Few Americans rocked #HighJewelry like #MarjorieMerriweatherPost, and few of her storied jewels were more iconic than today’s #WearableProzac – the #OOAK #Mughal-inspired #ArtDeco #ShoulderBrooch by @Cartier. Featuring 7 #Carved #IndianEmeralds (250cts) – the largest dating back to the #17thCentury, featuring a #Flower #Motif on one side, and a #Persian #Inscription on the other – as well as some smaller #Emeralds, and a whole bunch of #Diamonds, all set in #Platinum. Post wore the piece both as a #ShoulderBrooch (as shown in the 1929 portrait of Post with daughter #NedeniaHutton – aka the recently deceased #DinaMerrill – by #GiulioDeBlaas), and as a #Pendant, suspended from her equally fabulous #ArtDecoIndianNecklace (as in the photograph, dressed as #Juliette, for the 1929 #PalmBeachEvergladesBall). Both pieces can be seen now, as part of the exhibit #SPECTACULAR #GemsAndJewelryFromTheMerriweatherPostCollection; on display through next year, at her grand #WashingtonDC estate, @HillwoodMuseum. #GetIntoIt #HillwoodMuseum #Cartier #StoriedGems #HistoricJewels (at Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens)
