Women, as the “keepers” of cherished stories, experiences, and memories have had a voice and have used language to pass these down as a precious legacy from generation to generation. Worn in the collaborative film, “Necklace of Time” the jewels of youth are exchanged for shared memories. Symbolically, the concept of beauty attains a subjective and spiritual rather than stereotyped meaning.
