Beyond the Exhibition: Bejeweled!

This special program follows the jewelry exhibits to explore the fashion and jewelry trend from the 18th century until the modern days; how the two categories went hand in hand to enhance the elegance of the wearer. The variety of jewelry pieces were not only emblems of social status and power, but also carried significant message depending on the use of materials.
