I was never a big fan of their styling but this show was impressive in scale with a very complete range of early pieces to "celebrity owned" pieces. I loved the transformation group in which each piece transforms into multiple separate pieces like this bird brooch above, the wings of the bird become earrings and the drop becomes a pendant. The quality of the gemstones was astounding as most gemstones today (even very expensive ones) has been enhanced in some way, with modern technology. The colors and quality of the gemstones are amazing, for example the docent explained that the emeralds in the earliest pieces came from Egypt, today most quality emeralds from Columbia.
