Bonhams will present more than 200 jewels from the Estate of George and Charlotte Shultz (auction on May 23) along with the New York Jewels preview filled with Hollywood glamour and Art Deco treasures from three important American collections including jewelry from Bette Midler (auction on May 24). RSVP is open in the title.

Virtual | WEDNESDAY, May 25th: READ MY PINS: STORIES FROM MADELEINE ALBRIGHT’S COLLECTION

Earlier this year, the world lost former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. Polyglot, author, and diplomat, Albright’s trailblazing career hinged in part on her extraordinary ability to connect and create meaning. Well known is her innovative use of jewelry as a diplomatic language. She grew a collection of primarily costume jewelry to convey not only her thoughts, mood, and wit, but also as messaging in support of American foreign policy. Join us for a very special Gemflix with Senior Curator Dr. Nancy E. Zinn as we visit a selection of the pins and dive into the fascinating stories entwined in each one. The talk will be guest moderated by GemX Core member Steph Carendi.
