Join the Ridgefield Library via Zoom on Monday, June 3rd at 7:00 PM to learn about the fascinating history of pearls, with lecturer Toni McKeen.
Pearls (June’s birthstone) have been used as adornment for centuries – at least as far back as ancient Greece where pearls were believed to be the tears of the gods. The oldest known pearl jewelry was discovered in the sarcophagus of a Persian princess who died in 520 BC. Please register to learn about these coveted gems throughout history.
Toni McKeen is a popular lecturer on many topics such as travel, genealogy, architecture and notable people.
