THE GOLDEN AGE OF GLAMOUR be easy to forget just how important and influential movie and television
stars were when entertainment choices for most of the country were

fame that is rare today, due in large part to the booming popularity of TV
and the momentary escape it provided.
Their jewelry is at the same time beautiful and extremely personal –
an expression of both individual style and a celebration of life milestones,
rather than a constructed public image. It was an age before celebrity
style became heavily mediated by stylists, fashion and jewelry houses
looking to place their creations on the red carpet. These jewels reflect the
unique tastes of their owners and allow us to feel a personal connection
with artists who left an enduring mark on history and on our lives.
