4 Fabulous Jewelry Designs by Hollywood's Tony Duquette

One of the major movers and shakers in American style is Tony Duquette. His over-the-top glam-on-top-of-glam interior design accessorizing underscored the Hollywood chic of the Golden Age of Movies, brought over into personal style and home fashion.

An influencer of the Hollywood Regency Style of glamourous decorating, Duquette was also a major jewelry designer - from homes to individuals, he was all about creating fine jewelry and accessorizing ("More is More.") Click on the photo of each jewelry item for more information about each gorgeous piece. Enjoy the video tour of his Beverly Hills home, Dawnridge. We'll show you some of Duquette's beautiful interiors and gardens as well as his personal jewelry, brought out for visiting celebrity filmmaker and jewelry designer Liz Goldwyn.

As lead curriculum developer for Sheffield School, I think couture jewelry is amazing, and I enjoy hearing each designer's backstory. If you're interested in learning more about jewelry design, then I encourage you to explore the Sheffield School, New York, NY. Sheffield began as an Interior Design school in 1985, and then expanded our course offerings to train people in other design-related fields, including Feng ShuiWedding and Event Planning, and Jewelry Design. With thousands of active students and more than 50,000 graduates, Sheffield has trained more design professionals than any school in the world.

This jewellery is absolutely stunning! When you say "over-the-top glam-on-top-of-glam" you are spot on!

I'd hate to think about how much something like this would cost!

I like the 3rd image. It looks like gold bars.
