Abstract
For the past 20 years critics have explored the many hundred references to jewellery in Shakespeare's work as signs of a preoccupation with sexual identity and possession. This paper considers the significance of Shakespearean jewels in a different light: as worked objects whose integrity is a source of persistent anxiety. Reviewing Jacobean controversies concerning jewellers, and changes in the consumption, display and regulation of their work, the paper unfolds the wide range of ethical questions that underlie the presence of and references to jewels in Shakespeare's work. © 2016 The Author, 2016.
