Jewellery designers are commonly asked to send in pieces of costume jewellery they’ve manufactured for the film industry. Amazing necklaces, bracelets and tiaras that have had their own starring role and adorned famed film stars are going to be sought. Obviously the sparkling collection of glitter and bling for the films are paste instead of diamonds, but they make a good display.

Pieces by jewellery designers for films are going to be displayed at the Jewellery on Screen exhibition at Somerset House on The Strand in London next June as a part of London Jewellery Week. The show has got Orkney jewellery designers contemplating how some of our more traditional collections ranging from mens Celtic rings to modern day style charms could be just just the thing for the film industry.

The Tudor range, by way of example, influenced by the gemstones and spectacular decoration of the period, is a traditional style for films about Elizabeth I featuring Cate Blanchet or Helen Mirren. And our Louise ring could well decorate the finger of her namesake in Thelma and Louise, played by Susan Sarandon.

Jewellery Designers in the Movies

One Orkney collection features Birdland necklaces, earrings, brooches and charms showing birds in flight across a northern sky. Daphne du Maurier’s novel, The Birds, however produced a more terrifying view of these things – not helped by a Hitchcock horror movie featuring Tippi Hedren and Rod Taylor! The Heart collection links with plenty of famous films for example the recent Crazy Heart with Jeff Bridges. But aside from the romantic Heart there is also Braveheart, who could gladly wear many of the mens Celtic rings or our Sword kiltpin style.
