The 3rd day

From one landmark mark to another, I began today at the Victoria & Albert museum in South Kensington. The William & Judith Bollinger Jewellery gallery hosts a vast collection of jewellery, spanning room earlier than 1000BC right up to now. The collection is made up from what seems like every material/element on the earth and I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few from further reaches.

The exhibition walks you through by date and covers pretty ch every major event in our histological diary. From the iron jewellery which became status symbols around the Great War in Berlin to the large (huge) carat rings on display from The Hope Collection.

It's a very informative exhibition and even if you glimpse over the cases you'll still, eve f subconsciously, pick up inspiration for your next party, kitchen colour scheme or even an outfit, so go check it out. Admissions is free!
