Description
Why do we adorn ourselves with precious metals and stones - and why do they matter so much? Inspired by objects at the Royal Ontario Museum, this talk explores jewellery traditions across South Asia history. Discover how gold and silver became symbols of protections and pride, why rubies and sapphires held enduring power, and how regional styles evolved over time. Join us to learn how these legacies of wealth and beauty continue to shape what we wear today.
