The Downton Tassel by Cynthia Rutledge

10-4 Pacific Time

For many, the historical drama television series Downton Abbey by Julian Fellowes, was truly masterful. The show was set in circa 1912 to 1926 and depicts the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their domestic servants in the post Edwardian era. Their lives revolved around major world events as in the sinking of the Titanic and the First World War.

The Downton Tassel is inspired by the work of Andrew Prince and the beautiful jewelry that he created for the show. Pearls in the 1920’s were all the rage, so I created a long, beautiful pearl chain (called a sautoir) ending with a bezeled cushion cut CZ and a fabulous swinging tassel. Let’s get our flapper on!
