Jewelry’s Intriguing Past
at Larchmont Woman’s Club

Dr. Rayner Hesse, Jr., pastor, professor and author of Jewelrymaking Through History will be a guest speaker at the March 18 meeting of the Woman’s Club of Larchmont. His book, a very readable and carefully researched encyclopedia of jewelry, is filled with absorbing facts about a facet of civilization that goes back 10,000 years. His focus will not only be on intriguing aspects of specific gemstones and precious metals and pieces fashioned from them, but also on various periods such as Art Nouveau and the Arts & Crafts Movement that influenced design. Costume jewelry too will be included.

Dr. Hesse is a member of the New England Appraisers Association and is the owner of Memory Lane: Antiques and Collectibles in Hartsdale. A man of diverse areas of expertise, Dr. Hesse is also the author of Cooking with the Bible. He is an adjunct professor at The General Theological Seminary and, most important, serves as pastor of St. John’s Episcopal Church in New Rochelle. Copies of his jewelry book will be available at the meeting.

The program will be at 2:00 p.m. at the Larchmont Avenue Church, 60 Forest Park Ave. The public is invited at no charge and refreshments will be served. For more information, call 834-1689 or 630-1873 and visit www.WomansClubofLarchmont.org.
