Friends Lecture - Lustrous Legacy: History of American Jewelry

Join us for a lecture by Olivia Lonetti from Revere Auctions.

Lonetti will guide us through more than 250 years of American jewelry design, highlighting the artistry and innovation that define each era—from the excitement of the Gold Rush and the naturalism of Art Nouveau to the bold geometry of Art Deco.

She’ll reveal how social change, cultural ideals, and technological advances influenced Americans’ choices in adornment. The lecture will help you recognize the signature motifs and craftsmanship of each period, while sharing the stories behind the designers, ateliers, and movements that transformed jewelry into wearable art.
