As Vogue identifies modern heirlooms as a key trend, we are seeing new life breathed into antique styles. We鈥檙e drawn to pieces that hold meaning, tell a backstory鈥攑ossibly through generations鈥攁nd give them a sense of rediscovering something new.

This rebirth illustrates how jewelry archives are increasingly tapped as sources of authenticity and prestige, adding a layer of history. The same is true in how costume designers interpret this trend: where did this character get their jewelry, and how can it create cinematic intrigue?

Refer back to HBO鈥檚 鈥淭he Gilded Age鈥� and lose yourself in the endless loops of intricate filigree and ornate metalwork, all thrones upon which the diamonds reside.

As we see what鈥檚 old is becoming new again, Christopher Designs is mastering this trend鈥攚hether it鈥檚 elaborate Belle Epoque styles reminiscent of the Gilded Age鈥檚 treasure, or crisp, geometric ones that recall Art Deco architecture.

You can even get your own star-themed glitz from the New York-based designer, as well. Cross the Atlantic back to London鈥檚 Downton Abbey finale that takes place in the 1930s. Lady Mary opens the film in a breathtaking crimson silk gown, fashioned with diamond dress clips and spikey diamond chandeliers emerging from her bobbed hair, reminiscent of Christopher Design鈥檚 L鈥橝mour Crisscut^庐 diamond star earrings (as pictured).
