ESSE Purse Museum & Store Special Exhibit "Crimson Moon"

Join ESSE Museum and Store for our next exhibit, “Crimson Moon: An Exhibit Featuring the Jewelry Collection of Leesa Renshaw,” premiering March 4th and running through June 1st.

From Amber to Art Deco, Neolithic to Novelty, Renshaw’s acquisitions span the centuries and the globe. Jewelry not only holds the beauty of adornment but also the history of its materials and for Renshaw, the quest for these iconic pieces is just as thrilling as acquiring them. You’ll be filled with wonder and whimsy as you journey through 13 themes within her vast collection, each design rooted in the style of its time and culture of its origin. Perhaps this collection will pique your interest in exploring women’s history through artifacts like jewelry, inspiring you to search for acquisitions of your own.
