028. Controversial Jewelry Pt. 1

November 22, 2022 • Jennifer Sieverling, Jewelry Historian • Season 2 • Episode 28

Most jewelry does not trigger a debate. The vast majority of jewelry does not prompt visceral reactions. But most is not ‘all’, and there are absolutely some kinds of jewelry that immediately spark a sharing of opinions, or even a guttural expression of negativity. We're discussing: three categories of human teeth jewelry, breastmilk bling, blackamoor motifs, cultural appropriateness, amber baby necklaces and more. Get ready to have opinions... it's Part One of Controversial Jewelry.
