About
Join us at the RACV City Club Melbourne for a talk by Adrian Dickens of Circa AD Jewels- "A Jewel In The Crown- India's Beautiful and Historic Ever Changing Jewels". From the infamous Koh-i-Noor Diamond to the wonderfully juicy ‘Tutti Frutti’ style created by the legendary house of Cartier, this talk reveals some of the world’s most magnificent jewels featuring historical Indian gems, it also highlights India’s influence on European jewels in the early 20th century.Originally owned by maharajas and maharanis, including the scandalous “Wallis Simpson of India”, these treasures were recreated to adorn European royalty, aristocrats and socialites in the 1920s and 30s. These are truly masterpieces from an era of style and unsurpassed ‘Deco-dence’!
Doors will open at 10:00am and the talk will begin at 10:30am. Morning tea will be served.
