PAST EXHIBITS
Treasures of the Earth
The exhibit explores how man transforms the Earth's treasures into finished pieces of jewelry. Rough materials, such as amber, jade, turquoise and other unusual specimens, are shown along with a finished bead, cabochon, faceted stone, ring or wearable object.
Photographs of mines and maps, illustrating the transformation from raw materials into jewelry are displayed. The exhibit celebrates the release of Diana Friedberg's "The Treasured Bead" the fourth in her DVD series "World on a String". Tim Morgan and Michele McMurtry are curating the exhibit, which will run through September 2008.
