Many of the most imaginative designs by the world s great jewelry
houses and artisans take inspiration from the animal kingdom. From
Cartier s iconic panthers to Bulgari s snakes and JAR s
butterflies, these spectacular objects dripping with precious
stones are akin to wearable art. Beautiful Creatures depicts some
of the most spectacular beasts ever transformed into sparkling
treasures and accompanies a special exhibition in the American
Museum of Natural History s Allison and Roberto Mignone Halls of
Gems and Minerals, opening in fall 2020. The 120 pieces featured
date from the mid-1800s to the present, representing species from
the realms of land, air, and water. Gorgeous studio photography of
the jewelry is complemented by images of iconic personalities,
including Elizabeth Taylor, Twiggy, and the Duchess of Windsor
wearing famous animal-inspired jewels. Guest curator Marion Fasel
relays the stories behind the individual pieces through
entertaining anecdotes and reveals the colorful histories and
fascinating symbolism of these remarkable creatures in precious
gems and metals that intrigue and delight and that we never tire of
wearing.
