Wed 15 Apr 2015: Charlbury WI April meeting – A Passion for Pearls
This event is in the past.
'A Passion for Pearls' is a lively and entertaining talk about the history, science, myths and legends of the world's most secretive and only living gemstone. Going back over 5000 years, pearls have been associated with wisdom, power, wealth and beauty. Frances Benton is an experienced speaker and promises you a fascinating and sometimes hilarious glimpse into a world of beautiful jewellery and mystery through story-telling and entertainment. Her collections of pearl jewellery, which she sources and makes herself, will be offered for sale after the talk, with profits to charity.
