Archaic communities possessed a deep understanding of gems, long before such knowledge reached the West, where it emerged much later through trade and scholarly exchanges. Meticulously documented in sacred texts, trade records, and state treatises, this wisdom shaped the way gems were valued and used.
In this illuminating talk, gem expert, journalist, and author Richa Goyal Sikri unveils how coloured gemstones shaped societies, conveyed power, and safeguarded destinies—wisdom that continues to resonate in our modern world. The talk will emphasise the use of gems and gem material in ancient Egypt, India and beyond.
