Treasure or Trinkets - A Jewellery Identification Event

Reserve your spot

Have you ever found yourself curious about a piece of jewellery you’ve inherited?

Join us for an exciting event where you can bring your cherished jewellery pieces for a thorough cleaning and assessment by a talented panel of expert jewellers! This is your chance to uncover the fascinating history behind your items and learn about the materials and techniques that were used to create them.

In a lively "Antiques Road Show" style atmosphere, you'll witness experts discussing and evaluating your treasures while you sit back and soak in the knowledge. Hear about the hidden gems tucked away in the jewelry boxes of Calgary - it’s bound to spark your curiosity!

You can bring up to 10 pieces for identification, with a small donation of $10 for each item. Remember, this is all in good fun! While no official appraisals will be provided, you'll be guided on how to obtain those services and jewellers who specialize in redesigning vintage pieces.

Participating jewellers include 

Nanz Allund, Charles Lewton-Brain (Professor Emeritus), Linda Chow (Dip ‘73), Sarabeth Carnat (former Faculty), Milt Fischbein, Luke Wieser, Barb Temple, John Smith Jones (BFA '08, Jewellery and Metals), Breianne Avendar (BFA '12, Jewellery and Metals), and Jennea Frischke (ConEd Facilitator and BFA '06, Jewellery and Metals).
