The majority of women would be lost without their signature jewellery pieces. Jewellery has always served as more than just a fashion accessory. Whether it's an elaborate bespoke diamond jewellery or a string of pearls, jewellery generally has sentimental value.

Can we get something that women in their 30s and 40s might actually like? I mean, "hey! we have disposable income now! can you make something decent enough to spend it on?" I feel like if Marvel haven't figured out that there's a market for women here too then they've been sleeping. It'd be nice to get something before I'm as old as Bernie. :/

Movie: Cat On A Hot Tin Roof (1958)

Throughout the entirety of the film, a simple gold necklace with a dainty heart-shaped pendant is a staple of Margaret "Maggie the Cat" Pollitt (Elizabeth Taylor). The understated glam of the pendant and the simple elegance of her costumes designed by Helen Rose allows Elizabeth's performance to really shine through, especially since she is known for flaunting her legendary jewelry collection.

Her real-life third husband, film producer Mike Todd, had the necklace made for Elizabeth, along with an identical one for his mother, as a Valentine's Day gift. Elizabeth was photographed wearing it on February 12, 1958 during a press trip to Europe and the 1958 Golden Globe Awards.

The sentiment Elizabeth felt for the necklace was clearly attached to the fact that she received it shortly before Mike died in a plane crash on March 22, 1958. She wore the necklace constantly for almost two years after he died, including his funeral, her wedding to Eddie Fisher and as part of her costume in Suddenly, Last Summer (1959). It wasn’t until 1960 when Taylor landed on the set of Cleopatra (1963) in Rome that the necklace became less of a mainstay in her daily jewels.

Not much is known about the necklace's current location, but Elizabeth may have bequeathed it in her will, just as her former mother-in-law passed it down to her granddaughter, Liza Todd, Elizabeth's only daughter with Mike Todd since it is not part of any of the auctions to benefit the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation throughout the years as well as the Christie's live auction, The Collection of Elizabeth Taylor: The Legendary Jewels after her passing.

the jewellery in Game of Thrones NEVER went off in the way that it should have and it makes me so mad, where were the pearls?? the amethysts?? rubies?? emeralds?? sapphires?? and the gold was not gold-ing like it should... even Cersei Lannister's lion pendant looked goddamn BRONZE, Lannister gold should have that super yellow pure gold look

the jewellery in House of the Dragon is SO! MUCH!! BETTER!! We have gold that looks gold, RhaeRhae and Ali are constantly wearing gemstone rings, different characters have distinct tastes, like Helaena and her creole hoops and Alicent with her chestplate (that fucking massive 7 pointed star that looks like it repels bullets) AND I love how much Rhaenyra's valyrian necklace from her unclehusband stands out compared to every other piece on the show! it's! all! so! good!

I am such a simp for good jewellery

[madamemoonscosplay]

Today I made a tiny, little sparkle...

It's the necklace. I made the necklace you see before you. I got inspired last night to make it to go with my kirtle, and this morning I finished it.

I love it so much I could cry.

Extra close up pic because really, what's life without a bit of extravagance. (This was before I finished it)

Shocking! The surreal worlds of Elsa Schiaparelli (Shocking! Les Mondes Surréalistes d’Elsa Schiaparelli)

Shocking! Les Mondes Surréalistes d’Elsa Schiaparelli

(Shocking! The surreal worlds of Elsa Schiaparelli)

In twenty-five years, Elsa Schiaparelli has made fashion a natural breath of the avant-garde, a playground in which to reinvent both woman and femininity, allure as well as spirit, in a work that remains unique. striking news. It embodies a vision of a dazzling and vibrant Paris, curious about everything, having fun with each novelty.

It is this incredible freedom of creation that the exhibition wishes to offer visitors, freedom to surprise, freedom to dialogue, freedom to be oneself, through models, designs and jewellery, many of which, thousands for the drawings in particular were donated in 1973 by Elsa Schiaparelli to the Union française des Arts du costume, of which the Musée des Arts Décoratifs holds the funds. As a last modern gesture, that of preserving his artistic heritage to transmit it and thus allow history to continue, timeless, that of having lived his art as the fruitful place of the most unexpected and the most fertile crossings.

Movie: Indiscreet (1958)

Anna Kalman (Ingrid Bergman), a famous London-based theater actress, attends a posh dinner for high-ranking financial officials. She wears a Dior scoop neck two-tone black dress with an impressive necklace that features two strips of diamonds interlocking in the middle around a large ruby, a design that is unconventional for the time period.

Christian Dior was in charge of Ingrid's entire wardrobe for the film, so it is not inconceivable that the necklace was provided by fashion house as well.
