Renowned jewelry historian Diana Scarisbrick discusses the origins of her interest in jewelry with host Sandra Hindman in this podcast recorded between London and Chicago. They discuss her early, formative interactions with rings through S. J. Philips, the antique jewelry shop founded in 1869. From there they move into a discussion of the importance of working directly with objects, Scarisbrick’s extensive writing on jewelry and the adventures she has had traveling the world to work with collectors, dealers, museums, and libraries, and even her work as a translator for the French Navy. Diana Scarisbrick remembers her interactions with Joan Evans, the eminent British historian of French and English medieval art, and muses on the influence of fiction and memoir on her contemplation of jewelry.
This conversation was recorded on Wednesday May 27, 2020.

I just started following your podcast and it has opened my interest in a new (yet very old) world of art and history- the topics are scholarly yet v interesting and Sandra Hindman and experts deliver them with passion and clarity. I have heard Ms Hindman speak about book of hours and posey rings at TEFAF or Masterpiece and her love of objects and their stories come thru not only personally bu thru the airwaves! thank you and I will continue to educate myself with such great and animated sources
