jewelry in the movies...

[jewelerman]

Do you pay special attention to the jewelry details in the movies you watch?Looking to see if they used real jewels or fakes, or if the pieces are correct for the period.Do you wait till the end of the movie to read the jewelry credits and if you were correct on the jeweler who donated the major pieces?I''m guilty on all the above!In the Royals thread I mentioned that there were major inconsistencies in movie The other Boleyn sister (the pearl clasp on Anne Boleyn''s famous necklace changed to a ribbon tie in different scenes as well as the shape of the pearls.My favorite inconsistency is in a movie is the 80s comedy Weekend at Bernie''s where a Rolex watch appears in a close up of a hand and then disappears before the shot is even done!

When I was watching Bride Wars I kept pausing the scene where Kate Hudson gets her Tiffany ring to check out the style.

I noticed this, too! I always watch for pretty sparklies, and will occasionally look them up online if I really like them, but usually I just enjoy ogling.

I stared at her ring in the film as well..Where did you find out it was fake? I thought I could tell the difference, but I thought her ring looked very real.

 

[coati]

Always!

The Great Gatsby--Mia Farrow''s diamond ring stole the show!

 

[Amber St. Clare]

I absolutely check out the jewelry--also the manicures on the actresses as well. Beautifully manicured hands are a thing with me.

 

[PumpkinPie]

Only since I discovered Pricescope!

Grace Kelly wore her real 12 carat emerald cut engagement ring to Prince Ranier in High Society, her final role with Bing Crosby-that was worth viewing a few times

Jeweleman,

Big fan of Anne Boleyn in all Tudor movies, I keep an eye on all her jewels in movies. She is my pearl queen

I loved the jewelry worn by Kate Blanchette as Queen Elizabeth in both of the Elizabeth movies, but the second one was my favorite. I either missed, or they didn''t have, credits for who did the jewelry. Anyone....?

OOhhh, Kate Blanchette as Elizabeth, now that was Elizabeth, a Tudor Queen-, daughter of Anne Boleyn--- just the greatest ever.

I really need to just get a copy so I can stop it and study the jewelry. It was truly incredible stuff. I'm assuming it was accurate period, but I don't know enough to say for sure. Regardless, it was just lovely stuff...

ETA - back when I was looking for who made the jewelry however, I DID come across this fun site....

just saw The Blind side and it was a wealth of jewelry and watches...Chanel(white watch)Rolex...not clear enough to see if genine but over 6 were represented.There as a few Van Cleef and Arpel necklaces and David Yerman was well represented!A great show!

 

[waterlilly]

usually I only look at the rings. i don''t try to determine if they are real or anything, but always look during movies and on TV...

 

[Lynnie]

Always!

My soap opera has a lot of bling. I''m sure it''s fake, but I wonder if maybe sometimes the stars wear their own sets. I also try to guess the caratage. haha

 

[vip0802]

yes, always!

i especially liked the pieces in How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days! that 84-carat yellow diamond pendant that Kate Hudson wore, literally made me gasp out loud in the theater.

 

[zoebartlett]

I notice jewelry in movies and on TV too.

 

[joelly]

Since PS, I''ve noticed all jewelry pieces wherever I go and whatever I do, it was totally shameless of me. But I can''t help myself.
