This intensive master class will approach 19th and 20th century jewelry from a variety of angles. The first two days will consist of lectures and field studies. Lecture topics will range from the social significance of jewelry to the history of major houses such as Tiffany & Co., and an authority on precious stones will lecture from a connoisseur's point of view. Field trips will include a private, curator-led tour of American jewelry at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's newly renovated American wing, and a behind-the-scenes tour of the Van Cleef & Arpels workshop and archives. On the morning of the third day, there will be a walkthrough of the Christie's sale with a Christie's specialist.
