Podcasts about Dusan

This week we discussed the thought of one of 20th-century Marxism's socialist opponents, Tomáš Masaryk. Masaryk was reviled by Czech communists until they appropriated him and he was an opponent of capitalism until the champions of capitalism did the same. He was a social democrat with an ethical and Christian-humanist vision of socialism that inspired the Prague Spring but was later coopted by the opponents of the working class and human liberation. A State without Suicidehttps://www.commonwealmagazine.org/state-without-suicide Betts, R.

Fluent Fiction - Serbian: Uncovering Time's Treasures: A Journey Through Studenica Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sr/episode/2025-01-28-23-34-02-sr Story Transcript:Sr: Зима је захватила манастир Студеницу, а снег је нежно прекривао древне зидове.En: Winter had enveloped the manastir Studenica, and snow gently covered the ancient walls.Sr: Милица и Душан стајали су пред манастиром, посматрајући импозантну грађевину као да је сама крила све тајне света.En: Milica and Dusan stood in front of the monastery, gazing at the imposing structure as if it itself held all the secrets of the world.Sr: Милица је била одушевљена.En: Milica was thrilled.Sr: Њена љубав према историји и посебно легендама о давно изгубљеним благом довела ју је овде.En: Her love for history and particularly the legends of long-lost treasures had brought her here.Sr: Чула је приче о скривеном благу у зиду манастира, и сада је имала прилику да их истражи.En: She had heard stories of hidden treasure in the walls of the monastery, and now she had the opportunity to explore them.Sr: "Душане, морамо бити пажљиви," рекла је Милица, извлачећи старе карте и текстове из свог ранца.En: "Dusane, we have to be careful," Milica said, pulling out old maps and texts from her backpack.Sr: Њена рука је благо дрхтала од узбуђења и хладноће.En: Her hand trembled slightly from excitement and cold.Sr: Душан, увек практичан и помало скептичан, климао је главом, знајући колико јој ово значи.En: Dusan, always practical and a bit skeptical, nodded, knowing how much this meant to her.Sr: "Разумем, али не смемо нарушити благо историје да откријемо ново," упозорио је он.En: "I understand, but we must not disturb the treasures of history to discover new ones," he warned.Sr: "А и чувара манастира ће занимати шта ми радимо."En: "And the monastery keeper will be interested in what we're doing."Sr: Закорачали су унутар манастира, у срце приче која је чекала да буде испричана.En: They stepped inside the monastery, into the heart of a story that was waiting to be told.Sr: Студеница је била величанствена, са својим зидовима украшеним старим фрескама, које су причале приче из прошлости.En: Studenica was magnificent, with its walls adorned with ancient frescoes, telling stories from the past.Sr: У мирноћи светилишта, кораци су одјекивали тихо.En: In the silence of the sanctuary, their footsteps echoed softly.Sr: Милица је пажљиво пратила карте, њен поглед је појачан поштовањем према ономе стојећи пред њом.En: Milica carefully followed the maps, her gaze intensified by the respect for what stood before her.Sr: Душан је први приметио куста који их је такође посматрао, пришао им је са сумњом.En: Dusan was the first to notice the custodian who was also observing them, approaching them with suspicion.Sr: "Ви овде трагате за благом?" питао је стари монах, љубазно, али и са дозом резерве.En: "Are you searching for treasure here?" asked the old monk, kindly, but with a hint of reservation.Sr: Милица му је објаснила своју страст за историјом и древним мистеријама које Студеница носи.En: Milica explained her passion for history and the ancient mysteries that Studenica holds.Sr: Монах је потпискивао главом, разумејући младалачки жар, али и властиту одговорност према очувању.En: The monk nodded, understanding the youthful fervor but also his own responsibility towards preservation.Sr: "Блага у зидовима нема, драга моја," рекао је мудро.En: "There is no treasure in the walls, my dear," he said wisely.Sr: "Али ако погледаш око себе, можда ћеш видети највеће благо ─ време обликовано у овим камењем."En: "But if you look around, you may see the greatest treasure ─ time shaped in these stones."Sr: Наставили су своје истраживање, Маца је открила један занимљив текст који указује на мистериозни пролаз, али се суочила са дубоком дилемом.En: They continued their exploration, discovering an intriguing text indicating a mysterious passage, but faced a deep dilemma.Sr: Душан и монах, сваки на свој начин, апеловали су на њен разум и савест.En: Dusan and the monk, each in their own way, appealed to her reason and conscience.Sr: Са тешким срцем али јасним умом, Милица је одустала од даљег истраживања.En: With a heavy heart but a clear mind, Milica decided to abandon further exploration.Sr: Одлучила је схватити вредност онога што већ има и научити из прошлости на други начин.En: She chose to understand the value of what she already had and to learn from the past in a different way.Sr: Узбуђење препуштања историји заменило је ново, спокојније задовољство.En: The excitement of unearthing history was replaced by a new, calmer satisfaction.Sr: Студеница је остала цела, са њеним скривеним причама и легендама, које ће дочекивати и инспирисати нове генерације.En: Studenica remained intact, with its hidden stories and legends, ready to welcome and inspire new generations.Sr: Док су се враћали кроз снег, Милица је осећала мира.En: As they walked back through the snow, Milica felt at peace.Sr: Она и Душан испричали су једну причу, можда не управо ону коју су намеравали, али свакако једну вредну преношења.En: She and Dusan had told a story, perhaps not the one they intended, but certainly one worth passing on.Sr: Понекад је и сам пут важан као и циљ.En: Sometimes the journey itself is as important as the destination.

Stuart and William, your co-hosts, are  that friendly voice in your ear.  They guarantee they will be here every week, with a new release every Sunday, at 10am, plus extra material outside of this schedule too. There are no scripts, just genuine conversation between middle aged men. In today's episode, the last for 2024, Stuart and William mull over two questions sent in by listeners, with the first coming from Anne in Turlock, California, USA - “When making your podcast, how aware are you that someone will always say you are offensive if they don't agree with you?” The discussion off the back of this question begins with William's assertion that both he and Stuart are aware that they could be offensive with every episode they record together. Stuart comes at it from a different angle though, noting the difference between being offensive and someone taking offence. A person taking offence doesn't mean he and William are being offensive. William brings up that often offense is felt when a person has an opposing opinion to you. Stuart follows on from this saying that he always tries to be respectful, but he gets frustrated not hearing certain topics being openly and honestly talked about, which he feels is the contribution that this podcast tries to make. William goes on to talk about how the conversations Stuart and he have on this podcast is like a stream of consciousness, but he always has in his mind the potential impact of his words, and the motive behind them too. He concludes by giving you an action: Where in your life are you easily offended and why? They next move onto the second question for this episode which comes from listener Dusan in Lahinch, Ireland - “Do we need to have a strong faith to give a damn and have a sense of identity?” From this question, both Stuart and William assume that when Dusan refers to faith, they are talking about God, and for William he is categorical that we don't need faith to have a sense of identity. He states that you are your physical being, nothing more, nothing less. Stuart pulls him up on this statement. He goes on to talk about how during workshops he leads, he gets participants around a campfire to write down sixteen things about them. He gets them to cross off anything to do with work, anything to do with their physical body, anything to do with their hobbies, and then generally what you're left with is values. He sees that as being their identity. Stuart and William then go onto discuss whether you need faith to have an identity? William feels that faith can bring structure to your life. He cites a close friend who is an evangelical Christian, and he sees how important their faith is to them, and how big a part it is of their identity.  Stuart's conclusion: he thinks some people do need a faith to give a damn, but he also thinks it's worth exploring giving a damn without a faith too.

Tredicesima puntata della settima stagione di J-TACTICS, la rubrica di radiomegliodiniente.com, dedicata alla vecchia signora bianconera.Focus sulla doppia sfida all'Allianz Stadium, sabato contro il fanalino di coda in serie A del Venezia e martedì contro l'ostico Cagliari in coppa Italia.Due sfide e due Juventus diverse, non solo per il risultato maturato in campo.La vecchia signora stecca ancora in Serie A, pareggiando inaspettatamente contro i lagunari rimandando l'appuntamento con la vittoria che manca addirittura dal 9 novembre.Contro il Venezia infatti finisce 2-2, con la squadra dello squalificato Motta che si è salvata per l'ennesima volta solo in pieno recupero grazie ad un calcio di rigore di Vlahovic, fortemente contestato a fine partita dalla curva.Prestazione opaca dei bianconeri che non hanno bissato la bella vittoria in Champions contro il Manchester City.E la vetta della classifica occupata dall'Atalanta è distante 9 punti.Fischi e contestazione per la Juventus al 4° pareggio consecutivo.Vlahovic e la Juve si ritrovano e si riconciliano con i propri tifosi qualche giorno dopo.Martedì sera il malcapitato Cagliari viene stritolato con un perentorio poker, accesso ai quarti di coppa Italia dove l'avversario sarà l'Empoli.Vlahovic e Koopmeiners regalano gol e magie alla Juventus che batte il Cagliari per 4-0 e passa ai quarti di finale di Coppa Italia.C'è gloria anche per Conceiçao e Nico Gonzalez, quest'ultimo autore di un cucchiaio delizioso nel finale.I veri protagonisti sono però Dusan e Koop, i due infatti erano finiti nel mirino della critica feroce da parte dei tifosi e di una contestazione fuori controllo, mettono la loro firma al successo con due perle d'alta scuola.Dalle stalle alle stelle nel giro di pochi giorni, anche questa è la bellezza e la stranezza del calcio.Di questo e altro parleremo in questa puntata!

Live from Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, Dusan Matuska, a pioneer and advocate of Bitcoin education, delves into the impact of Bitcoin on society as a decentralized finance currency and what efforts are made to educate more people about it.Dusan Matuska shared how his Bitcoin journey went, talking about the values of Bitcoin such as freedom, and fellowship, and how Bitcoin can create a cooperative and harmonious world. The concept of “Amity,” a term that captures the spirit of cooperation and peace is what Bitcoin technology can help to achieve. It's a reminder that Bitcoin's implications in society are more than just finance and investments.One way Dusan Matuska aims to foster Bitcoin adoption is through educational initiatives like the 2-day workshop conducted in El Salvador aiming to empower educators in the Bitcoin community, enhancing their skills so they can effectively share their knowledge and passion about Bitcoin. This helps reach more people because spreading Bitcoin knowledge is just as important as Bitcoin itself.With his company Amity Age's goal to introduce Bitcoin to a hundred million people, he knows it's a big challenge to take. As he discusses the contribution of Bitcoin in community development and economic empowerment, how Bitcoin mining funds education efforts, and how the development of a Bitcoin-centric community in Honduras can serve as a model to developing countries, Dusan Matuska's valuable experience is a powerful asset that can help reach more people and truly leverage Bitcoin for economic and educational growth.Learn more about Dusan Matuska and Amity Age:X: https://twitter.com/dusan_matuska X: https://twitter.com/AmityAge Amity Age tours: https://www.amityage.com/tours 

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Retrospective: PIBBSS Fellowship 2023, published by DusanDNesic on February 16, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. Between June and September 2023, we (Nora and Dusan) ran the second iteration of the PIBBSS Summer Fellowship. In this post, we share some of our main reflections about how the program went, and what we learnt about running it. We first provide some background information about (1) The theory of change behind the fellowship, and (2) A summary of key program design features. In the second part, we share our reflections on (3) how the 2023 program went, and (4) what we learned form running it. This post builds on an extensive internal report we produced back in September. We focus on information we think is most likely to be relevant to third parties, in particular: People interested in forming opinions about the impact of the PIBBSS fellowship, or similar fellowship programs more generally People interested in running similar programs, looking to learn from mistakes that others made or best practices they converged to Also see our reflections on the 2022 fellowship program. If you have thoughts on how we can improve, you can use this name-optional feedback form. Background Fellowship Theory of Change Before focusing on the fellowship specifically, we will give some context on PIBBSS as an organization. PIBBSS overall PIBBSS is a research initiative focused on leveraging insights and talent from fields that study intelligent behavior in natural systems to help make progress on questions in AI risk and safety. To this aim, we run several programs focusing on research, talent and field-building. The focus of this post is our fellowship program - centrally a talent intervention. We ran the second iteration of the fellowship program in summer 2023, and are currently in the process of selecting fellows for the 2024 edition. Since PIBBSS' inception, our guesses for what is most valuable to do have evolved. Since the latter half of 2023, we have started taking steps towards focusing on more concrete and more inside-view driven research directions. To this end, we started hosting several full-time research affiliates in January 2024. We are currently working on a more comprehensive update to our vision, strategy and plans, and will be sharing these developments in an upcoming post. PIBBSS also pursues a range of other efforts aimed more broadly at field-building, including (co-)organizing a range of topic-specific AI safety workshops and hosting semi-regular speaker events which feature research from a range of fields studying intelligent behavior and exploring their connections to the problem of AI Risk and Safety. Zooming in on the fellowship The Summer Research Fellowship pairs fellows (typically PhDs or Postdocs) from disciplines studying complex and intelligent behavior in natural and social systems, with mentors from AI alignment. Over the course of the 3-month long program, fellows and mentors work on a collaborative research project, and fellows are supported in developing proficiency in relevant skills relevant to AI safety research. One of the driving rationales in our decision to run the program is that a) we believe that there are many areas of expertise (beyond computer science and machine learning) that have useful (if not critical) insight, perspectives and methods to contribute to mitigating AI risk and safety, and b) to the best of our knowledge, there does not exist other programs that specifically aim to provide an entry point into technical AI safety research for people from such fields. What we think the program can offer: To fellows increased understanding of the AI risk problem, as well as potential avenues for reducing these risks. the opportunity to explore how they can usefully apply their expertise, including identifying promising lines of ...

Diciottesima puntata della sesta stagione di J-TACTICS, la rubrica di radiomegliodiniente.com, dedicata alla vecchia signora bianconera.Focus sul match andato in scena all'Allianz Stadium tra i padroni di casa bianconeri e i toscani dell'Empoli.Pareggio inaspettato e quantomeno amaro per gli uomini di Mister Allegri.Niente mini fuga quindi per la Juventus.Dopo il sorpasso per effetto della vittoria a Lecce la squadra bianconera aveva la possibilità di presentarsi al big match scudetto contro l'Inter ancora avanti in classifica ma il pareggio per 1-1 contro l'Empoli e la successiva vittoria dei nerazzurri a Firenze non permette alla Juventus di andare a giocare a San Siro in questa situazione.L'Inter è quindi nuovamente capolista con un punto in più dei bianconeri e con una gara in meno all'attivo.Un Vlahovic macchina da gol segna ancora, ma Baldanzi pareggia i conti allo Stadium.La prima frazione di gioco è marchiata indelebilmente dal cartellino rosso a Milik al 18′, l'attaccante polacco viene espulso per intervento duro sulla caviglia di Cerri dopo aver perso palla per un controllo sbagliato.Sanzione maturata però solo dopo l'on field review da parte dell'arbitro Marinelli, che aveva inizialmente solo ammonito l'attaccante polacco.Nonostante l'uomo in meno, i bianconeri hanno l'occasione migliore per andare in vantaggio, Miretti intercetta un passaggio orizzontale di Gyasi ma praticamente a botta sicura spara alto.All'inizio del secondo tempo arriva finalmente il gol del vantaggio per i padroni di casa.Sugli sviluppi di un calcio d'angolo è ancora il serbo Vlahovic a insaccare con una girata ravvicinata, dopo che la palla gli era finita addosso a seguito di un mischione in area di rigore.È il dodicesimo gol in campionato per il ritrovato Dusan, autore di ben sei gol in serie A nel solo mese di gennaio.Quando tutto lasciava presagire un finale di partita in controllo da parte della Juve, maestra nel gestire le situazioni border line con un solo gol di vantaggio, o di "corto muso" allegriano ecco il colpo di scena, l'empolese Baldanzi scocca un destro improvviso che supera Szczesny infilandosi all'angolino della porta bianconera.Allianz Stadium ammutolito.Finisce così, con un pareggio come detto, amaro e nonostante l'incidente di percorso di Milik, inaspettato per i giocatori e tifosi bianconeri.Ora testa a San Siro dove la vecchia signora si presenterà come cavallo di rincorsa, un punto dietro i nerazzurri.Non mancherà poi uno sguardo ai recenti colpi in questo mercato di riparazione.Quel diavolo di Cristiano Giuntoli nelle ultime ore del calciomercato invernale ha sferrato l'affondo decisivo su Carlos Alcaraz.Giovanissimo centrocampista argentino classe 2002, omonimo del ben più conosciuto tennista spagnolo.Juventus e Southampton si sono accordate su un prestito oneroso con diritto di riscatto di 3 milioni e 700 mila, più 200 mila euro di oneri accessori.La cifra potrebbe aumentare fino a un altro milione e 900 mila euro, in base agli obiettivi che potranno essere raggiunti durante la stagione e con un riscatto fissato a circa 49 milioni.Di questo e altro parleremo in questa puntata!

Read the episode transcript here.   Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the first part of a two-part episode. Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it's released later this week.   I met Jo Ellen about six or seven years ago when I was studying for the GG, or the Graduate Gemology degree. In order to pass it, I needed to identify about 18 stones and get them all right, and I only had three chances to do that. This was daunting to me because I'm not a science person; I'm not a math person or anything. I wasn't working with the stones. I wasn't working in a jewelry store, so I really didn't have the opportunity to handle the stones. I called another appraiser, Charlie Carmona, whom we've had on this podcast, and asked him for a recommendation for a tutor. I thought it was a pretty weird recommendation that I was asking for, but he immediately recommended Jo Ellen, and I never looked back. She's been a great tutor. It was a few years ago, but she helped me a lot.   She knows a lot about jewelry, and not just jewelry, but I find her extremely knowledgeable about vintage and antique pieces. I have talked to and been to enough appraisers to know that this is its own specialty. She's also been helpful when it comes to directing me to researchers for whatever I need. She pointed me in the right direction. Today, she's going to share with us the books that she thinks will help us with our jewelry journey. Jo Ellen, welcome to the program.   Jo Ellen: Thank you so much for having me. I'm happy to be here.   Sharon: I'm so glad that you deigned to be on. Now, tell us, with a GG, which is part of the GIA, you can do a lot of things. So, why did you go into appraisal as opposed to other things?   Jo Ellen: Well, I found that I was lacking in salesmanship abilities, to say the least. I'm just not a salesperson, but I love to categorize; I love to research. Appraising seemed to fit that bill very well. Plus, when I realized that I was not good at sales, I met Charles Carmona, whom you mentioned before, at American Society of Appraisers—no, it was the AGA. I can't remember what that stands for, but it was a meeting. I met him, and a couple of years later, he asked me to work with him and I jumped on it. It was a wonderful experience. He's still my mentor. He's so knowledgeable and knows so much about appraising. I always feel comfortable talking to him about any problem I might encounter. He's been very instrumental.   Sharon: And a big name in the L.A. market, I would say.   Jo Ellen: He's really gone worldwide. He has three laboratories in China and Thailand as well.   Sharon: I didn't realize that.   Jo Ellen: Yeah, he's really opened up his market. He also leads a lot of traveling groups and things. He's very well-known.   Sharon: I knew he was well-known in Los Angeles, but I didn't know he was that well-known around the world.   Jo Ellen: Having factories in Africa, he's been around doing a lot of different things.   Sharon: I've stopped purchasing books when it comes to novels or something like that. I just listen to them. Why should I purchase a book as opposed to listening online when it comes to jewelry? Why should I purchase a jewelry book?   Jo Ellen: What I've noticed is that when I go online to research prices of jewelry, which I do often, I find that a lot of the information I find is not correct. I think part of the reason for that is because it's so easy to list something online. It gets your name out there, so people do that. However, they don't always double check their information. There's a lot of misinformation out there.   Whereas in a book, it takes a lot longer to set it up, edit it, make sure everything's proper. I've been able to count on the information coming from books a lot better than I have been from online sources. However, I must say there is certainly a good reason to look online as well. Some of the information is very good. It's just that, personally, I feel more comfortable with a book form. Then, you can revisit that if you need to. It's easier to find.   Sharon: Do you have to know if it's right or wrong before you look at a book?   Jo Ellen: You have to figure that out on your own. But generally, if you have a good background in terms of knowledge of gems and gemology and antique jewelry from reading through books, a lot of times, you'll find that information is incorrect when you go online.   Sharon: I know instances where I've found incorrect information about pearls or something like that. I wouldn't say I'm any kind of expert, but I know it's incorrect.   Jo Ellen: Yeah.   Sharon: Can you tell us quickly what you do every day? What does an appraiser do every day?   Jo Ellen: If I'm not reviewing a book for a gemological publication like The Gemologist or Gems & Gemology, which doesn't do book reviews anymore—but a lot of times, I'm asked by people in the industry to review new books. So, I do that a lot, which involves going over the book line by line and figuring out what I think is proper and what isn't, or what is clear and what is not. I do that a lot.   I also work at a local auctioneer two days a week, at Abell Auctions, as their fine jewelry director. I'm constantly cataloguing things and looking for prices on things, always encountering something unusual there. You get things from all over the world, and people like to use that venue as a way to sell their items. If I'm not doing that, I'm actually going to people's localities to appraise their jewelry for them, either for insurance purposes or for estate purposes if somebody has passed or wants to set up a trust. I do that a lot, but a lot of my days are spent doing what I love, which is reading.   Sharon: You sound pretty conscientious to look at a book that closely when you're writing a book review.   Jo Ellen: For me, it's really important to get it right. Generally, most books, even if I don't particularly like them, I can at least validate that their information is correct. I did have one book about a year-and-a-half ago that was just so egregious in its information I had to give it a bad review, which I've never done before. I called up the editor the week before it was due and said, “Why are you even covering this book? It's so awful.” He asked why, and I started pointing out little things. He was like, “Oh,” but he published the review anyhow. I didn't feel great about it because I don't like to slam people for things, but it was just so awful I had to point it out.   Sharon: So, we should do our own reading, both online and with books.   Jo Ellen: Absolutely.   Sharon: Let's talk about a book or books and talk about the history. If you want to learn about the history of jewelry through the ages, what would you look at?   Jo Ellen: There are a couple of really good books. When you write a book, it seems like the best formula is always to start at the beginning and take them through the ages. That's what they do with jewelry history. Usually, they'll start with prehistoric jewelry and how jewelry first came to be—it's one of the oldest things that humans have done that marks them as humans—and then it goes through medieval times and Renaissance, and then to Georgian and Victorian and Arts and Crafts or the Aesthetic Period, and then through Art Nouveau and Art Deco and Retro and on up to modern jewelry for today. That's usually how a book on jewelry history is set up. There are couple of really good ones out there that encapsulate what you need to know in terms of jewelry history.   Sharon: Before you tell us that, I wanted to tell our listeners that we will have all this information on the website. Yes, take notes, but you don't have to write everything down; it'll be on our website.   Jo Ellen: Yeah, I created a list of things that you can look for. One of the main books I recommend for overall jewelry history is a book called “Understanding Jewelry.” It's by David Bennett and Daniela Mascetti, who were both cataloguers at Sotheby's for many years and very knowledgeable in their field. It really helps to set up all those different ages of jewelry and gives wonderful examples and photographs. It's a picture book as well as an informative book, but all the information they offer has always been spot-on. I've learned so much from that book. It's one that I would definitely recommend.   Sharon: I've probably seen it in every jewelry office that has books. I see that book.   Jo Ellen: It's a great book. It really is. Another good one that's much simpler and has more pictures is a book called “Warman's Jewelry.”   Sharon: Warman's?   Jo Ellen: Yeah, W-A-R-M-A-N. The second edition was actually written by a good friend of mine, Christie Romero, who has since passed on. She used to be on the Antiques Roadshow. You'd see her on Antiques Roadshow a lot, a very knowledgeable woman. She had started her journey by traveling down to Mexico and learning all about Mexican silver and then just expanded from there. She used to give classes on jewelry at Valley College in Los Angeles. She just knew how to present things in such a way that it was very easy to assimilate that information.   It has tons and tons of pictures. It also has a jewelry timeline. It's very thorough for being such an easily read book. There are even some prices in there, I think. It's now an older book, and I think there have been other editions that have been written since hers, but I always liked hers because I'm familiar with it. So, that's another good one that I would offer.   Sharon: What about a book if we want to be more specific, like Georgian or Victorian jewelry? It's funny that when you say prehistoric, you could take many of the prehistoric pieces and wear them today and nobody would know the difference. But it seems to jump then to Renaissance.   Jo Ellen: Because it has to do with the Dark Ages. A lot of it is about human history and civilization. During the Dark Ages, people were in such terrible shape as a civilization, they didn't have time to decorate themselves, so they usually used items from the past. There wasn't a lot of information coming out between, let's say, the 5th and 13th centuries. Then things started rolling again once society got more stabilized.   Sharon: Is there a particular book we should look at if we want to pick up where society picked up? Let's say Georgian.   Jo Ellen: There's a really good book on jewels of the Renaissance by Yvonne Hackenbroch. It's quite a tome. It's big, and it goes through the history of civilization as well as jewelry. It talks about the light occurring in the beginning of the Renaissance, when people started realizing there's more to life than just eating and sleeping and staying alive. You can decorate yourself. You can show your social status by what you wear, some of it being jewelry. That's a very good book for the Renaissance period.   There's also another Renaissance book called “Renaissance Jewels and Jeweled Objects: From the Melvin Gutman Collection” by Parker Lesley. It shows wonderful examples of Renaissance-oriented jewelry. There's one called the Hope Pearl Jewel. It's this big, baroque pearl that's decorated as the body of a man. It's very well known. It demonstrates jewels like that.   Sharon: From there, does it continue to Georgian and Victorian?   Jo Ellen: Yeah, there's a really good book, “Georgian Jewelry 1714-1830,” by Ginny Redington and Tom Dawes with Olivia Collings. It's great because I had never seen a book specifically on Georgian jewelry. It's not glamorous jewelry because the techniques weren't there. It's just that people wanted to adorn themselves to help their social status. It's very collectable today. People collect Georgian jewelry all the time. It goes through the period before Queen Victoria took the throne and clarifies a lot of things. And, again, the information is spot-on. I've never had a problem with these books. When I go to confirm that information, I've never had a problem with it.   Sharon: I don't collect Georgian jewelry, but I do know it's very hard to find.   Jo Ellen: Yeah, it is, but it shows up at different auctions, sometimes in the most unusual places. Even at Abell Auctions you'll see it. People just hold onto these things. A lot of Georgian jewelry isn't available anymore because people would melt down those items to make new items in a newer fashion, such as a Victorian fashion. They would take the stones out, melt down the metals and then either recast them or remake them in some way into a newer-looking form. That's why you don't see a lot of Georgian jewelry anymore.   Sharon: How about Victorian jewelry? There seems to be a lot of it.   Jo Ellen: There's a lot of Victorian jewelry. Even though people also did it then, where they would melt things down and make a new piece out of older pieces, there is a lot of Victorian jewelry because Queen Victoria, whom that period is named after, wore a lot of jewelry. She was a big jewelry person. She loved jewelry and she used it for sentimental reasons to give imagery, to bestow favor on people. So, there's a lot of it around because people would want to copy her. Everybody started doing that. You'll have mourning jewelry from Victorian times.   A lot of historical things happened during her reign, such as the finding of diamonds in South Africa, which changed the diamond market forever. Before then, there were diamonds from Brazil, primarily, or India, but they're very hard to come by and very, very expensive. Once they opened up the diamond fields in South Africa, you started getting a lot more diamond jewelry.   Sharon: By mourning, you mean if somebody dies?   Jo Ellen: Yeah. A lot of times, when someone would die, they would leave a certain amount of money in their will to make mourning rings or pendants for their friends and family to remember them by. So, you have this memento mori-type jewelry which has its own collecting base. People collect their little pendants, which are like little baskets with a little enamel skeleton inside, little rings that say the man or woman's name written around the inside of the band, all sorts of things like that. It's kind of sweet because, when you think about it, jewelry is one of the few art forms that's worn close to the body. It makes it more sentimental.   Sharon: And the diamonds from South Africa, were they different than the other diamonds, besides being less expensive?   Jo Ellen: The thing with Brazilian diamonds in particular is that they had what they call a lot of knots in them, where their crystals grow into crystals. You would have these harder-to-polish areas. With African diamonds, it's such a pure form that they're easier to polish. They didn't take as much time to polish, and they didn't break on the wheel the way that some of the Brazilian diamonds would break.   Sharon: They used those diamonds in Victorian jewelry?   Jo Ellen: They did.   Sharon: What books should we look at if we want to learn about Victorian jewelry?   Jo Ellen: There is a wonderful book—in fact, I used to know an antique dealer that used to give out these books to his clients because they were wonderfully organized. There's a book called “Victorian Jewelry” by Margaret Flower, and it goes through the different phases of Victorian jewelry. There's an early, a mid and a late phase. What she does is describe exactly what you can see during each of the phases, what types of jewelry. It's very interesting, and it gives you an overall picture of how things came to be during that time period. It's really nicely done.   There's a much larger book I'm still reading because it's so big. It's called “Jewelry in the Age of Queen Victoria” by Charlotte Gere and Judy Rudoe. That also has a lot of very specific information on different types of jewelry, the makers during that time. What's interesting is you'll see the same authors over and over again because these people really use it. It's their way to express themselves as a lifestyle, almost. They're wonderful authors, and they do their research and know what they're talking about. So, those are two Victorian jewelry books I would highly recommend. I think they're wonderfully done.   Then, if you want to go into French jewelry, there's another book called “French Jewelry of the Nineteenth Century” by Henri Vever. It's an enormously fat book. I'm still reading that one as well, but again, it's jewelry makers. It's huge. It gives makers' information and techniques, and it's beautifully done. That's a good book to have as well.   Sharon: First of all, it strikes me that you seem to look at the pictures a lot more. You read. Most people don't read any of the book. They look at the pictures. That's different.   Jo Ellen: They have pictures with jewelry; that's sure to entice you to continue looking.   Sharon: Then what do you go into? Edwardian and Art Nouveau?   Jo Ellen: Before that, there's actually a period called the Aesthetic Period, which is also covered in the “Jewelry in the Age of Queen Victoria” book. It was in the late 1870s through the 1900s. There were certain makers that specialized in it, like Child & Child of London. They would make these beautiful pieces that harkened back to classical times but using new techniques and materials. That was a specific period. It was a very small period, but all the jewelry that was done during that time is beautifully done. There's a book by Geoffrey Munn called “Castellani and Giuliano,” and it talks about that specific time period. For example, Castellani was known for taking antique or ancient jewelry and refiguring it for that time period around the 1900s.   Sharon: He was a goldsmith?   Jo Ellen: He was a goldsmith. It was actually two brothers who were goldsmiths. One of the brothers was very politically active and lost an arm when they were demonstrating or something. He got put in jail, but the other brother kept on, and then their children took over after them. In Giuliano's case, which was another manufacturer in Rome, he was known for his enamels. You will see jewelry specifically with black and white enamel accenting other colored enamels. The work is beautifully done, and it's very detailed.   Sharon: We may be going back a few years. What was Berlin iron, and when was that popular?   Jo Ellen: Berlin ironwork, I believe, was like 1840 through 1860. It was a result of people giving up their precious metals for the Prussian Wars that were happening at that time. They would make this Berlin ironwork, which is very delicate and lacey, but it was made out of iron because they didn't want to use precious metals for that; they wanted to use it for warfare. So, they would use ironwork as a substitute for precious metals. There are some beautifully intricate bracelets and necklaces. It looks like lace. It's really beautiful.   Sharon: Is it wearable?   Jo Ellen: It is wearable. It's kind of a Gothic look, so it's a heavier look. I don't know if you'd want to wear it every day because, again, it's kind of—I hate to say gloomy, but it is kind of a sober look because it's black and the tracery is so fine. But it's certainly wearable.   Sharon: After the Aesthetic Period, we have Edwardian and Art Deco. What do we have?   Jo Ellen: What we start with is Arts and Crafts, which is actually my favorite period. I have a lot of books on it, but there are a couple that were really good in terms of pushing forward the information I knew. One is a book called “Jewelry and Metalwork in the Arts and Crafts Tradition” by Elyse Zorn Karlin, who's a very active member of the jewelry industry. She gives lectures. It's this wonderful book on Arts and Crafts jewelry and metalwork and leads you through the making of it with the guilds.   They tried to restart jewelry guilds in England where everything was made from first to last by the same person. The metal would be drawn and shaped by the person. If enamels were used, they would make the enamels themselves and apply them themselves. The stone setting was done by the same person. That was the beginning of Arts and Crafts, the person making the piece from beginning to end. Usually they're not terribly intricate, but they're beautifully fashioned with a lot of feeling. It's a very comfortable look, and it's infinitely wearable. The first part of Arts and Crafts started around 1883 through 1900. Then there was a repeat of it between around 1920 and 1935, around the same time as Art Deco.   What I forgot to mention during the Aesthetic Period was Carl Fabergé from Russia. He did a lot of Aesthetic pieces.   Sharon: He did the eggs, right?   Jo Ellen: He did the eggs for the Russian monarchy, but he also did jewelry for everyday people. He would make little, miniature enameled eggs for the general Russian population. Those still come up today once in a while. I saw an entire necklace of Fabergé eggs, all in different enamel colors beautifully done. Everything is so beautifully fashioned. You can tell they really took time in every single aspect of the making of that jewel. That's what I love about it. It shows so much attention to detail.   Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website. Please head to the JewelryJourney.com to check them out.
