YOUR WISH has been granted…1928 Jewelry is excited to introduce to you the Downton Abbey Jewellery Collection! Working closely with the show’s costume design team, we created an officially licensed line of contemporary jewelry that captures the essence of the early English 20th century. The jewelry comes in a whimsically-designed card or box that makes you feel giddy inside—kind of like the feeling Harry Potter fans get when trying butter beer from for the first time, but in a Downton Abbey type of way (if you know what I mean). Check out the razzle dazzle below that is very appropriate for a stylish aristocratic look but also jibes well for the 2013-14 fashion season! Be expected to see motifs from the late Victorian and early Edwardian eras.

Gilded Age - A Look of Golden Extravagance
The combination of gold and crystal makes everything more elegant and all the pieces from the Gilded Age exude just that. If you’re detail-oriented, you might remember Lady Edith wearing a gold scalloped necklace early in Season 1, or the Countess of Grantham wearing delicate gold and diamond jewelry throughout the series!
If you’re a lover of color, you’ll definitely love this set that is reminiscent of the high style jewelry of the Edwardian Era. This collection was inspired by French designers like Cartier, Bucheron and Van Cleef who used large high-quality faceted colored gemstones as focal points with diamond accents. Season 3 is more ubiquitous with colored jewelry as we see fresh characters like Isadore Levinson flaunting her large suite of emerald bling.
This deep charcoal metal tone gives off an edgy, romantic look, which was popular in the late Victorian Era. And you can’t forget Isobel Crawley sporting her jet earrings and brooches day and night.
Inspired by the Edwardian Era that is known to be strikingly feminine with combinations of platinum and diamond, this set features motifs of bows, ribbons, stars, crescents and garlands. Reminiscent of Lady Mary & Lady Edith’s jeweled accents.
*The carded collection launched today (Sep 16), but the boxed set collection will launch on Oct 16—just in time for the holidays!
