Antique Jewelry                    seminar series  Training the eye       

Length: 3 hours
Instructor: Karen Lorene

Learn to make wise collection decisions with a nationally recognized authority in vintage and antique jewelry. Spot the "fakes" by closely observing construction techniques and materials and get an overview of historical developments in the industry in the process.

In Antique Jewelry II you will see more sophisticated markers of quality and deceit. Observations that go unnoticed to all but the experts will be revealed in this class open to Antique Jewelry graduates.

Our new class - Good, Better, Best - an in-depth look at antique and vintage jewelry, will teach you to make wise decisions in collecting with advanced advice for the true collector or those who are ready for the next level.

Students are welcome to bring up to five items of their own for evaluation.
