1940s Jewellery

61 min • 15 februari 2021

This 10-part series is a journey in "Jewellery Through the Ages" beginning in the Georgian era and going all the way up to modern day. In this episode, Matthew and Alyce discuss the turbulent but hugely significant decade that was the 1940s. Dominated by the Second World War, this was a time of great sacrifice and suffering, and this had a major impact on the fashions and jewellery of the time.

Jewellery Icons of the 1940s are Rita Hayworth and Hedy Lamarr.

Producer: Ross Hannon
