Week 4 — Victorian Turquoise Jewelry vs. Native American vs. Mexican Identification — NEW LESSON

Turquoise jewelry can be strikingly beautiful but can you identify where a piece fits among different jewelry traditions?

Join Pat Pixley for a brand-new lesson during Week 4 of History & Appreciation of Antiques: Victorian Turquoise Jewelry vs. Native American vs. Mexican Identification.

Take a closer look at turquoise jewelry and explore the characteristics that can help distinguish Victorian pieces from Native American and Mexican examples. Pat will examine details of design, materials, settings, craftsmanship, and style, giving participants a closer look at what to notice when examining and identifying pieces.

If you love antique jewelry, turquoise, collecting, or the detective work involved in identifying an unfamiliar treasure, this new lesson is one you won’t want to miss!
