Inside the Jewel Vault with Dr Jack Ogden

In this episode of Inside the Jewel Vault, my guest from the great & the good of the jewellery world is the world leading expert on ancient metalwork and technology, Dr Jack Ogden. He selects six pieces from his life and career to put into a fantasy Jewel Vault, ultimately choosing that one special treasure to keep safe forever.

This was the very first podcast we recorded so I think you might hear how nervous I was, but Jack was so charming and kind – I could have easily doubled the length of our conversation because he was really easy to chat to. Despite the highly academic nature of his research, Jack talks so fluently and engagingly that his passion and regard for ancient jewellery materials and technology shines brightly. The spellbinding magic of the ancient jewels he selects comes vividly alive as he shares with us some of their secrets. In over 45 years of research, Jack has studied an astonishing quantity of ‘real’ treasure - gems, ancient jewels and precious artefacts discovered or passed down through the ages from the hands of their ancient craftsmen and owners. A fourth-generation jeweller, Jack has successfully straddled both the jewellery industry and the academic realm in his career. The author of innumerable books and scholarly articles, his first book Jewellery of the Ancient World was hailed as a masterpiece and earnt him a Doctorate from Durham. He is considered one of the foremost scholars in his field, and along with research for his books, he is a renowned consultant in dating and authenticating jewels from the Ancient to the Medieval worlds. He was appointed Visiting Professor of Ancient Jewellery, Material and Technology, at the BCU in 2019. He is also the current President of The Society of Jewellery Historians https://www.societyofjewelleryhistorians.ac.uk
