Always intended to be beautiful and valuable, jewelry can have other meanings as well. It often identifies its wearer's culture, beliefs, religion or station in life. the exhibition is composed of examples of adornment from cultures in North and South America, Africa, Asia and Europe fashioned from silver, gold, enamel, gems, beads, wood, shells, ivory and bone. Although most of the objects in the exhibition come from Mingei International's permanent collection, several private collections are represented including the major collections of David and Marjorie Ransom and Daniel and Serga Nadler. This ongoing event will be held from now until March 31, 2007.
