We are continuing the conversation about jewelry forgeries by taking a look at some fake historical pieces, embarassing discoveries of forgeries in museum collections, and an ongoing drama involving Fabergé eggs!
This week on Drinks and a Movie, we're diving into the 13th entry in the James Bond franchise — Octopussy (1983)! Roger Moore is back as 007, and this time he's going full circus mode. Killer clowns, Fabergé eggs, Cold War chaos, and an island run by an all-female cult led by the mysterious Octopussy — what more could you ask for?We break down the highs, the lows, and the wonderfully bizarre tone of this fan-dividing Bond film. Is Octopussy campy fun or a franchise misfire? Let's get into it.And to pair with all that wild energy? We're sipping on Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey — a bold 110-proof Kentucky rye that's spicy, complex, and perfect for a spirited Bond adventure.Find out if it's a sipper worth stocking or if it's better left behind like a rogue Soviet general.Pour yourself a dram and join the conversation as we talk Bond, bourbon (well, rye), and cinematic spectacle.
Κανείς δεν είχε καταφέρει να ανακαλύψει την ταυτότητα δύο γυναικών που απεικονίζονταν σε ένα ζευγάρι φωτογραφικών κορνίζων Fabergé στο Μουσείο του Μπράιτον. Ωστόσο, το μυστήριο λύθηκε χάρη στην ερασιτεχνική έρευνα μιας επισκέπτριας του μουσείου και συγκεκριμένα μιας Ελληνίδας με ΔΕΠΥ, της ηθοποιούς και σεναριογράφου Ανδριανής Ρέλλου. Πως είναι για ένα νευροδιαφορετικό παιδί η εμπειρία του σχολείου; Ποιες οι προκλήσεις που αντιμετωπίζει ένα άτομο με ΔΕΠΥ στην προσωπική και επαγγελματική του ζωή; Πως βοηθούν τα social media την ορατότητα της νευροδιαφορετικότητας; Η ηθοποιός και σεναριογράφος Ανδριανή Ρέλλου εξηγεί πώς εκτός από ηθοποιός και σεναριογράφος έγινε και «ιστορική detective».
A 69. adás vendége Tamás Lóránt aranyműves mester. .Lóránt egy családi vállalkozáson keresztül, kemény munkával és alázattal alapozta meg hírnevét a szakmában, az igazi fordulópont azonban akkor következett el az életében, amikor úgy döntött, új életet lehel a családban több generáció óta öröklődő zsebórába. Az eredmény nagy hatást váltott ki környezetében, és hamarosan szélesebb körben ismertté tette. A hónapokon át nagy műgonddal készülő, egyedi kialakítású óráira ma már szerte a világból érkeznek megrendelések.

Igazi sikertörténet ez tehát, melynek hátterében számtalan tanulság és hasznos útravaló rejtőzik..A műsorban beszélgetünk Lóránt családjának történetéről, a hagyományok fontosságáról és megismerjük azokat az alapélményeket, amelyek életét formálták. Részletesen kérdezem karrierútjáról és a sikeréhez, elismertségéhez hozzájáruló összetevőkről. Elmélyülünk az aranyművesség, az órákhoz kapcsolódó lélekmentés és a Fabergé patinás világában is, szokás szerint megannyi személyes történettel fűszerezve..Jó szórakozást kívánok hozzá!--------FONTOS:A wopcast-et támogathatod Patreon-on és egyszerű utalással is..Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/wopcast.Az utalás ide érkezhet:Kocsány Kornél - CIB Bank10700495-62634067-51100005--------Tamás Lóránt:https://www.tamaslorant.com/https://www.instagram.com/tamas_lorant_jeweler/--------A Fabergé márkáról bővebben:https://www.tamaslorant.com/fabergehttps://www.faberge.com/https://www.instagram.com/officialfaberge/https://www.instagram.com/fabergehungary/--------A Lóránt által említett ajánlók:.Benvenuto Cellini élete https://www.libri.hu/konyv/benvenuto_cellini.benvenuto-cellini-elete.html.A Romanovok utolsó napjaihttps://moly.hu/konyvek/helen-rappaport-a-romanovok-utolso-napjai.Órás szakmai ismeretek:https://digitalia.lib.pte.hu/hu/pub/valyi-oras-szakmai-ismeretek-muszaki-kvk-bp-1967-717--------A wopcast, a wonderzofphotography és a wonderzofpainting:https://www.facebook.com/wopcastforlifehttps://www.facebook.com/wonderzofphotographyhttps://www.instagram.com/wopcast_hunhttps://www.instagram.com/wonderzofphotographyhttps://www.facebook.com/wonderzofpaintinghttps://www.instagram.com/wonderzofpaintingwww.youtube.com/@wopcast--------Ha bármi kérdésetek, kérésetek lenne, keressetek bátran a wonderzofphotography@gmail.com emailcímen vagy közvetlenül bármelyik közösségi médiás felületen.--------Műsorvezető: © Kocsány Kornélhttps://linktr.ee/kornelkocsanyArculatfelelős: © Kocsány Ákoshttps://linktr.ee/wyldebeest

Fardad Khayami is a rare gem on the Los Angeles dining scene as a hospitality jack of all restaurant trades inside Muse, his French ode to growing up a European inspired gourmand.

But first, Jordan and Max review a recent meal at Dan Tana's with Neal Moritz and Uncle Pints, where it was all Hollywood, buttered bread bolognese dips, committing to the chip, naughty notes for the best dish of the night, Jordan's steak etiquette, a Tana's salad ranking, and Max's alleged quote reviewing the meal.

We pick up the History of the famed House of Fabergé where we left off, with an ancient Scythian bracelet and a very impressed Emperor Alexander III. The history continues with the story of the Imperial Easter Eggs, where they ended up, and just what happened to the illustrious firm.
A consolidação de Beatriz Haddad Maia no top 20 do ranking, a presença de Thiago Wild nos principais torneios e agora a expectativa de termos o garoto João Fonseca como grande sensação do circuito internacional certamente despertam o eterno desejo do torcedor brasileiro: viajar e assistir in loco aos grandes campeonatos do tênis. Por isso, o Podcast TenisBrasil desta semana conversa com Fábio Silberberg, que há 20 anos organiza excursões pelo mundo afora. Ele conta como reagiu o mercado pós-pandemia, fala do crescimento mundial e revela os destinos prediletos dos brasileiros. Neste 2025, a FABERG também sinaliza para muitas novidades, entre parceiros estratégicos e projetos.
The illustrious House of Fabergé, best known for its whimsical, jewel-encrusted Easter Eggs, has a surprising connection to ancient jewelry. From its founding in 1842 until the fated meeting between Peter Carl Fabergé and Emperor Alexander III, this episode is a journey through the early History of the famed jewelry house, and just what led to the infamous eggs.
For tonight, I tell you the stories of different "lost treasures" and other legends attached to:1- The Knights Templar, a religious military order that emerged during the Crusades but became so wealthy and influential that it made powerful enemies;2- The Cathars, a Christian sect from the 12th to 14th Centuries in Southern France and Northern Italy, which was persecuted until it disappeared;3- The Fabergé Eggs, exquisite pieces of jewelry that were made for the Romanovs in Saint Petersburg in the decades before the Russian Revolution. Out of more than fifty, six eggs are now missing, but as the story of the "Third Imperial" egg indicates, they could maybe reappear one day.

Gus Clemens on Wine explores and explains the world of wine in simple, humorous, fun posts
This is the weekly columnOctober begins the 17th year of this wine column. Reflections.• Quality wine is made by grape farmers in a vineyard, not by lab coats in a winery. When this column started, I could enjoy mass production wines manipulated by oak and tartaric acid and Mega Red. As years and tasting passed, my palate grew to more appreciate wines truer to place and variety. Supermarket mass production wines have their place, but as your wine odyssey unfolds their role diminishes.• Wine is more complex and interesting than you can grasp in a lifetime. Anyone who claims to know everything—or almost everything—about wine just proved they do not. Wine is an infinite Fabergé egg. Opening each shell presents you with a more beautiful and fascinating layer.• Texas wines would get there. My first publisher—of a Texas newspaper—specifically told me to avoid writing about Texas wines. They were hard for readers to buy. Winemakers struggled to find grapes and cellar practices that worked in Texas. No more. Texas wines have made enormous strides. They compete on quality and are beginning to compete on distribution. They tend to be somewhat overpriced, but sell out because of the proud loyalty of Texans. If Texans will buy $18 wine for $25 dollars, Texans will sell it to them. Then use profits to elevate their wine to be worth $25.• If you enjoy a wine, it is good wine for you. Ignore my and others opinion of it. I stated that in the first column. I believe it more today.• You never run out of things to write about. Early on, people worried I would exhaust my subject. Not close to the truth. I have written more than 800 columns, all posted on my website. Not a single repeat. No expectation whatsoever I will run out of material.• Supercilious tasting notes and wine scores are ridiculous. Sixteen years ago, I bet people wanted to know about wine. How it is made. The people who make it. The places it is made. What the jargon meant. With tens of thousands of readers around the world, I remain all-in on that bet. If you come to me for a pithy sentence and some score on a 100-point scale, you came to the wrong place.My writing career has taken me many places. Sports editor of a major newspaper. Author or participant in some 20 books. A successful advertising agency owner. This column remains a beloved highlight in that career, and I deeply appreciate your being part the journey.Last roundWhat washes up on tiny beaches? Microwaves.

This week on the show we take a look at the latest Premium Live Event from WWE, The Royal Rumble! It was a fun show with some great moments. We also looked back at a monumental Raw in the "Retro Review" where we saw The Radicalz make the jump to the WWF as well as the beginning of the Acolyte Protection Agency. We also took a look at all of the AEW offerings including a great episode of Collision, NXT, Raw after Rumble and so much more!!!
Epigrams, jokes, highly-polished poems in praise of the Emperor. Oh, and absolute filth. These are what made the name of the first-century Roman poet Martial. It has taken nearly two thousand years for Martial's work to be considered a fit subject for study by classicists. His poems to the Emperor may have been as highly crafted as a Fabergé egg, but nestled beside these jewels, in the same volume, were works of 'incomprehensible obscenity'. The Romans loved both, apparently. His work is still funny, and still shocking. Natalie is joined by Professor Llewelyn Morgan and comedian Robin Ince to discover what we can learn about the poet and his readers from his work, and if he can still make us laugh. Spoiler: he can.‘Rock star mythologist' and reformed stand-up Natalie Haynes is obsessed with the ancient world. She explores key stories from ancient Rome and Greece that still have resonance today. They might be biographical, topographical, mythological or epic, but they are always hilarious, magical and tragic, mystifying and revelatory. And they tell us more about ourselves now than seems possible of stories from a couple of thousand years ago.Producer...Mary Ward-Lowery
What you'll learn in this episode: Which essential jewelry books you should have in your library Why books are so much more reliable than internet research when it comes to gemstones and jewelry Why the Renaissance opened up a new world of adornment An overview of the periods of jewelry and how they overlapped and influenced one another How cultural turning points, like World War II and the South African diamond rush, influenced what materials were used during different time periods About Jo Ellen Cole Jo Ellen Cole is the owner of Cole Appraisal Services and the director of fine jewelry at Abell Auctions. She earned her Graduate Gemologist Diploma at the Gemological Institute of America in Santa Monica and successfully passed the prestigious Gemological Association of Great Britain's FGA examinations.

Information on gems and jewelry abounds online today, but much of that information is incorrect. For that reason, Jo Ellen—a Graduate Gemologist who also passed Gem-A's FGA examination—turns to books when she has a question about a specific piece, hallmark or stone. She joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to share which books she recommends for every jewelry interest; how jewelry trends shifted over the years due to cultural forces; and how to quickly identify the characteristics of different jewelry periods. Read the episode transcript here. Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the first part of a two-part episode. Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it's released later this week. I met Jo Ellen about six or seven years ago when I was studying for the GG, or the Graduate Gemology degree. In order to pass it, I needed to identify about 18 stones and get them all right, and I only had three chances to do that. This was daunting to me because I'm not a science person; I'm not a math person or anything. I wasn't working with the stones. I wasn't working in a jewelry store, so I really didn't have the opportunity to handle the stones. I called another appraiser, Charlie Carmona, whom we've had on this podcast, and asked him for a recommendation for a tutor. I thought it was a pretty weird recommendation that I was asking for, but he immediately recommended Jo Ellen, and I never looked back. She's been a great tutor. It was a few years ago, but she helped me a lot. She knows a lot about jewelry, and not just jewelry, but I find her extremely knowledgeable about vintage and antique pieces. I have talked to and been to enough appraisers to know that this is its own specialty. She's also been helpful when it comes to directing me to researchers for whatever I need. She pointed me in the right direction. Today, she's going to share with us the books that she thinks will help us with our jewelry journey. Jo Ellen, welcome to the program. Jo Ellen: Thank you so much for having me. I'm happy to be here. Sharon: I'm so glad that you deigned to be on. Now, tell us, with a GG, which is part of the GIA, you can do a lot of things. So, why did you go into appraisal as opposed to other things? Jo Ellen: Well, I found that I was lacking in salesmanship abilities, to say the least. I'm just not a salesperson, but I love to categorize; I love to research. Appraising seemed to fit that bill very well. Plus, when I realized that I was not good at sales, I met Charles Carmona, whom you mentioned before, at American Society of Appraisers—no, it was the AGA. I can't remember what that stands for, but it was a meeting. I met him, and a couple of years later, he asked me to work with him and I jumped on it. It was a wonderful experience. He's still my mentor. He's so knowledgeable and knows so much about appraising. I always feel comfortable talking to him about any problem I might encounter. He's been very instrumental. Sharon: And a big name in the L.A. market, I would say. Jo Ellen: He's really gone worldwide. He has three laboratories in China and Thailand as well. Sharon: I didn't realize that. Jo Ellen: Yeah, he's really opened up his market. He also leads a lot of traveling groups and things. He's very well-known. Sharon: I knew he was well-known in Los Angeles, but I didn't know he was that well-known around the world. Jo Ellen: Having factories in Africa, he's been around doing a lot of different things. Sharon: I've stopped purchasing books when it comes to novels or something like that. I just listen to them. Why should I purchase a book as opposed to listening online when it comes to jewelry? Why should I purchase a jewelry book? Jo Ellen: What I've noticed is that when I go online to research prices of jewelry, which I do often, I find that a lot of the information I find is not correct. I think part of the reason for that is because it's so easy to list something online. It gets your name out there, so people do that. However, they don't always double check their information. There's a lot of misinformation out there. Whereas in a book, it takes a lot longer to set it up, edit it, make sure everything's proper. I've been able to count on the information coming from books a lot better than I have been from online sources. However, I must say there is certainly a good reason to look online as well. Some of the information is very good. It's just that, personally, I feel more comfortable with a book form. Then, you can revisit that if you need to. It's easier to find. Sharon: Do you have to know if it's right or wrong before you look at a book? Jo Ellen: You have to figure that out on your own. But generally, if you have a good background in terms of knowledge of gems and gemology and antique jewelry from reading through books, a lot of times, you'll find that information is incorrect when you go online. Sharon: I know instances where I've found incorrect information about pearls or something like that. I wouldn't say I'm any kind of expert, but I know it's incorrect. Jo Ellen: Yeah. Sharon: Can you tell us quickly what you do every day? What does an appraiser do every day? Jo Ellen: If I'm not reviewing a book for a gemological publication like The Gemologist or Gems & Gemology, which doesn't do book reviews anymore—but a lot of times, I'm asked by people in the industry to review new books. So, I do that a lot, which involves going over the book line by line and figuring out what I think is proper and what isn't, or what is clear and what is not. I do that a lot. I also work at a local auctioneer two days a week, at Abell Auctions, as their fine jewelry director. I'm constantly cataloguing things and looking for prices on things, always encountering something unusual there. You get things from all over the world, and people like to use that venue as a way to sell their items. If I'm not doing that, I'm actually going to people's localities to appraise their jewelry for them, either for insurance purposes or for estate purposes if somebody has passed or wants to set up a trust. I do that a lot, but a lot of my days are spent doing what I love, which is reading. Sharon: You sound pretty conscientious to look at a book that closely when you're writing a book review. Jo Ellen: For me, it's really important to get it right. Generally, most books, even if I don't particularly like them, I can at least validate that their information is correct. I did have one book about a year-and-a-half ago that was just so egregious in its information I had to give it a bad review, which I've never done before. I called up the editor the week before it was due and said, “Why are you even covering this book? It's so awful.” He asked why, and I started pointing out little things. He was like, “Oh,” but he published the review anyhow. I didn't feel great about it because I don't like to slam people for things, but it was just so awful I had to point it out. Sharon: So, we should do our own reading, both online and with books. Jo Ellen: Absolutely. Sharon: Let's talk about a book or books and talk about the history. If you want to learn about the history of jewelry through the ages, what would you look at? Jo Ellen: There are a couple of really good books. When you write a book, it seems like the best formula is always to start at the beginning and take them through the ages. That's what they do with jewelry history. Usually, they'll start with prehistoric jewelry and how jewelry first came to be—it's one of the oldest things that humans have done that marks them as humans—and then it goes through medieval times and Renaissance, and then to Georgian and Victorian and Arts and Crafts or the Aesthetic Period, and then through Art Nouveau and Art Deco and Retro and on up to modern jewelry for today. That's usually how a book on jewelry history is set up. There are couple of really good ones out there that encapsulate what you need to know in terms of jewelry history. Sharon: Before you tell us that, I wanted to tell our listeners that we will have all this information on the website. Yes, take notes, but you don't have to write everything down; it'll be on our website. Jo Ellen: Yeah, I created a list of things that you can look for. One of the main books I recommend for overall jewelry history is a book called “Understanding Jewelry.” It's by David Bennett and Daniela Mascetti, who were both cataloguers at Sotheby's for many years and very knowledgeable in their field. It really helps to set up all those different ages of jewelry and gives wonderful examples and photographs. It's a picture book as well as an informative book, but all the information they offer has always been spot-on. I've learned so much from that book. It's one that I would definitely recommend. Sharon: I've probably seen it in every jewelry office that has books. I see that book. Jo Ellen: It's a great book. It really is. Another good one that's much simpler and has more pictures is a book called “Warman's Jewelry.” Sharon: Warman's? Jo Ellen: Yeah, W-A-R-M-A-N. The second edition was actually written by a good friend of mine, Christie Romero, who has since passed on. She used to be on the Antiques Roadshow. You'd see her on Antiques Roadshow a lot, a very knowledgeable woman. She had started her journey by traveling down to Mexico and learning all about Mexican silver and then just expanded from there. She used to give classes on jewelry at Valley College in Los Angeles. She just knew how to present things in such a way that it was very easy to assimilate that information. It has tons and tons of pictures. It also has a jewelry timeline. It's very thorough for being such an easily read book. There are even some prices in there, I think. It's now an older book, and I think there have been other editions that have been written since hers, but I always liked hers because I'm familiar with it. So, that's another good one that I would offer. Sharon: What about a book if we want to be more specific, like Georgian or Victorian jewelry? It's funny that when you say prehistoric, you could take many of the prehistoric pieces and wear them today and nobody would know the difference. But it seems to jump then to Renaissance. Jo Ellen: Because it has to do with the Dark Ages. A lot of it is about human history and civilization. During the Dark Ages, people were in such terrible shape as a civilization, they didn't have time to decorate themselves, so they usually used items from the past. There wasn't a lot of information coming out between, let's say, the 5th and 13th centuries. Then things started rolling again once society got more stabilized. Sharon: Is there a particular book we should look at if we want to pick up where society picked up? Let's say Georgian. Jo Ellen: There's a really good book on jewels of the Renaissance by Yvonne Hackenbroch. It's quite a tome. It's big, and it goes through the history of civilization as well as jewelry. It talks about the light occurring in the beginning of the Renaissance, when people started realizing there's more to life than just eating and sleeping and staying alive. You can decorate yourself. You can show your social status by what you wear, some of it being jewelry. That's a very good book for the Renaissance period. There's also another Renaissance book called “Renaissance Jewels and Jeweled Objects: From the Melvin Gutman Collection” by Parker Lesley. It shows wonderful examples of Renaissance-oriented jewelry. There's one called the Hope Pearl Jewel. It's this big, baroque pearl that's decorated as the body of a man. It's very well known. It demonstrates jewels like that. Sharon: From there, does it continue to Georgian and Victorian? Jo Ellen: Yeah, there's a really good book, “Georgian Jewelry 1714-1830,” by Ginny Redington and Tom Dawes with Olivia Collings. It's great because I had never seen a book specifically on Georgian jewelry. It's not glamorous jewelry because the techniques weren't there. It's just that people wanted to adorn themselves to help their social status. It's very collectable today. People collect Georgian jewelry all the time. It goes through the period before Queen Victoria took the throne and clarifies a lot of things. And, again, the information is spot-on. I've never had a problem with these books. When I go to confirm that information, I've never had a problem with it. Sharon: I don't collect Georgian jewelry, but I do know it's very hard to find. Jo Ellen: Yeah, it is, but it shows up at different auctions, sometimes in the most unusual places. Even at Abell Auctions you'll see it. People just hold onto these things. A lot of Georgian jewelry isn't available anymore because people would melt down those items to make new items in a newer fashion, such as a Victorian fashion. They would take the stones out, melt down the metals and then either recast them or remake them in some way into a newer-looking form. That's why you don't see a lot of Georgian jewelry anymore. Sharon: How about Victorian jewelry? There seems to be a lot of it. Jo Ellen: There's a lot of Victorian jewelry. Even though people also did it then, where they would melt things down and make a new piece out of older pieces, there is a lot of Victorian jewelry because Queen Victoria, whom that period is named after, wore a lot of jewelry. She was a big jewelry person. She loved jewelry and she used it for sentimental reasons to give imagery, to bestow favor on people. So, there's a lot of it around because people would want to copy her. Everybody started doing that. You'll have mourning jewelry from Victorian times. A lot of historical things happened during her reign, such as the finding of diamonds in South Africa, which changed the diamond market forever. Before then, there were diamonds from Brazil, primarily, or India, but they're very hard to come by and very, very expensive. Once they opened up the diamond fields in South Africa, you started getting a lot more diamond jewelry. Sharon: By mourning, you mean if somebody dies? Jo Ellen: Yeah. A lot of times, when someone would die, they would leave a certain amount of money in their will to make mourning rings or pendants for their friends and family to remember them by. So, you have this memento mori-type jewelry which has its own collecting base. People collect their little pendants, which are like little baskets with a little enamel skeleton inside, little rings that say the man or woman's name written around the inside of the band, all sorts of things like that. It's kind of sweet because, when you think about it, jewelry is one of the few art forms that's worn close to the body. It makes it more sentimental. Sharon: And the diamonds from South Africa, were they different than the other diamonds, besides being less expensive? Jo Ellen: The thing with Brazilian diamonds in particular is that they had what they call a lot of knots in them, where their crystals grow into crystals. You would have these harder-to-polish areas. With African diamonds, it's such a pure form that they're easier to polish. They didn't take as much time to polish, and they didn't break on the wheel the way that some of the Brazilian diamonds would break. Sharon: They used those diamonds in Victorian jewelry? Jo Ellen: They did. Sharon: What books should we look at if we want to learn about Victorian jewelry? Jo Ellen: There is a wonderful book—in fact, I used to know an antique dealer that used to give out these books to his clients because they were wonderfully organized. There's a book called “Victorian Jewelry” by Margaret Flower, and it goes through the different phases of Victorian jewelry. There's an early, a mid and a late phase. What she does is describe exactly what you can see during each of the phases, what types of jewelry. It's very interesting, and it gives you an overall picture of how things came to be during that time period. It's really nicely done. There's a much larger book I'm still reading because it's so big. It's called “Jewelry in the Age of Queen Victoria” by Charlotte Gere and Judy Rudoe. That also has a lot of very specific information on different types of jewelry, the makers during that time. What's interesting is you'll see the same authors over and over again because these people really use it. It's their way to express themselves as a lifestyle, almost. They're wonderful authors, and they do their research and know what they're talking about. So, those are two Victorian jewelry books I would highly recommend. I think they're wonderfully done. Then, if you want to go into French jewelry, there's another book called “French Jewelry of the Nineteenth Century” by Henri Vever. It's an enormously fat book. I'm still reading that one as well, but again, it's jewelry makers. It's huge. It gives makers' information and techniques, and it's beautifully done. That's a good book to have as well. Sharon: First of all, it strikes me that you seem to look at the pictures a lot more. You read. Most people don't read any of the book. They look at the pictures. That's different. Jo Ellen: They have pictures with jewelry; that's sure to entice you to continue looking. Sharon: Then what do you go into? Edwardian and Art Nouveau? Jo Ellen: Before that, there's actually a period called the Aesthetic Period, which is also covered in the “Jewelry in the Age of Queen Victoria” book. It was in the late 1870s through the 1900s. There were certain makers that specialized in it, like Child & Child of London. They would make these beautiful pieces that harkened back to classical times but using new techniques and materials. That was a specific period. It was a very small period, but all the jewelry that was done during that time is beautifully done. There's a book by Geoffrey Munn called “Castellani and Giuliano,” and it talks about that specific time period. For example, Castellani was known for taking antique or ancient jewelry and refiguring it for that time period around the 1900s. Sharon: He was a goldsmith? Jo Ellen: He was a goldsmith. It was actually two brothers who were goldsmiths. One of the brothers was very politically active and lost an arm when they were demonstrating or something. He got put in jail, but the other brother kept on, and then their children took over after them. In Giuliano's case, which was another manufacturer in Rome, he was known for his enamels. You will see jewelry specifically with black and white enamel accenting other colored enamels. The work is beautifully done, and it's very detailed. Sharon: We may be going back a few years. What was Berlin iron, and when was that popular? Jo Ellen: Berlin ironwork, I believe, was like 1840 through 1860. It was a result of people giving up their precious metals for the Prussian Wars that were happening at that time. They would make this Berlin ironwork, which is very delicate and lacey, but it was made out of iron because they didn't want to use precious metals for that; they wanted to use it for warfare. So, they would use ironwork as a substitute for precious metals. There are some beautifully intricate bracelets and necklaces. It looks like lace. It's really beautiful. Sharon: Is it wearable? Jo Ellen: It is wearable. It's kind of a Gothic look, so it's a heavier look. I don't know if you'd want to wear it every day because, again, it's kind of—I hate to say gloomy, but it is kind of a sober look because it's black and the tracery is so fine. But it's certainly wearable. Sharon: After the Aesthetic Period, we have Edwardian and Art Deco. What do we have? Jo Ellen: What we start with is Arts and Crafts, which is actually my favorite period. I have a lot of books on it, but there are a couple that were really good in terms of pushing forward the information I knew. One is a book called “Jewelry and Metalwork in the Arts and Crafts Tradition” by Elyse Zorn Karlin, who's a very active member of the jewelry industry. She gives lectures. It's this wonderful book on Arts and Crafts jewelry and metalwork and leads you through the making of it with the guilds. They tried to restart jewelry guilds in England where everything was made from first to last by the same person. The metal would be drawn and shaped by the person. If enamels were used, they would make the enamels themselves and apply them themselves. The stone setting was done by the same person. That was the beginning of Arts and Crafts, the person making the piece from beginning to end. Usually they're not terribly intricate, but they're beautifully fashioned with a lot of feeling. It's a very comfortable look, and it's infinitely wearable. The first part of Arts and Crafts started around 1883 through 1900. Then there was a repeat of it between around 1920 and 1935, around the same time as Art Deco. What I forgot to mention during the Aesthetic Period was Carl Fabergé from Russia. He did a lot of Aesthetic pieces. Sharon: He did the eggs, right? Jo Ellen: He did the eggs for the Russian monarchy, but he also did jewelry for everyday people. He would make little, miniature enameled eggs for the general Russian population. Those still come up today once in a while. I saw an entire necklace of Fabergé eggs, all in different enamel colors beautifully done. Everything is so beautifully fashioned. You can tell they really took time in every single aspect of the making of that jewel. That's what I love about it. It shows so much attention to detail.

And I don't like perfection or everything having to be perfect because I'm a bit scruffy, but I do wear flowers in my hair because it makes me happy. And I do like to get dressed up every day and wear an outfit. If it's a vintage dress from years ago or something that makes me happy, whatever that is, I like to start my day feeling happy.”Oberon Sinclair is the CEO and founder of the creative and branding agency, My Young Auntie.

They are lovely gentlemen, and they called me aside and said, 'We'd love to get you involved in our coworking space that we are doing.' And we really curated an interesting community of people. And have had a lot of interesting people do talks, from Paul Smith to Salman Rushdie to Wu-Tang Clan, Tom Sachs, and Ariana Huffington. And I've hosted Prince William and Princess Kate. We've had some incredible people here and I love talking to people, and I love hosting these conversations. I did one last night with my dear friend Carlos Alomar, who was the musical director and long-time collaborator with David Bowie for 30 years. And I just love people's stories. So for me, it's inspirational. The one thing I like to do is to inspire people -not me - but if I can show them someone's life, it's a way for people to learn."https://myyoungauntie.comwww.instagram.com/myyoungauntieprwww.neuehouse.comwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgInstagram @creativeprocesspodcast
