Part VII - Religous Symbols

Our fifth season of Gem Pursuit feat. Matthew Weldon & Alyce Ketcher is called 'Treasured Tokens: the Secret Language of Jewellery'

In the final part of this series, we probably bite off a bit more than we can chew by trying to cover the topic of religious symbols in one hour-long podcast…

We mainly discuss symbols from Christianity such as the ichthus, the cross and where they show up in jewellery as well as other forms of christian jewellery like iconographic rings and St Christopher medals. 

We also touch on symbols from other world religions as well as some famous pieces that carry a religious meaning.

Listen to end for the conclusion of this season of Gem Trivial Pursuit…
