TV presenter Margaret Pomeranz didn't wear jewellery when the Movie Show started 20 years ago and only began wearing earrings when Margaret Kirkwood suggested they would frame her face on TV. Singer-songwriter Linda Janssen was drawn to the designs on Zara Collins' chopstick earrings and bracelets after realising they were similar to motifs on her parents' dinnerware when she was growing up. Curator Rhana Devenport initially took a memento from her grandmother to Barbara Heath, thus evolving an ongoing maker-collector relationship.

Baubles, Bangles and Beads includes over 90 pieces of contemporary Australian jewellery sourced from 15 private collections. Each work offers an insight into the life of the collector from whom it was borrowed.

A Bathurst Regional Art Gallery touring exhibition.
