November 2022: Jason Middleton came to speak on The History of Jewellery. He brought a display of his jewellery things so do also come for a look-see. This presentation showed the role that jewellery has played for humanity from the early great civilisations to the modern day: from the incredible jewellery items discovered from Ancient Egypt and the extensive Roman Empire through to the Renaissance, the Victorian Period and industrialisation. He covered renowned periods such as Art Deco, Art Nouveau to the scientific cutting of gemstones and jewellery manufacturing right up to the jewellery we see today.
Jason is a professional speaker on this topic, and otherwise acts as an international gemstone buyer.
