The Johnston Collection’s “From the Bower” exhibition invited us to reflect on collecting as inspiration and on collecting for its own sake.

In this spirit, our three queens and three princesses are linked by their enthusiasm for collecting, and for displaying their pieces. They acquire their jewels as gifts and inheritances, find them in showrooms and at the great auction houses, and some have to be made specially to suit their taste. Some are ladies who love style, some are gals who love ostentation, all six collectors love the glamour and prestige that jewellery bestows.

A 50-minute fully illustrated presentation that will delight, enlighten and amuse!
