Your point is very well taken, and would be especially true of an event not quite as well-publicized as the Oscars. Let's not forget that this a global event -- a kind of world stage -- and I feel that Ms. Mulligan's choice was a dramatic one for the moment, and that she is an actor. She's also young, so pretty, and perhaps experimenting with jewelry in a way that is avant garde or individualistic. She is a powerful actor, so her choice, I feel, is an expression of both her currently personal style and her aesthetic as an artist. I thought that Ms. Fey's choice suited her very well, and I particularly liked how her earrings related to her dress in color and sophistication. She really looked lovely.

I just feel like the earrings are wearing her. I did love her dress, but I wished she'd worn Tina Fey's earrings or something similarly less wide and long.

As for whether or not they are part of a collection for Tiffany & Co. I do not know -- perhaps if you contact Kentshire Galleries they would be able to tell you more about them. That is if they can verify this information, of course. I, too, am a huge fan of Angela Cummings work. Thank you for your commentary!!!

They look so very OF THE MOMENT. (Don't they look lmost digital?) And I am always a sucker for un-identical earrings. I certainly miss Angela Cummings's extraordinary work. The Kentshire Galleries site didn't say if these were from her Tiffany's line or some other. They don't look familiar to me as from Tiffany at all. Although the materials are certainly what she was using them. I pretty much memorized her Tiffany stuff, so I think I would have remembered these. And I spent many an hour with my nose pressed to the glass at Bergdorf's looking at her wonderous work --- so I'm sure these would have made an impression on me. Do you know where these are from?

I published an article in an online journal on the history of the shirtwaist dress, and a reporter from the Financial Times lifted a good bit of information from my article without siting her source. After I emailed her and her managing editor, and some back and forth with a lawyer for the Financial Times, they published the following in a later column (it's at the bottom): http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/4a56b17a-a532-11dc-a93b-0000779fd2ac.html?nclick_check=1) Heather www.wornthrough.com A very similar thing happened to me.
