This lecture examines the evolution and achievement of the art of Greek jewelry from the dawn of Hellenic civilization to the present. Jewelry has always been greatly appreciated and worn by men and women, the rich and poor, and even accompanied the deceased to the grave. Since antiquity, Greek jewelry enjoyed exceptional workmanship in its opulence, iconography, and creativity, and the tradition continues through today.


Cosponsored by the San Francisco Auxiliary of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and Consulate General of Greece in San Francisco.
