@BLUMFIELDS'NEWS:David Webb 1960"Women Are Tired Of Jewelry-Looking Jewelry,& They Want One Of The Kind Pieces ...Animals Are Here To Stay."

Since 1948,David Webb Has Been The Quintessential American Jeweler Of Highly Original,modern Jewelry.Best Known For Distinctive Enameled Animal Ring And Bracelet.All of the jewelry is made on the premises in New York,as it had been since 1948.The first David Webb  animal ring was in 1957; By the end of the 1960 ,the smart set and all of Hollywood wore their David Webb animal jewelry,still in our days as Emilia Clarke. Last Year ,David Webb was holding its first exhibition.It dips into the house's archives, examining its animal jewelry that rose the prominence in midcentury America ,becoming an essential of its ADN.

When Royal Family Have Added New Pieces Themselves They have had existing Jewelry Pieces Dismantled and Remodelled -A Stategy That Began With Queen Mary To keep Up With Current Styles And Trends.

The Crown Jewels are kept in the Jewel Room in the Tower Of London and comprise 142 pieces of regalia with 23,578 polished gemstones.The Queen's personal jewelry collection is less distinct :a coterie of brooches, necklaces and tiaras inheroted from grandmothers and aunts one likes the imagine she kept hidden away in old sock drawers(we doubt it).This collection is , however , no less impressive and overflows as much with global history as it does familial anecdote,as can be expected when your family is no "ordinary" family.Most of these pieces snake a line between fascinating artefacts of history and family sentiment.Much of the collection,the Qeen inherited from her jewelry obsessed grandmother Queen Mary.It is perhaps one of the most touching examples of how Elisabeth's two sides intersected in her jewels-a tiara known as a shorthand for royalty,was simply known to her "Granny's".The Queen famously loaned her jewelry on many occasions .The Lover's knot Tiara ,was initially made for Queen Mary by Garrard . It was  loaded to Diana as a wedding gift from the Queen and had been seen on Kate ,the new Princesse of Wales.Since Queen Mary's glittering spending sprees, the royals have actually rarely purchased new jewelry. In fact ,when Charles purchased Diana's now famous sapphire and diamond ring from Garrard in 1981,It caused quite a stir for being a "new" piece.Most  of the new additions to the royal Jewelry collection in recent decades have been gifts , not purchases . When royals have addded new pieces themselves, they have occasionally acquired antique jewelry, but more frequently they have had existing pieces dismantel and remodelled - a stategy that began with Queen Mary ,more than a century ago,who loved to revork and renovate her exiting jewels to keep up with current styles and trends.  

BLUMFIELDS'Coup de Foudre Pour Suzanne BELPERRON ,Des Bijoux Qui ne sont Jamais Des "Indicateurs De Richesse"-Des bijoux Qui Ne Sont Jamais"Habillés ou soir"

BLUMFIELDS coup de foudre pour Suzanne Belperron remonte a plus d'une trentaine d' années .Suzanne Belperron et jean Herz ferment leur compagnie parisienne en1974.Même s'il n'était pas connu du grand public,le nom de Belperron était révéré par de nombreuses personnalités comme Jean Cocteau,Mrs Gary Cooper, Daisy Fellow ,Clark Gable,Elsa Schiaparelli,Lauren Bacall,Catherine Deneuve et Karl Lagerfeld....Ce collier en perles de turquoise avec fermoir "col de cygne"était destiné à la collection personnelle de madame Belperron il represente tous ce que BLUMFIELDS aime car ce bijoux ,comme tous les bijoux Belperron ne sont jamais des "indicateurs de richesse". Ils ne font jamais "habillé"ou "soir".  

Why Is Turquoise So Expensive?

The Word Turquoise can be traced to the 17th century and is derive from the French word "turqois" meaning "Turkishc"beccause it came though Europe via Turkey from the mines in historical Khorasan, Iran.The stone is formed by a chemical reaction water containing specific minerals like copper and aluminium leaks though rocks.This reaction forms in veins, wich so much later ,years and years later ,forms a clumps of turquoise.This is a gemstone that's rich in history.the earliest evidence of it being used in jewelry is found in Egypt where turquoise jewelry was found in royal burials as far back 6000 years ago.TURQOISE PRICE:Though there are mines producing turquoise around the world,the stone quality they produce is but a pittance vis a-vis the world'sdemand.And where a gem is rare and quality demand is high,you can expect it to be expensive.The price of cabochon cut turquoise depending on a lot of factors,foremost of which is its quality.Note 1 TURQUOISE CARAT =0,2gm. A grade AAAA (superior)is 500$-1000$ per Carat.AAAA,AAA,AA-high-grade natural turquoise unlike other gemstone,such as diamonds,there is a dearth of materials concerning turquoise grading.Currently,there are two grading systhems:the Persian Method and the American Method. PERSIAN METHOD:Turquoise id graded according to color,hardness,clarity,size,color,cut ,weight and availability. THE AMERICAN METHOD is based on the mine that produced it .Thus,it has the following turquoise grades.Carico Lake,Dry Creek,Golden Hill,Ithaca Peak,Kingman,King Manassa,Number Eight,Red Mountain, Peaple these days are more fashion-conscious than their predecessors.They want to dress up,look good and life to the fullest. Corollary to this is their penchant for jewelry.They want to wear jewelry with a blast from the past.Jewelry items to make a statement.They want to mix their collection with variety of colors ;their turquoise cabochon tempered with diamons ans amethystes like the one in this "NETTARE DI CAPRI" by BLUMFIELDS(Photo)Peaple find the cabochon turquoise unique in the sense that very few minerals on Earth have the kind of blue found in the stone.Robert Redford and Raquel Welch wore turquoise jewelry,as well as Cameron Diaz and Megan Fox.This speaks of the span of attractiveness and beauty the stone possesses.It means just on the off-chance that you want to add another color  to your jewelry collection .

@BLUMFIELDS:How to Wear a Sautoir Necklace .

A sautoir necklace is a very long necklace .,often mas of breads,pearls or chains. The distinctive trait of a sautoir design is that it has a dangle,or wrap design which traditionally ends in tassels,althrough this is not a necessary part of the design.sautoir is a French term which means"jump rope".One can easily see why it is applied to this necklace style . The length.This length is the main consideration for a necklace to be considered a sautoir as well.The height of popularity of sautoir necklaces was during the 1920s. Think back to the 1920s,remenber those fabulous , long flowing garments that were worn? This type of clothing required jewelry that set off the long sleek lines with fashions which were such a chang from earlier , much more cumbersome garments . The Sautoir became so popular then because it accessorized so well with thes fashions.Since the necklaces were long and flowing, they were the perfect accent . One of the most well known designers of sautoir neclaces was Coco Chanel.She is well known for modern renditions of early Edwerdian style in long strands of pearls and "chicklet" necklaces which featured unfoiled rhinestones that were linked together in a long chainline fashion. The Sautoir is a versatile and playful piece of jewelry ,the sautoir can easily blend with your morning or evening attire . Feel free to experiment wearing a long white shirt with with jeans or a simple jumper or a little black dress; A sautoir can enhance your style instantly. A sautoir is a timeless and elegant accessory for all women,without exceptions. A sautoir is exceptional savoir-faire that BLUMFIELDS  wants to perpetuate for generations to come .

BLUMFIELDS'NEWS:How To Judge Quality In Star Sapphire ?Value ,Price & Jewelry Information.

Ideally,the star in a star sapphire should be perfecty centered when viewed from directly above ,with each ray of equal lenght.The rays should be bright ,sharp,and clearly defined-not blurry or fuzzy-and they should reach from the crown of the cabochon to the base without interruption. Star sapphires occur in almost every color seen in transparent sapphires ,although yellow,orange,and green star sapphires are very uncommon.The optical phenomenon responsible for the star sapphire's shimmering rays is called asterism ,from the Latin word astrum,for "star".Asterim is caused by small needle-like inclusions of mineral rutile .Back star sapphires owe their stars and their dark color to  included crystals of the  shiny mineral.Clarity in star sapphires is a complicated issue The ideal star sapphire would be entirely transparent.Fine star sapphires must have enough silk for the bright,well-defined star,without compromising the stone transaprency.

BLUMFIELDS:THE EMPOWERING ART DECO JEWELRY.

The end of the World War heralded a revolt against the excesses of the Edwardian & Belle Epoque eras.First exhibited in paris in 1925, at the Exposition Internationale des Art Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes,Art deco was the visual embodiment of modernist principles .Celebrating the triumph of technology and the sleek ,liberating forms of the machine age ,its emphasis on structure responded to a  widespread desire order in wake of chaos .As women's clothes  became streamlined  ,so did jewelry said Blumfields. Art Deco  forms weren't necessarily simpler,but rather became more linear and streamlined;large gemstones were rejected in favour of small,brillant-cut diamonds .This freer sensibility reflected similar changes in women's fashion,such as the androgynous silouettes designed by  the likes of Poiret and Chanel which liberated women's ability to move.As Art Deco jewelry designers emphasised geometry in their designs,contrasts in colour were also accentuated.Designers also frequently placed rock crystal alongside diamonds . Whethr clear ,carved ,or frosted the contrast of the crystal heightened a diamond's brightness while working within the same color palette.

BLUMFIELDS' PEARL VALUE FACTORS.

Prices of pearls are based on several quality factors.The values provided in this guide are for  round cultured pearls. Baroque pearls are about 25/35 % the cost of round pearls.Natural pearls are extremely rare, are largely limited to auction and collector's markets. These can be worth 10 to 20 times an equivalent AKOYA cutltured pearl. THE QUALITIES that determine the VALUE of YOUR PEARL or a PIECE of PEARL JEWLRY: SIZE-SHAPE-COLOR -LUSTER-SURFACE QUALITY,NACE QUALITY & (for jewelry with two or more pearls)-MATCHING. -SIZE:When other value factors are equal.larger pearls are rarer and more valuable than smaller pearls of the same type. -SHAPE:Round is the most difficult shape to culture,making it the rarest cultured pearl shape and -if all the other factors are equal-also the most valuable. -COLOR:Natural and cultured pearls are occur in a broad range of hues.There are warm hues like yellow ,orange and pink , and cool hues like blue, green and violet.Pearls have a wide range of tone from light to dark.Pearl color can have  three components. Bodycolor is the pearl's dominant overall color.Overtone is one or more translucent colors that lie over pearl's bodycolor . And orient is a shimmer of iridescent raimbow colors on or just below a pearl's surface . All pearls display bodycolor , but only some show overtone , orient, or both.The law of supply and demand determines the value of certain pearl colors at any given time .If supplies of high-quality pearls displaying a preferred color are low ,their prices can rise to unusually high levels .Other factors like fashion trends & cultural traditions,can influence color preferences. LUSTER:Of the seven pearl value factors , luster might be the most important. Luster is what gives a natural or cultured pearl its unique beauty:-Excellent-reflections appear bright and sharp.Very Good-reflections appear bright and near sharp.Good reflections are bright but not sharp & slightly hazy around the edges. Fair -reflections are weak and blurred.Poor-reflections are dim and diffused. SURFACE QUALITY:Like colored stones,most pearls never achieve perfection . Some might show abrasions that look like a series of scratches on surface,or a flattened section that does not affect its basic shape,or an irregular ridge that look like a crease or wrinkle. NACRE QUALITY:Luster & nacre quality are closely related . If the nucleus is visible under the nacre , or if the pearl has a dull,chalky appearance ,you can assume that the nacre is thin. This affects the luster as well as the durability of the pearl. MATCHING:Most pearl stand , earrings, or other multiple-pearl jewelry , the pears should match in all quality factors.  

BLUMFIELDS :THE GRAPHIC ALLURE DOMINATES THE 2021 HIGH JEWELRY SEASON .

Inspired by an era that was both opulent & radically simple ,houses like Boucheron,Van Cleef & Arpels or Blumfields mined their archives for new creations .PARIS 2021 high jewelry may be the beginning of a new era .Although almost no traditional couture sheduled this week, handful of high jewelry houses  -Chanel,Van Cleef & Arpels and Boucheron among them -planned viewings of high jewelry collections by appointment , and keeping with local health guidelines.Other , such as De beers and Cartier ,have mostly transitioned to virtual realm. And few ,including Vuitton, Repossi and Chaumet have moved their collection debuts to march.One thing that has remained constant , how ever , is the lure of Art Deco.Inspired by their own archives from an era that was  both opulent and radically simple , BLUMFIELDS like many Jewelry houses return to that graphic allure with pearls , diamonds with shot of bold color and stylized curves. @BLUMFIELDS, in a more modernist spirit ,precious stones were mingled with ornamental ones .BLUMFIELDS also brought together emeralds , diamonds, corals and turquoises in the spirit of archival pieces dating to early 1920s.The pandemic made 2020 a year of transformation for every jewelry house ,with some moving more their  sales efforts "by appointments" or online , even for high jewelry. BLUMFIELDS ,one of the few independants left in London and Paris ,home to many of the world's biggest jewelry and high jewelry designer and redesigner  maker;Introduced its online boutique ,featuring picture galleries of famous jewelry signed BLUMFIELDS ,which may be purchased though the site & be seen "by appointment in London and Paris.

@BLUMFIELDS:How To Explain The CARTIER Panthere's Enduring Allure.

The panthère can first be spoted in a Cartier wristwatch from 1914,when its signature pattern appeared in diamond and ebony. That year ,a Cartier greeting card prominently featured a feline at the feet of an elegantly dressed woman.Toussaint, who joinded Cartier around 1913 had bigger plans than a postcard for the anumals in her kingdom and pushed her team for more figurative three-dimentional pieces.Twenty years later , the duke of Windsor waolked in the door. The tree-dimensional Cartier Panthere was created in 1948 for his wife.The Duchess of Windsor was not the only woman prey to the panthere :Daisy Fellowes,the singer sewing heiress who made Cartier 's Tutti Frutti necklace famous.How to explain the Panthere's enduring allure?Iconic?Perennial?Ubiquitous?None of these semms stong enough to describe the "Panthere" within the design oeuvre of Cartier  says Blumfields.From the first appearance in jewelry created by Toussaint and then as a motif of art-deco, mid-century,1980s and contempory jewelry the Panthère has been reinvented by Cartier as the tweed suit had been reinterpreted by Chanel.It had respected the ADN of the original inspiration while updating it for modern tastes.

@BLUMFIELDS'NEWS-The All Over Jewelry Style.

The All Over Style is to create layers with Rings , Necklaces and Bangles. Experiment with contrasting lengths ,shapes,textures and colours to make appealing layers with rings, necklaces,bangles and even in some cases earrings.If you are layering necklaces then go for different lengths to draw the eye  up to your face.Different shapes, colours and textures will often work a treat. For bangles and bracelet you can  pretty much create an arm party different pieces witch will flash and jangle as you move. Ring can be mixed ,matched and stacked in all sort of interesting combinations.It 's easy :simply gather together a collection of necklaces and pendants of different lenghts , textures , epoques and designs and try them on in different combinations to see what works.Make a note of the combinations you like if that helps to trigger your memory later.Rinse and repeat with bangles and rings.

@BLUMFIELDS , The Story Behind Charlotte Casiraghi'S Royal Wedding Necklace.

For the crowning jewel  of her bridal look Charlotte Casiraghi was wearing her ccgrandmother's necklace.Accessorising her uber-sleek outfit with some jewel fire-power,the sparkling necklace perfectly complemented both jumpsuit's stapless silouette and Casiraghi Old Hollywood faux bob.It wasn't any old trinket from Grace Kelly's jewellery box that Casiraghi opted for ,but one of the most iconic and treasured pieces from her reign as Princess of Monaco.The necklace from CARTIER was reportedly among the several pieces of jewelry the newly-crowned Princess Grace reicived from rainier on their wedding day 1956.Made by Cartier , the necklace features a distinctive "festoon"design,in that all tree stands of diamonds hang at increasing leugths,creating a cascading effect,anchored by triangle designs at either end.The necklace features up to 58 carats .After receiving it from Prince Rainier,Grace wore the necklace during her official wedding portraits and several important occasions afterwards.

BLUMFIELDS:THE DAY I SENT A GIFT TO MARIE-HELENE DE ROTHSCHILDS.

I sent a present to Marie-Helene de Rothschilds .This was 20 years ago.Giving a gift to Marie-Helene was like sending flowers to Madonna.The chances of its reaching her were somewhere between remote and zero.Even if you hand-delivered  your gift to the Hôtel Lambert-the Rothschilds'Paris home,on île St Louis-as I did, you still had to get it past the concierge ,the footman and the secretary...And yet an avalanche of superlatives crashed down my thumb making for the baroness was,in her unexpectedly husky reckoning "the most exquisite","most beautifull""The only jewelery to have".Immensely wealthy peaple whose hearts are melted by small,humble object are a known type .Still , I felt knighted.Marie-Helene's reaction was in keeping with what her husband wrote in his authobiography :"for her,things were either exiting or odious,marvelous or abominable ,thrilling or unbearable;peaple were either adorable or hateful,friends or foes,angels or monsters".I had been privilage to be one of Marie-Helene 'jewelers'cheri. I remember two days before she expired in a beribboned hospital bed at Ferrieres, she was style ordering the most  beautiful  things...As the most elegant woman she was.

@BLUMFIELDS' Van Cleef & Arpels-Boucheron-Cartier -Buccellati & Chaumet 's 1970s Estates'Vintage's Collecatbles 'Earrings,Rings & Bracelets.

In the field of jewelry,the style of the 1970s does not submit to any aesthetic rule,and the wole decade shows very little unity.If in the firt years of the decade the spell of geometrical abstraction of the 1960s is still alive,by the mid-1970s the "modernity" of geometrical jewelry is definitly considered démodé.Perhaps the most typical charactreistic of jewelry of the 1070s is the re-introduction in their manufacture of rock crystal,coral and exotic woods,the almost exclusive use of yellow gold ,together with a trend for variously and vividly coloured ornements,a development of the chromatic effect of the 1960s..Among of the famous names in the jewelery world to experiment with these materials was David Webb, Van Cleef & Arpels too , in Paris  made great use of rock crystal in their celebrated suites comprising long chains with pendant drop ,earrings and often a ring as well,made of oval or lozenge-shaped links mounted in gold and highlighted with diamonds. Coral is the other material which come back into fashion and reached the peak of its popularity in the mid-1970s after having almost disappeared from jewelry since 1020s.

@BLUMFIELDS-Van Cleef & Arpels :The mystery setting process innovated by Van Cleef & Arpels.

Patented in 1933,the mystery setting process innovated by Van Cleef and Arpels begins with the art  of lapidary. Gemstones, such as diamonds,rubies,sapphires and emeralds are carefully selected for matching color and calibrated the exacting standards,customcut to fit the flowing forms of the jewelry metalthat will support them. each stone is prepared with utmost precision and contains imperceptible grooves across the pavilion below the girdle of the gemstone.It is this delicate and meticulous cut that is crucial to creating the illusion of the seamless surface pf the mystery stting.

HOW BLUMFIELDS FELL IN LOVE WITH BELPERRON DESIGN.

Belperron was modern , before the world was sais Blumfields.The Paris jeweler Suzanne Belperon began working in 1919 at the age 19,and continuded without stopping for the next 56 years. Her life and career spanned the modern movement in the art. Yet when Blumfields is looking at the work of this remarkable woman she can't help but feel she was interested only in her own ideas.This comes as a bit of a shock,multiplied by thousands of drawings she produced over her career,Her designs are so singular:bols,playful,anti-ornamental,that they tend to strip axay one's assumptions about jewelry in the latter half of the century,if not in the piriod before Worl War II.Her effect was nearly that of Coco Chanel fashion;Belperron's scrulptural shapes anticipated modern design and, like Chanel,she showed that high style could come from unfancy elements."She was the first to step away from the classical ideas of jewelry"sais Blumfields."There 's no one like her",Karl Lagerfeld , an avid Belperron collector,said one day last summer in the Chanel studio as he flicked though Iphone images of rock crystal cuffs and brooches set with colored stones."You can pick up most pieces of Belperron and know it is a Belperron. She had a signature" sais Blumfields.But she never signed her work"My style is my signature" Belperron one said."I fell in love with Belperron design on seeing the archives during a spring break in Paris  ate the age of 10" sais Blumfields."I reminber thinking it did not have anything to do with what peaple usually associate with jewelry:fancy stones or decorating a woman."They wear simply beautiful drawings.BLUMFIELDS with style luminaries such as Karl Lagerfeld, Daphne Guinness and Catherine Deneuve among dedicated Belperron collectors of today it makes Blumfields's chance purchas 40 years ago seem very good deal indeed.

@Blumfields :Clip -On Earrings Are Back-Sais Blumfields -The Hystory Of Collectables 1930s-1980s Clip On Earrings.

Clip-on earrings have been around for a little over the century now , and have undergone a few adaptations along the way.The first clip-ons, designed for elegant Victorian Ladies xho consirered it a disgrace to poke holes in oneself.In 1894, These earrings have no hinge and are fastened by tightening  the screw  against the back of the lobe to hold the earringin place -a fully adjustable option for comfort.A more convenient and less fiddly design was the simple hinge clip,arrivingon the market in the mid-1930s. This simple clip, arriving on a hinge to open and close the earrings and fasten them to the lobes Quick and easy to do.The 1950s saw plethora of clip-on earring designs submitted to the patents office, of witch was the one we see most commontly today: The adjustable paddle clip with the spring bar on the hinge . This design has endured because of the sumplicity, ease of use , and cost-effective production.

Raymond Templier The 1920s -1930s "Artist-Jeweler".

Templier was one of the small group of innovative of Art Deco designers producing work in a minimal, geometric style that loocked towards Cubism and the imagery of industrial production. He joined the family business as an "artist-jeweler"in 1922.Raymond Templier personally designed everything with his signature.In 1930, he was a founding member of the French Union of Modern Artists. In 1935, he took over the running of the MAISON TEMPLIER from his father, Paul. His work is in permanent collections of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and London V&A.

@BLUMFIELDS,The Art Of Wearing 1960s Jewelry.

During the 60s,jewellery trends changed dramatically.At beginning of the decade,glamour reigned supreme with glitzy ,gold designs and feminine pearls. However,as the decade moved forward and mod fashion caught on jewellery because all about eye-caching creations. These bold accessories were influenced by pop art and featured striking design,geometric shape and bright colours. Key pieces included large and colored earrings,big and colored rings and bangles. Of course, these styles weren't for everyone,so hippies opted for more simplistic designs.

VAN CLEEF & ARPELS AND ARTISTS :THE PIECES OF JEWELLERY WORKS OF ART AND THE PURCHASER THE IDEALIZED WOMAN IN THE PAINTING

As in many ads for deluxe artivles,the message is understated and concise,leaving the lion's share to illustation. the caption is part of the sales pitch. This visual is fictional in that the association between the jewellery and the artwork is operated by an improbable artifice,decking out the female figure with a diamond necklace?thus the creations of Van Cleef & Arpels are presented as the art of jewellery. This association takes place though the insertion of the diamond and emerald necklace into artwork and the slogan where the signature of the house is "one that count",as is,of course,that of the artist. In short,Van Cleef & Arpels are artists.their pieces of jewellery works of art and the purchaser the idealised woman in painting. These ads often appeared on the back cover of an upscale art magazine(FMR). This is highly desirable placement because the ad is still visible when  the publication is not being read. The target market is cultivated and well-off. In 1995,when Van Cleef & Arpels first tried to penetrate the American market, they stopped using art to get teir message across, they stopped using art to get their message accross. Insted, they began using visuals of real young women wearing the company's jewellery and placed these ads in women's fashion glossies, in order to project a less elitist and intimidating image.

HOW DOES FULCO DI VERDURA A SICILIAN DUKE BECOME A JEWELRY DESIGNER?

How does a Sicilian duke become a jewelry designer? This was the unlikely trajectory of Fulco Santostefano della Cerda, Duke of Verdura and Marquis of Murata la Cerda who was born in 1899 at the Villa Niscemi outside Palermo and died in NY in 1978.His early life ,which he described ,unfolded in a setting and atmosphere worthy of Visconti's film of "The Leopard".It was a world that was already vanishing when Fulco was a child.Although living in the archaic cocoon,the Sicilian nobility nevertheless kept in touch with influential figures in the wider worl, and it was this that gave the young Fulco the opportunity to make friendships that would prove instrumental in fundamentally changing his life.On his father's death in 1923 he inherited the family title,while also learning that the family fortunes could no longer maintain his accustomed lifestyle.This had the effect of freeing himfrom all constraints and encouraging him to make a life elswhere and forge a career-a  rare phenomenon among the aristocracy,for whom an interest in art might be a distraction or entertainment, but never under any circonstances a means of earning a living.After meeting Chanel ,he went to work for her .The great couturier asked him to design jewelry for her.Fulco was soon to wrok wonder as a designer..His baroque, brilliantly colored creation,using tourmalines,aquamarines...then rarely used in jewelry.Verdura was never going to be satisfied with playing second fiddle,however,and decided to set up his own business.In 1934, he moved definitly to NY where Diana Vreeland introduce him to Paul Flato.In 1939 Verdura opened his own business .Ten years later he open a Paris branch. He loved workin in Paris ,wither. outstanding crafmen such as Drouet and Verger.In London he suffered a serious road accident that was gradually to erode his health. In 1950, Verdura stated to paint .Caricatures of his friends were his forte.It was this light wit,that encapsulated the charm of a man who himself embodied all that the Old World could bring to the New:a name sonorous with history,immense knowledge,education, and natural chic.

THE PRE-RAPHAELITE JEWELRY AND ART WERE GREATLY INFLUENCE BY NATURE

The brotherhood's early doctrines, as defined by William Michael Rossetti, were expressed in four declarations: to have genuine ideas to express; to study Nature attentively, so as to know how to express them; to sympathise with what is direct and serious and heartfelt in previous art, to the exclusion of what is conventional and self-parading and learned by rote; and most indispensable of all, to produce thoroughly good pictures and statues. The principles were deliberately non-dogmatic, since the brotherhood wished to emphasise the personal responsibility of individual artists to determine their own ideas and methods of depiction. Influenced by Romanticism , the members thought freedom and responsibility were inseparable. Nevertheless, they were particularly fascinated by medieval culture, believing it to possess a spiritual and creative integrity that had been lost in later eras. The emphasis on medieval culture clashed with principles of realism which stress the independent observation of nature. In its early stages, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood believed its two interests were consistent with one another, but in later years the movement divided and moved in two directions. The realists were led by Hunt and Millais, while the medievalists were led by Rossetti and his followers, Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris . The split was never absolute, since both factions believed that art was essentially spiritual in character, opposing their idealism to the materialist realism associated with Courbet and Impressionism . The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was greatly influenced by nature and its members used great detail to show the natural world using bright and sharp focus techniques on a white canvas. In attempts to revive the brilliance of colour found in Quattrocento art, Hunt and Millais developed a technique of painting in thin glazes of pigment over a wet white ground in the hope that the colours would retain jewel-like transparency and clarity. Their emphasis on brilliance of colour was a reaction to the excessive use of bitumen by earlier British artists, such as Reynolds, David Wilkie and Benjamin Robert Haydon . Bitumen produces unstable areas of muddy darkness, an effect the Pre-Raphaelites despised.
