The British Crown Jewels: History and Mystery

Join Carl and historian and curator, Curt DiCamillo for a fascinating look into the history of the British Crown Jewels.  Curt shares the history of the crowns and jewels, including a discussion of the oldest (and newest) pieces in the collection.  The show includes an intriguing look at how crowns likely first came to be in royal history and how they have evolved in shape and decoration from medieval times to the present day. The crowns we see today feature an extraordinary array of precious gemstones which contains stories both light and dark of how they entered the collection.    Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
