Travel a timeline where the very first beads, pharaonic treasures, Islamic rings, and the silver ornaments still worn in the 20th century are all connected — 5,000 years of jewellery history of the Middle East, North Africa and the Mediterranean!
In this course, you’ll discover:
🔹 How jewellery first emerged and why it mattered to ancient cultures
🔹 The long journey of styles, materials, and meanings from Egypt and Mesopotamia to today
🔹 What jewellery reveals about trade, connections, and women’s lives across history

After completion of the redesign, the price will go up - so if you enroll now, you'll have access to everything new, at a price that will not come back...!
In this class, we'll trace how jewellery came to look as it does today. Where do certain designs come from? How did Chinese influences end up in the Mediterranean? What is the connection between art of the Migration Period in Europe and silver ethnic jewellery from North Africa? This is a journey through time, spanning millennia and three continents. You will see stunning archaeological discoveries and learn what jewellery tells us as a historic source.
