Over a decade on from Downton Abbey first airing on ITV, the trials and tribulations of the Crawley family are set to return to our screens once again, as the highly anticipated Downton Abbey: A New Era hits cinemas this April.
Throughout the hit series, and subsequent film which swiftly followed, we have witnessed Their Ladyships model authentic costumes and stunning jewellery. The show is ripe with accurate historical detail, even down to the jewellery they boast, which in turn, has inspired a fashion for jewels of this era today.
Using an art historian’s eye, even though the stones were designed to mirror the cutting styles of the Edwardian and Art Deco eras as designer, Andrew Price, added a little more sparkle to the costumes of Downton Abbey*.
For anyone looking to emulate the classic style of the Crawley family, Berry’s Jewellers, the UK’s leading family-owned, luxury jewellers, has collated some of its most outstanding vintage pieces as it celebrates its 125th anniversary during 2022.
