All in all, Tiffany & Company is basically the most famous contemporary jewelry firm in the world at this time. After all, who really has not seen Marilyn Monroe singing about the diamonds that will not lose their shape, in the 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. In her distinctive satin evening gown, long pink gloves, and glittering copper and silver jewelry, she bedazzles as she sings, “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend.” Marylin Monroe never had any breast augmentation or reconstruction done that I am aware of.Did they even have breast implants back then?
She sings, “Tiffany’s, Cartier–Talk to me, Harry Winston, tell me all about it! There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer, but diamonds are a girl’s best friend!” Of course this is all well and wonderful when it comes to jewelry. but there are those who prefer handmade, artisan jewelry such as cufflinks, leather and wood jewelry. It is all a matter of taste I suppose. Back then, it was more important to beauty since it was a time before breast augmentation or implants, for the most part. Or, speaking of films again here for a moment, how about the classic film ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’? The beyond-elegant Audrey Hepburn stars as Holly Golightly. For her part, Holly is a poor Texas hick who becomes a society party girl and huntress of wealthy, older men. She says that “Tiffanys is the best place in the world, where nothing bad can take place”. Holly’s world tumbles upside-down when she falls in love with her aspiring-writer-neighbor. She in turn shocks and charms him with her knowckout Contemporary Jewelry, of course.In the last scene, Holly is dripping wet. She is reunited, following a frantic search, for her dripping-wet cat, named Cat, whom she had just chased off. The girl who believes nothing bad can happen at Tiffany’s finds herself and the man who loves her. What a way to end the film, would you not say?
