Colección de joyas, que no son las "de pasar", de Doña Sofía y de las infantas Elena y Cristina

[Heleades]

Me parece demasiado modesta la pulsera para acompañar tan suntuosas joyas.

Estaba pensando en estas joyas, que han lucido ambas:

Tal vez tenga mas que ver con los pendientes de zafiros del dia de la Constitucion

 

[Heleades]

Hay muchas, muchas piezas guardadas en el joyero de Letizia¡¡

Estuve buscando en las joyas de Sofia pero no la encontré Princess Kate, y el caso es que me suena y no se de que...

Muchas gracias. Saluditos.
Me pasa igual. Me suena y no sé de qué.

CATALOGUE NOTE
"To history, [the Dalí jewels] will prove that objects of pure beauty, without utility but executed marvelously, were appreciated in a time when the primary emphasis appeared to be upon the utilitarian and the material. [They] were not conceived to rest soullessly in steel vaults. They were created to please the eye, uplift the spirit, stir the imagination and express convictions."
—Salvador Dalí


The crowning glory of this ensemble of 39 jewels, which Dalí created between 1941 and 1970, is undoubtedly The Eye of Time. Originally conceived in 1949 as a gift for his wife Gala, The Eye of Time plays on the themes and myths that obsessed the artist’s thoughts and incorporates two of the most iconic Dalí symbols: the eye and the clock. Surrounded by rows of pavé-set diamonds and set in platinum with a cabochon ruby, the eye's pupil is made of three shades of blue enamel and brilliantly doubles as the face of a working Movado movement. Dalí entrusted the making of his jewels to the illustrious New York jewelers Alemany and Ertman, who made a limited number of pieces after the artist’s original designs and under his strict observation. There are three known examples of The Eye of Time, including one in a prominent European Royal collection, another which was formerly in the collection of The Owen Cheatham Foundation and which is now on permanent display at the Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí in Figueres, and the present work.
