When Gold Blossoms presents the Susan L. Beningson collection of Indian jewelry. The focus of the collection is gold jewelry from the south of India, in particular, jewelry for deities and women. The collection began with a necklace that Beningson bought to wear and a pair of earrings that she found to match. It is a collection based not on academic principle but on the pleasures of seeing, touching, and wearing. When Gold Blossoms gives us the chance to share in the wearers' pleasures with careful, close viewing.
