Attend the presentation, and wear your gems to the Museum!
We all have jewelry that never seems to leave our jewelry boxes. Here is the occasion to flaunt that cocktail ring, tiara, rhinestone cuff, or sparkly necklace (or everything at once!) – and, at the same time, find out more about those pieces of costume jewelry.
It was during the reign of Queen Victoria that jewelry became affordable for almost everyone. The Queen herself loved jewelry and set the styles for much of her long life.
All That Glitters will take an illustrated romp through 100 plus years of costume jewelry styles from the 1830s to the 1970s. Learn why snakes were so popular in jewelry or why black jewelry became the vogue in the 1860s. See how jewelry styles changed as clothing styles did. These topics and more will be covered in this one hour program presented by former DeKalb resident and museum professional, Ann L. Koski.
The event takes place this Sunday, March 24th in the Ellwood House Visitor Center starting at 2pm. Please RSVP to info@ellwoodhouse.org or by calling 815-756‐4609. The Ellwood House Museum is located at 509 North First Street in DeKalb.
