I Believe... Introduction

Christianity, in common with other faiths, has employed signs and symbols in its iconography from the earliest times and jewellery has been a common medium for them. The Fish, the Cross and the faces and figures of the holy story have all become brooches, necklaces and rings.
The change in the philosophical view of the world that came with the physical discoveries of the eighteenth and nineteenth century can be mapped in new forms of jewellery as classical iconography and geological specimins vied with the christian insignia for body space.
