Jewelry
| From early eighteenth-century colorful glass earrings, to spectacular diamond brooches made in Paris, to plastic pop-it bead necklaces of the 1950s, Historic New England’s collection reveals how New Englanders have used jewelry to commemorate and celebrate significant life events – the birth of a child, the marriage of a daughter, or the death of a loved one – and demonstrates the various ways men and women have adorned themselves for close to three hundred years. |
