Jewellery:
Every Culture, Everyone, Everywhere
Episode 6
June 11th, 2020
We may have found the ultimate subject of balancing cultures.
Jewelry. Yes, Jewellery. No matter how you spell it.
It was and is a part of every culture.
The questions I have:
What is the balance of cultures….
- Between artist and audience,
- Between artist and client,
- Between artist and themselves, their experiences, the things that impact their work.

“For over one hundred thousand years, jewelry has fascinated civilizations on this planet. The desire to adorn oneself with jewelry has transcended boundaries of age, class, culture, gender, geography, religion, and time.”
