Brooch

Marcus & Co. (New York City, New York)

c.1900

This exquisite brooch is one of the few extant examples of plique-à-jour jewelry made by the New York firm of Marcus & Co., whose reputation at its prime rivaled that of Tiffany & Co. Herman Marcus (1828–99), a German–born and Dresden–trained jeweler, arrived in New York in 1850 and worked for a number of prestigious firms before establishing Marcus & Co. in 1892. Following his death, the company continued under the direction of his two sons, George Elder Marcus and William Marcus.

The brooch is a superb example of Marcus & Co.’s work in plique-à-jour enameling, in which the "cells" of color have no backing, allowing light to shine through the transparent enamel, thereby creating the effect of stained glass. One of the only jewelry firms of its day to succeed at this challenging technique, Marcus & Co. followed the lead of such innovative French designers as René Lalique. The sensitive 3-dimensional sculpting of the sweet pea blossoms and leaves, as well as the naturalistic coloring of the enamels, reflects the Art Nouveau aesthetic that prevailed at the turn of the century. Indeed, close parallels can be drawn with the brilliant naturalistic work of Louis Comfort Tiffany, whose oeuvre is so well represented in the Met’s collection.

Queen Camilla attended a garden party at Buckingham Palace and wore the pink Williamson brooch.

Jewel of the day

The central stone of this flower-shaped brooch is considered one of the finest pink diamonds ever discovered. It was presented to The Queen as a wedding present in 1947 by the Canadian geologist and royalist, Dr. John Thorburn Wililamson.

The Queen had the stone cut and set into this brooch in 1953.

Summer Ensemble

The jacket is linen with many hand done elements including the buttonholes and pockets. I based it heavily on the extant example at Colonial Williamsburg and another at the Kent museum. I was going to draft it myself But I lost my book so I just altered my tailcoat pattern. It was really cool to make a garment more specific to where I’m from. It can be worn with or without a vest.

The breeches are made with cotton with a slight sheen. I think it’s glazed cotton. The buckles I got from Burnley and Trowbridge and I like them a lot.

Both fabrics and the cravat fabric were acquired second hand.

The straw hat is vintage from roughly 1950s
