Jewellery has played an important role in the adornment of people of all cultures, and in all civilizations. The annual show at Altfield Gallery in March, with Susan Ollemans, a jewellery dealer from London is a good example of this.
Fine old jewels from India, China and South East Asia will be exhibited - showing the contrasts and the connections between the various cultures and their highly skilled goldsmiths.
Early gold pieces from South East Asia including Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Java and Bali dating from the 3rd century through to the 19th century are all represented in the show, and reflect the status, geographical and religious diversity of the people for whom they were made. |
