The stories behind the great celebrity jewellery collections Featuring the jewels of Grace Kelly, Marlene Dietrich, Jackie Kennedy and many more Chapters on the great collectors of old, and the new celebrity collectors of today Throughout the 20th century, jewellery revealed the behind-the-scenes stories and the plot twists and turns in the real lives of celebrities that will always be larger than life. Some of the world's most fabulous jewels not only illustrated power and status in society but these magical gems held tremendous sentimental value as they were linked to the most significant moments and memories of Hollywood royalty, international aristocracy and international icons of style. If These Jewels Could Talk offers a glimpse into the jewellery boxes of these celebrities - the personal tastes, heartfelt anecdotes and the true tales of the women who wore and collected the pieces. During the early- to mid-20th century, a majority of screen actresses requested to wear their own favourite pieces in films. This offered a peek into some of the great jewellers of the time who were designing for women who could choose anything. Actresses such as Merle Oberon, Paulette Goddard, Joan Crawford, Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor as well as icons such as Jackie Kennedy and The Duchess of Windsor created signature styles for which they became known and which influenced generations of women, becoming part of our collective consciousness. The 20s through the 50s were a time when the renowned jewellery houses were also celebrities in their own right. They mixed with the socialites and royalty they bejewelled. In films, jewellery clearly developed and defined a character's personality - as it did in real life - whether it be a rags-to-riches story or those that figured into the plot: for example, a Cartier bracelet in Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat, or a Harry Winston necklace in Notorious. Whether on or off screen, worn by the famed and the legendary, and designed by the most revered houses of the day, all of these jewels take us on a narrative journey that provide fascinating insight into the intriguing worlds of early Hollywood and nobility from the 1920s through to today.

LIEFTE VERWINDT AL DINCK is de randtekst van een vijzeltje uit 1597. Dit fraaie vijzeltje komt uit de vijzelcollectie Salentijn die in dit boek aan de hand van tweehonderd kleurenfoto?s wordt getoond: vijzels die uitgebreid hun geschiedenis vertellen: waar, wanneer en door wie en voor wie ze zijn gemaakt; en andere exemplaren die bar weinig loslaten over hun afkomst. Prachtige detailfoto?s geven een beeld van het vakmanschap en de aandacht waarmee de vijzels zijn gemaakt. Dit boek is bestemd voor de antiekliefhebber in het algemeen en de vijzelverzamelaar in het bijzonder. Een kloek naslagwerk waarin elke vijzel wordt beschreven met interessante historische details. De vijzels zijn ingedeeld op land van herkomst: niet alleen Nederlandse en Belgische vijzels en die uit landen als Duitsland, Engeland en Frankrijk, ook exemplaren uit Zuid-Europa, Midden-Oosten en een enkele uit Afrika staan in dit boek. Elk land of regio wordt vakkundig ingeleid voor de liefhebber en de connaisseur. Het register en de Engelse vertaling van de bijschriften maken het stijlvolle boek toegankelijk voor elke lezer. ---------------- LIEFTE VERWINDT AL DINCK is the border text of a mortar from 1597. This beautiful mortar comes from the mortar collection Salentijn, which is shown in this book on the basis of two hundred color photos: mortars that extensively tell their history: where, when and by whom and who they are made for; and other copies that reveal very little about their origin. Beautiful detail photos give an idea of the craftsmanship and the attention with which the jacks are made. This book is intended for the antique enthusiast in general and the mortar collector in particular. A bold reference book in which each mortar is described with interesting historical details. The mortars are classified by country of origin: not only Dutch and Belgian mortars and those from countries such as Germany, England and France, but also specimens from Southern Europe, the Middle East and a few from Africa. Each country or region is expertly introduced for the enthusiast and the connoisseur. The index and the English translation of the captions make the stylish book accessible to every reader.
283 p. 8vo. 23 cm. Original blue cloth biding, lettered in gold, with a decorative Greek key border in black. Slightly worn at head and tail. The author was a newspaperman and the editor of the Salt L ake City Tribune. His style is a curious blend of the journalistic with the romantic. The scenes move easily between the Comstock Lode, England, and the mines of South Africa. The Comstock Lode was the group of celebrated silver and gold mines near Virginia City, Nevada. Between 1859-1870 it yielded well over 300 million tons of valuable ore. The profits made from the Lode accounted for much of the economic growth of the West in the late 19th century.

By means of technical examination of the gold objects now part of the renowned and outstanding Egyptian collection of the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden, this book gives a unique and innovatory insight in the work of the ancient Egyptian goldsmith. In 1922 the world came face to face with a young pharaoh: in that year the tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered and his breathtaking gold mask became known to everybody. Ancient Egyptian gold is known to all of us. But what was the significance of gold in Ancient Egyptian society? Where was it found and how was it won? And where did the Ancient Egyptian goldsmith work and what techniques did he master? The first part of this book answers the questions mentioned above. The second part is a catalogue of gold objects which are part of the renowned and outstanding collection of the Egyptian Department of the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden. By means of a technical examination of these objects, this book gives a unique and innovatory insight in the work of the ancient Egyptian goldsmith, who was able to accomplish true work of art though working in hot and basic circumstances. ? Marielle Bulsink (1968) studied archaeology and Egyptology at Leiden University. In 1992 she finished her studies, writing a thesis on the technical research of the gold objects in the collection of the Egyptian Department of the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden. In the following years this study was prepared for publishing. During this process she was guest researcher at the museum and took a course in metalworking under the guidance of a goldsmith to experience firsthand the ins and outs of the trade. Currently she is doing voluntary work at the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden.
