Upcoming Event Sunday June 28th:

"Carvers and Collectors: The Lasting Lure of Ancient Gems"
 A special exhibition at the Getty Villa in Malibu

 As described on the Getty's website

 The beauty of carved gemstones has captivated collectors, connoisseurs, and craftsmen since antiquity.  Precious markers of culture and status, gems were sought by Greek and Roman elites as well as modern monarchs and aristocrats.

 This exhibition features intaglios and cameos carved by ancient master engravers along with outstanding works by modern carvers and works of art in diverse media that illustrate the lasting allure of gems.
