Jewelry history enthusiasts can explore the adorning arts in a new exhibition, "The Language of Jewelry," at the Henry B. Plant Museum in Tampa, Florida. The show, which opened last Friday, examines both the personal and social context of jewelry symbolism with pieces from the mid-19th to early 20th centuries.
The exhibit includes carefully curated rings, watches, brooches, necklaces, and bracelets from the museum's permanent collections in addition to items from private collections.
