LIFE IN JEWELS - historian Diana Scarisbrick

Carol talks to the leading jewellery academic Diana Scarisbrick – an author, curator and specialist in neo-classical gems – who studies the cultural, social and political significance of jewellery. Over her 50-year career she’s written more than 20 books, including such definitive works as Rings: Jewellery of Power, Love and Loyalty; Jewellery in Britain from 1066-1837; Portrait Jewels: Opulence and Intimacy from the Medici to the Romanovs; and most recently Diamonds: 700 Years of Glory and Glamour. Diana has also amassed a personal collection of Renaissance, 17th- and 18th-century rings. Now in her 92nd year, she is immersed in academia, and her enthusiasm, joie de vivre, and work ethic are as strong as ever.For more information, please see: www.carolwoolton.comFollow Carol Woolton:  @carolwooltonProduced by Natasha Cowan @tashonfashMusic and editing by Tim Thornton @timwthorntonCreative direction by Scott Bentley @bentleycreativeIllustrations Jordi Labanda @jordilabandaRead Carol Woolton in Vogue magazine – vogue.co.uk/fashion/jewellerySponsored by Leibish, the coloured diamond specialist https://jewelry.leibish.com/cw Hosted on Acast.
