Blue Magpie Brooch
Anna Hu was the first contemporary Asian jewellery artist to have a signature piece—the China Red Magpie Brooch—on permanent exhibition at The State Historical Museum of Russia. Lot 1709 is a rendition paying tribute to the Blue-and-White Flower-Bird-Motif Circle-Squared Plate from the National Museum of History, extracting the essence of Eastern arts, applied to the Blue Magpie Brooch. Blue-and-white porcelain, a classical Chinese motif combined with Western colour palettes interpreting the idyllic scene from poems, composed of the delicate decorations and exquisite branches from nature inspired by the Jesuit missionary and painter at the imperial court of China, Giuseppe Castiglione, showcases the beauty of China in a western perspective, which is also captured by Anna Hu's idyllic creation.

👑 Day Three: Favorite Norwegian Tiara
Norwegian Amethyst Tiara
Details from The Court Jeweler:
The amethyst and diamond parure consists of several pieces: a convertible necklace/tiara, a pair of earrings with removable drops, a ring, two bracelets that can be combined and worn together as a second necklace, and a brooch that can also be attached as a part of the bracelet-necklace. The provenance of the set has never been shared by the Norwegian royal family. While some have speculated that it may have been was a gift to Queen Sonja from her husband, King Harald V of Norway, others disagree. The jewelry historian Trond Noren Isaksen posits in his book, Ingrid Alexandras Arv, that the amethyst set was acquired from Garrard in the 1990s as a replacement for another jewel, a pink tourmaline tiara that had been purchased from the descendants of Countess Estelle Bernadotte. Isaksen writes that the tourmaline tiara, like Queen Maud’s Pearl Tiara, was stolen in the raid on Garrard’s London headquarters in February 1995.

UK/South Africa State Banquet Tiara Predictions
I want to preface this by saying that I think it's very likely we won't get any major jewelry upgrades tomorrow. This is the first state banquet of the new reign and I assume they are going to want to show that it's just business as usual and any big jewelry surprises would get unwelcome coverage. But that also makes me feel like I'm raining on everyone's parade so I'm going to make two predictions for each person with pessimist Tiara Mania on the left and optimist Tiara Mania on the right.
Tumblr media
Queen Camilla - Greville Honeycomb Tiara & Queen Alexandra's Kokoshnik Tiara - Queen Camilla is the most likely person on the list to show up in a new tiara and I've long wanted her to wear the Kokoshnik. It was worn by QEII during the last state visit from South Africa in 2010 and the Honeycomb was worn by the Queen Mother for the first time during a state visit to South Africa in 1947 so really there’s a connection with both tiaras. I'm also hoping she wears anything other than one of her pearl choker necklaces because I want to see something different.
Tumblr media
Princess of Wales - Queen Mary's Lovers Knot Tiara & Queen Mary's Sapphire Bandeau Tiara - The Lotus Flower Tiara would be a great choice too but really I just want her to wear anything other than the Lovers Knot. I'm choosing the Sapphire Bandeau because it hasn't been seen in forever and I’m in the mood for something colorful.
Tumblr media
Princess Anne - Festoon Tiara & the Queen Mother's Double Meander Tiara - She's already worn the Double Meander once but I really want to see it again and hopefully get better pictures this time.
Tumblr media
Countess of Wessex - Aquamarine Necklace Tiara & Anthemion Tiara - I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually want Sophie to wear the Anthemion Tiara because I want a better picture of the new configuration.
Tumblr media
Duchess of Gloucester - Queen Mary's Honeysuckle Tiara with the emerald center & the Teck Turquoise Tiara - Birgitte is the only person who will wear two tiaras since she will also be attending the Guildhall Banquet on Wednesday so these choices are for the two different events instead of my expectation vs. wish. I want the Teck Turquoise to be second because we usually get better pictures from the Guildhall Banquet and it's been awhile since we've gotten decent ones of this tiara.
Princess Alexandra and Princess Michael of Kent may also attend but it's not a guarantee. Mostly I just want King Charles to change the position of the photographers and/or allow more of them because I'm tired of the grainy shots from a mile away.
Then there's some other jewelry related to South Africa that I'd like to see worn during the state visit.
Tumblr media
First the Mandela Peacock Sunrise Brooch, which was a gift from Nelson Mandela on behalf of the South African people in 1995. It was made by Johan Louw of Uwe Koetter Jewellers and features diamonds, onyx, and tourmalines set in white and yellow gold. QEII only wore the brooch twice that I can find, during state visits from South Africa in 2001 and 2010. This would be a good choice for Queen Camilla to wear during the daytime events tomorrow which include a visit to the Mandela Memorial Stone at Westminster Abbey.
Tumblr media
The South African Diamond Necklace & Bracelet or as Queen Elizabeth II supposedly called them her “best diamonds” are some of my favorite of her jewels. They were a gift from the South African government for her 21st birthday in 1947 while she was there with her parents. She later added an extra diamond that was a gift from De Beers and had the necklace shortened to create a bracelet. I'm thinking Catherine instead of Camilla for these just because I like Camilla in bigger necklaces for formal events but really I'd be happy with it on anybody.
What are your tiara predictions?

Trond Norén Isaksen: As usual, Crown Princess Mette-Marit wears the Edwardian diamond bandeau that she received as a wedding present from the King and Queen at Prince Christian’s 18th birthday banquet in Copenhagen today. In addition she wears a large acquamarine brooch that has belonged to Queen Maud and a bracelet containing the badge of the Victoria and Albert Order, which the future Queen Maud was given by her grandmother, Queen Victoria of Britain. The bracelet is actually a loan from Princess Ingrid Alexandra, who received it as a confirmation gift from Princess Astrid in 2019.
While the titular Crown Princess of Greece wore the largest tiara at tonight’s state banquet for Prince Christian of Denmark, the actual Crown Princess of Norway wore the smallest. The diamond tiara she received as a wedding present from her parents-in-law dates from around 1910 and is typical of the lighter bandeaux that became fashionable towards the end of the Edwardian era, replacing the large tiaras of the late Victorian and early Edwardian eras.
22 years after her wedding, Crown Princess Mette-Marit still obviously prefers this light and rather girlish tiara to the others available to her. She has worn it more than twice as often as the amethyst tiara that replaced Queen Sophie’s and Estelle Bernadotte’s tourmaline tiara, which was stolen in 1995, while she has worn the fan tiara that was a wedding present to Queen Maud from three members of the Rothschild family only once as a tiara and twice as a necklace. On one occasion, she has also borrowed the small version of the replica of Queen Maud’s pearl and diamond tiara from her mother-in-law the Queen.

dragontaur noblewoman opens her toothy maw and lets out a massive yawn and rises from her bed of jeweled cushions and blankets. she grasps the rope by her bed and gives it a little ring. her claws clack pleasantly against the gorgeous granite flooring as she walks around her large bedroom in her scant nightclothes, heading closer to the door. two sets of footsteps rushing down the hall, then, knock on her door. “Come in” she beckons.  Two of her maids enter. “Good morning mistress!” ”Good morning mistress!” they beam, and do a bowing curtsey. “It is 7:12 am on the 21st.” her tall catgirl maid says, holding a pocketwatch. “So you have been asleep for three days and seven hours.” her plump catgirl maid completes. the dragontaur noblewoman yawns again. her maids open the door to her huge closet and the three head inside. incredible amounts of fine clothes and jewelry line the walls and shelves inside. her maids bring out the stools to both sides and begin to undress their dragontaur noblewoman. their paws both linger loving on the bare scales of her bare flanks for a moment as she decides what she is going to wear.  the maid’s arms wrap around their mistress as they wrap her in fine silk cloaks, making many complicated folds to fit her majestic body. they fasten them into her shape with brooches of agate and mother of pearl and diamond. they button her shirts and folds with buttons of jade. they bedeck her tail with chains of gold and rubies. they bedeck her claws and legs and horns with jeweled bands. they bedeck her in many more jeweleries besides, of garnet and amethyst and tourmaline and heliodor. They crown her in a diadem of emeralds.  “Majestic and Elegant as always!” her tall catgirl maid prides, a sparkle in her eye as she stands on her stool and leans in to kiss her mistress on the cheek. “Resplendent and Glorious as always!” her plump catgirl maid prides, a twinkle in her eye as she stands on her stool and leans in to kiss her mistress on the other cheek.
(I thought about a HUGE breakfast here but decided against it sorry...)

I think Jewelpet Tinkle was the best seasons of the franchise. I want to talk about another series inspired by it and to probably put a darker twist on it.
The protagonist lives in a historical region that will be European inspired. She is a noble who fell into a lake. This ruins her social life for a long time and has made her a hermit.
Many people are speculating she tried to kill herself since she has been having a hard time finding a marriage partner, but the protagonist knows the truth.
There is someone out there wanting to kill her for the family's mining caves. It has been in her family for generations and they are tight lip about what lies in there. In the past, her family has found precious jewels like rubies, sapphires, and diamonds. Recently, there are rumors that there is nothing in there anymore and it is all dried up.
Her parents are distraught at their lively, smiley daughter so down and isolated. In hopes of making her feel better, they shower her with gifts and jewelry.
A particular jewel has caught the protagonist's eyes. A brooch made of Tourmaline. This is the gem of her family since it was a present by a close family. In turn, the protagonist's family gifts rubies to them and it is their family gem.
The families never wear tourmaline unless it is a special occasion and they are seeing the other family. The protagonist wears mostly pearls and amethyst.
She cries on the tourmaline, wishing her life was different. She's too scared to leave her room and lost everything that meant something to her. The protagonist thinks there is nothing in the world for her anymore. She is lost and does not want to keep living.
The tourmaline responds to her and promises her a life of adventure and lifelong friendship. Out comes a cat named Tour. His heart reaches out towards her and wants her to enjoy life again. He wants to be her friend and give her what she deserves.
The protagonist hugs the cat, happy to have a real friend in her darkest hour.

Modern Jewelry's Classical Sentiment
Continuous Exploration of New Materials, Coupled with the Minimalist Qualities Inherent in Contemporary Art, Infuses Modern Jewelry with Novel Materials and Structures. However, the Classical Sentiment in Jewelry Always Lingers in the Creations of Major High-end Jewelry Brands. People Constantly Look Back, Hoping for those Classic Eras, Picking Up Fragments from the Corners and Cracks of Time. They reinterpret them from a modern craft and aesthetic perspective, reminding us of elegance, narrating the traditional splendor, and immersing us once again in the extremely intricate brilliance. In doing so, they create a profound jewelry art experience for the wearer. This is a dialogue with time, a delicate interweaving of classical and modern, tradition and innovation, propelling jewelry into a more exquisite and enchanting realm.

Dior Launched a High Jewelry Collection Inspired by the Palace of Versailles.
In 2016, Dior drew inspiration from the Palace of Versailles to launch its high jewelry collection. In fact, Versailles has always been a wellspring of inspiration for designers, especially for Mr. Christian Dior himself. Within the palace's architecture, gilded interiors, expansive gardens, and rich history, endless inspiration is found. Designer Victoire de Castellane also shares a similar interest and, inspired by the 'hidden passages' within Versailles—such as the secret corridor between the king's bedroom and the mistress's bedroom, as well as concealed drawers filled with precious items and letters—created a series of high jewelry pieces. These jewels can be opened or twisted, revealing behind the 'doors' either a dazzling gem or a skull, evoking the luxurious ambiance of Versailles, stories of passionate love, fleeting life, and eternal gemstones. The patterns chosen for decoration feature Baroque and Rococo-style scrolls, reminiscent of the intricate relief decorations on the eaves of Versailles. Romantic and exquisite, the collection captures the essence of Versailles' opulence and the intertwining themes of eternal gems with brief yet intense moments in life.

ChuCui Palace  Crane Dancing in Clouds Brooch
If Western classical sentiment is a reinterpretation of Baroque and Rococo styles, the exclusive essence of Chinese classical sentiment is concealed within traditional Chinese paintings. ChuCui Palace, a jewelry brand with roots in an Italian jewelry lineage, has engraved the romance unique to Chinese landscapes and flora onto high-end jewelry. Their piece 'Crane Dancing in Clouds' draws inspiration from traditional Chinese elements, Chinese meticulous brushwork, and freehand painting. The Chinese-style clouds, originating from abstract freehand patterns, along with elegantly scattered stars, form an asymmetric composition, seeking a subtle visual balance and presenting an effect of ethereal grandeur. A gold crane, finely detailed in feather portrayal reminiscent of meticulous brushwork, flies in from one side. The entire piece exhibits a complex order of dots, lines, and surfaces, with interwoven stars, swirling tuan clouds, and elongated gold cranes. The result is both unique and rhythmic, varying in size and arranged in an artful disarray. The color palette is limited to gold and white diamonds, reminiscent of the black and white in traditional ink paintings. The gemstones vividly portray the divine elegance of the crane, creating an ethereal charm.
Tumblr media
Lady Arabesque Necklace from Bvlgari's Barocko Collection
In 2020, Bvlgari launched the 'Barocko' high jewelry collection, drawing inspiration from the Baroque art movement that emerged in 17th-century Rome. Astonishing golden Arabesque patterns flow between gemstones, preserving the symmetry characteristic of the Baroque style. The collection emphasizes the 'sense of movement and opulence' inherent in Baroque style, cleverly offsetting any severity with natural pink sapphires and Paraiba tourmalines. This dual approach imbues the collection with a highly mature, decorative, and visually feminine effect.
Tumblr media
David Webb's Open Scroll Cuff with Stones
In addition to the Baroque style, there is also David Webb, a jewelry brand that creates a more playful and contemporary aesthetic. Drawing inspiration from almost every ancient culture around the world, including Africa, Asia, and the Americas, the art of these regions is reimagined into modern jewelry by David Webb. The piece 'Open Scroll Cuff with Stones' exemplifies the brand's cultural diversity. It features themes of Chinese abstract patterns, executed with an Art Deco flair reminiscent of the 1920s. The geometric lines of Art Deco seamlessly blend with Chinese patterns, presenting a visually striking effect that combines elements of vintage, opulence, exoticism, and boldness.
In the creation of modern jewelry, the sentiment of classicism is like a gentle breeze of time, traversing the river of history, skillfully intertwining tradition with innovation, and classical with contemporary. This dialogue is not only a tribute to the brilliance of the past but also an inheritance of human civilization and artistic wisdom. The exploration in materials, structures, and designs not only bestows jewelry with a new appearance but also leads people into a profound journey of artistic experience.
From Dior's inspiration from the Palace of Versailles to ChuCui Palace's Chinese landscape and flora motifs, and further to Bvlgari's Barocko collection and David Webb's cross-cultural fusion, each piece of jewelry is like a story-rich poem, blending the emotions of history with the exquisite craftsmanship of the modern era. It is a journey through time and space, transporting people into dreamlike realms where ancient emotions bloom in contemporary settings. These pieces are not just splendid accessories but also carriers of culture, allowing individuals to feel the depth of history and the charm of art in the moments of wearing. In this eternal rhythm, classical sentiment continues to present the brilliance and allure of jewelry art in a profound and unique manner.
