Evolution of 19th and 20th Jewellery – Arts and Crafts to Art Deco

Discover the evolution of 19th and 20th century jewellery through the Arts and Crafts movement to Art Nouveau, as the language of Art Deco jewellery emerges. From the counter cultural designs of Arts and Crafts guilds, a new design language emerged in 19th century Europe, evolving into the elegant fluidity of Art Nouveau. How was Art Deco a reaction to this in western popular fashion? Discover this through the popular jewellery that defined generations.

This one time only event will be live with a Q&A session afterwards.
