Triple Pearl Strand Silver Necklace
Jewelry Inspired by Series “The Crown”
The Inspiration for our Necklace - Truly Fit for a Queen
I could hardly wait for the season to start. Netflix's big budget series (rumored to cost $100 million dollar) "The Crown" is a TV program which chronicles the life of Queen Elizabeth.
Season 1 starts in 1947 with a 21 year old, just-married Elizabeth, portrayed by Claire Foy. The decade following covers the beginning of her reign, the early years of her marriage to Prince Philip and relationship with her younger sister Margaret.
Michele Clapton, the costume designer for the series, said that she was attracted to the project's complicated layers: "It was something that I was really interested in doing because of the story I had to tell, the public and private life."
In the series there were 350 principal costumes and about 7000 extras' costumes all beautifully detailed.
In the series, the Queen is shown wearing a triple pearl strand necklace, as well as a double strand necklace as you can see in the image above. After careful consideration I could see that something important was missing from those strands…
It appears to me, and I could be wrong, that the pearls were not strung and not with knots. Something only a jewelry designer would see, a very small detail, but important to me. As pearls should always be knotted, the knots provide the spacing between the pearls to prevent them from touching, which can damage the surface and make them dull or even chipped. Always string your valuable pearls on silk and sepaarte each pearl with w tight knot.
