Tiaras tell the story in the Downton Abbey movie and the ones worn by the main characters are real antiques. 💎 Click the link in bio for the jewelry movie review on the film that topped the box office this weekend beating out some formidable contenders. 🎬#jewelrymoviereview #tiara #tiaras #antiquetiaras #maggiesmith #downtonabbey
This Sweet Pea brooch on display in the exhibition ‘Jewelry For America’ at the @metmuseum was made around 1900. ✨ The mind blowing plique-a-jour enamel is far more sculptural than the vast majority of the work that was being done by Art Nouveau jewelry designers in Paris. The buds on the jewel are pink conch pearls. 💗 Marcus & Company was established in 1892 and went out of business around World War II. Raymond C. Yard was a salesman at the firm before he went into business for himself. 🎨 Rockwell Kent, a graphic artist who was famous for the best-selling novels he wrote and illustrated about his travels in the wilderness, did the advertising campaign for Marcus in the 1920s. 📝 #marcus #conchpearls #metmuseum #jewelryhistory #pliqueajour
Lady Mary Hood received the engraved emerald at the center of this Art Deco brooch - in the @bonhamsjewels London sale - around 1813 from Mughal Emperor Akbar II. During the period - the aristocratic beauty who inspired Sir Walter Scott’s famous narrative poem The Lady of the Lake was rumored to attract the attention of Indian royalty by the splendor of her travels. The Persian engraving on the gem has been translated to: ”cream of the pillars of the state, Queen and music of the age, Mary Frederica Elizabeth Hood, noblest of women, Princess, child of the Majesty of Mahommed Akbar, the Emperor, the Warrior. 1813” 💎 The treasure is on view now at Bonhams’ New Bond Street location. It goes on the auction block on Tuesday. ✨ Head to the link bio to find out more about the jewel and other highlights in the sale.
