeys and
centuries under the floorboards of a London house. Journey back
through the generations of women who wore pearls as a signifier of
femininity and marvel at the role these glistening objects have
played in changing depictions of feminism. Learn of the Burmese
warriors who believed so strongly in the connection between rubies
and lifeblood that they embedded them into their skin before battle
to protect them from harm. In this sumptuous and sweeping history
of humanity's love affair with jewels, the V&A’s Senior
Jewellery Curator, Helen Molesworth, takes you behind the curtain
of museums and auction houses, showcasing some of history's most
incredible and iconic jewels and the deeply human stories that lie
behind them.
