 Join AI host Alex Calder as she explores the fascinating psychology behind humanity's timeless obsession with jewels and precious stones. Drawing from evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and compelling historical accounts, this episode reveals why sparkle literally hijacks our attention and how jewels have shaped power dynamics throughout history. From Cleopatra's legendary pearl to Princess Diana's sapphire, discover how these glittering objects serve as vessels for identity, immortality, and desire. Alex examines the costly signaling theory, the brain's reward system response to shimmer, and the dangerous tension created when priceless treasures sit behind museum glass—desire that doesn't disappear but simply waits for the right moment to become action. A thought-provoking journey through ten thousand years of human psychology, all centered on objects that compress time, value, and meaning into something small enough to hold in your palm.
