Jewellery Designers Make Amazing Items For The Silver Screen
Jewellery designers have been invited to send in pieces of costume jewellery they have already developed for the film industry. Spectacular necklaces, bracelets and tiaras that have had their own starring role and adorned well-known film stars are now being sought. Certainly the glittering assortment of glitter and bling for the films are paste rather than diamonds, but they produce a good show.
Pieces by jewellery designers for films are going to be exhibited at the Jewellery on Screen event at Somerset House on The Strand in London next June as part of London Jewellery Week. The show has got Orkney jewellery designers pondering how some of our long-established collections ranging from mens Celtic rings to contemporary style jewellery may very well be just appropriate for the film industry.
The Tudor range, for example, influenced by the gemstones and luxurious decoration of the period, is a traditional style for films about Elizabeth I starring Cate Blanchet or Helen Mirren. And our Louise ring could actually adorn the ring finger of her namesake in Thelma and Louise, played by Susan Sarandon.
Jewellery Designers in the Movies
One Orkney collection incorporates Birdland necklaces, earrings, brooches and charms depicting birds flying across a northern sky. Daphne du Maurier's novel, The Birds, however created a scarier view of these creatures - not improved by a Hitchcock horror film featuring Tippi Hedren and Rod Taylor! The Heart collection links with plenty of famous films such as the newly released Crazy Heart with Jeff Bridges. But independent of the romantic Heart there's also Braveheart, who could gladly wear many of the mens Celtic rings or our Sword kiltpin style and design.
Sword, of course was a important element in a lot of pictures about Arthur, Camelot and Merlin. The well-known Willow design has got the same name as the quest film starring Val Kilmer and Joanne Walley and no one knows what Toad and his pals would make of it in Wind in the Willows.
The modern-day piece True relates to many films for example the kooky True Romance starring Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette or True Grit, the John Wayne or Jeff Bridges variation. And Chanticleer, based on the saga of a rooster and a fox, might well be a nice pattern for the Fantastic Mr Fox.
There are lots of more blockbusters out there that we could provide models to suit. Orkney probably won't yet be one of the centers for jewellery designers who provide pieces for Hollywood, but a lot of our choices are displayed by stars who love our style.
