"The
Charleston Silver Lady"
Dawn Evers Corley, a native
Charlestonian, honed her skills
and love of antique silver on King
Street in downtown Charleston.
With over twenty years experience
she has become a well known
name in the antiques trade and a
much sought after lecturer in the
field of fine jewelry.
Dawn has been a consultant
to the White House, the
Joint Chiefs of Staff and museums
throughout the U.S. and Europe. She
has appeared on national and local television.
Her home is featured regularly on HGTV's "If

Chuck
and Dawn Evers Corley: Treasures of the Orient
In
the first of a two-part program, Corley
will teach us to "read" the design and begin to understand 17th and 18th century Chinese
porcelain from his 3000-piece private collection which includes
Paul Revere's wedding china. He will tell stories to
educate us on color, symbols and the meanings behind
the lovely hand-painted pieces.
Mrs. Corley, known to us as the "Charleston silver lady," will focus on pearls---all kinds! Showing us over 300 strands, she will mesmerize us as she has twice before on other enthralling subjects. Her pearls are directly from her own pearl diver in Beijing. The Corleys will appraise items for you in their specialties.
