All That Glitters: A Sparkling Romp Through 100+ Years of Costume Jewelry

Join museum professional Ann Koski as she discusses and illustrates costume jewelry from the 1830s to the 1970s.  Learn why snake designs became popular and why black jewelry was fashionable in the 1860s - and much more!  From cocktail rings and rhinestone tiaras to pop beads and poodle pins, affordable faux jewelry is where the fun begins!

Be sure to wear your BLING!  A Q&A will follow the program.
