The Legacy Collection - Rare vintage jewels, handpicked to be treasured for generations.
 
Step into the resplendence of vintage luxury with this magnificent 1980s necklace and earrings set by Jenny D’Ormond, a name celebrated for her statement costume jewelry rooted in European craftsmanship and timeless glamour. This exceptional piece has been carefully handpicked from a renowned UK vintage and antique dealer in London, and now forms part of our Legacy Collection — curated for collectors who value rarity, artistry, and wearable history.
 
The three-strand collar necklace is composed of creamy imitation pearls, interspersed with jewel-toned glass beads in emerald green, ruby red, and sapphire blue, accented with delicate crystal connectors. The centrepiece is a dazzling peacock feather-inspired pendant, composed of layered marquise-cut crystals in vivid jewel tones, framed with fine brilliant-cut stones — mimicking the movement and light play of true plumes.
 
What sets this apart is the intelligent construction: each layer of the pendant and earrings is articulated and movable, allowing for graceful, fluid motion. A gold-toned braided chain at the back offers both structure and design finesse. The earrings are matching clip-ons, long and cascading — glamorous enough to stand alone, yet magnificent when paired with the necklace for a head-turning entrance.
 
Reminiscent of jewels worn by Rajmata Gayatri Devi and other royal icons, this piece reflects a time when chiffon sarees met silk gloves, when Indian opulence flirted effortlessly with Western elegance. It's a brilliant embodiment of fusion dressing, making it ideal for weddings, soirées, or any occasion calling for regal flair.
