Historic diamonds, Mughal emeralds, endless pearls, Burmese sapphires, blood-red rubies, even a Romanov crown and Fabergé egg (or two)… When it comes to private collections amassed by a single person, it’s hard to beat the jewellery box of Marjorie Merriweather Post. No surprise then, that when the opportunity came up to dive deeper into Post’s life and uncover the stories behind the gems for a new webinar, I jumped at it …and (spoiler) it didn’t disappoint. To hear - and see - more, do join me and Wilfried Zeisler, the chief curator of Post’s phenomenal collection at her former residence, Hillwood Museum, Estate and Gardens (where he will be on the day!) as we go behind-the-scenes for ‘The Cartiers and Marjorie Merriweather Post’ webinar.
