V&A Al Thani exhibition: the world's most amazing Indian jewellery lights up London
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
With the announcement of 400 pieces of the Al Thani Collection up for auction at Chrsitie's in New York this June, I thought it would be a good time to share again my video of the Bejewelled Treasures exhibition at the V&A Museum in London in 2015. The 400 pieces for sale represent but a fraction of the entire collection so enjoy the video which showcases the spectacular Al Thani collection - a dazzling history of the magnificence of Indian jewellery from the 17th century to modern day. This awe-inspiring collection of Al Thani jewels captures the jaw-dropping opulence of the courts of the Mughals, the splendid style of the maharajas, and the beauty that India has inspired in contemporary jewels. From early court jewels and famous diamonds such as the 70ct Idol’s Eye or the 57ct Star of Golconda, the exhibition takes us through time to the early 20th century with outstanding pieces of Art Deco jewels by houses such as Cartier and Mellerio dits Meller, or celebrated designer Paul Iribe. The exhibition culminates in a series of jewels by contemporary masters JAR and Viren Bhagat - reason enough to visit this unique exhibition. A jewellery collection of this calibre is not to be missed as it is a true treasure trove of delights. Read more here: www.thejewelleryeditor.com/eve...

The Indians really know how to catch the attention. Such beautiful jewels...
Ruby !!!!! But I can see the blood of INDIAN people ...
I went to see Cartier at the Met years back. The Indian inspired jewelry was really the Most! rubys and sapphire cut like fruit with emerald foliage. It's just too much! It was amazing.
Jai India! Divine creativity in all you bring to the world.

It really is a tragic double edged sword, admiring these priceless magnificent jewels... while there is no denying the exceptional skill required to create them, one simply cannot forget that for hundreds of years, millions of enslaved and starving people slaved away in absolute squallor and died tragic deaths just so that a select few people could swish around all day, every day, playing with priceless jewels (that could have fed, clothed, sheltered and educated hundreds of people, for years!
The craftsmanship is breathtaking, absolutely breathtaking. Thank you.
How did I miss this splendid video in 2015? That was a tremendous exhibition and this video does it justice. I wish I could have seen it. I am going to purchase a book about these Indian jewels.
Magnificent jewels!
The jewellery is breathtaking!
Im not a fan of jewellries. But watching this that every jewellry comes with history, wish i have one.
Dazzling. Utterly dazzling. I wish the film had been longer.

Hola a todos. La señora que presenta el vídeo, siempre va a las exposiciones o tiendas de joyería bien desarreglada, con ropa corriente y la joyería que usa bien corriente, sino va al súper mercado o a la tiendita de la esquina, ¡va a casas joyeras de mucho prestigio! Debe asistir a esos lugares con ropa formal, elegante y usar joyería fina y hermosa. Ni modo que no tenga dinero suficiente para lucir bella, presentable y apropiada para estos eventos. Descuadra por completo con su presencia corriente y la elegancia y el lujo de las joyas.
Is there a book for the exhibition on sale?

They weren’t “sent as gifts” they were extorted. Nobody in India considered her the Empress of India. She was only the British Queen to us. Guess she crowned herself. The entitlement of the Europeans & the delusion of superiority still blows my mind to this this day.

These magnificent jewellery pieces were all plundered by the British from the Indians they conquered. To view these, visit the Victoria and Albert Museum to witness the finest in stolen treasures.

Why not leave these beautiful pieces in India, for them to show in a museum for profit? Why not bring tourism in though the culture to India instead of England? Why must the tartars steal everyone's culture?

Calling the Queen a thief is out of line. In later years British and Indian government relationships have been difficult but on a personal level the Queen has had friendship with Maharajas and warmly gifted with lovely Indian pieces of jewelry. The Queen is very, very wealthy and has no need to "steal" anything.
