Did you know that Cartier, who had agreed to allow Aaron Spelling to use the brand's name when they read the script, eventually sued the production or director when they saw the actual footage on TV. They had seen a previous footage where the necklace broke and just fell to the ground and had reluctantly approved it, but then the director didn't like the cut and had the scene reshot and wanted the necklace to fall apart. Cartier's HQ in Paris were furious when they saw the footage and contacted Cartier in the US (where this was shot, it wasn't in HK, they just used a Chinese store clerk) and demanded an explanation. A Cartier pearl necklace and any pearl necklace of value have the pearls knotted individually and even if the string breaks (which is very unlikely because Cartier's pearl necklaces are threaded with 5 strands of the highest quality silk). The fun part is that Joan Herself told the director that this was a bad idea and that Cartier might not like it, and that she didn't want to become persona non grata at Cartier. And she was right. Cartier and Spelling came up with a financial agreement eventually to avoid the lawsuit. That was really a "Cartier Affair" ! Sorry i had to make the pun...
Oh and the reason i know that is because i got it from my aunt. My aunt and uncle used to manage the Eden Rock hotel in Antibes in the south of France and Joan was a regular, and sometimes she would divulge a few juicy stories !
No but I can imagine! How in the hell did the director ever think Cartier might want to have a scene shown where pearls selled by them would fall into pieces? Ridiculously stupid.
She's gotten in a couple over the years. Meeting Alexis before Alexis was flying out of town, she remarked, "Have a nice flight, Alexis. Are you taking a plane?"
The fact that every half decent pearl necklace has little loops between every pearl so this exact thing doesn't happen makes this scene even funnier. But oh, what's better than dramatic act of pearls flying all over the place in one swift move of the hand
For someone who Always claimed to want Alexis out of their lives, Krystal sure does her darnest to track her down to tell her she wants Alexis out of their lives. I agree Krystal seeks out Alexis to tell her how fabulos Blake Thinks she is, and Alexis comes back with her zinger and Krystal claims her Life is empty so she has to leave them all alone. Krystal Always were such a meek woman.
I get the feeling from watching this now that Krystle had a few years of taking Alexis' put-down under her belt and by this point had learned how to hold her own with her. I think at first Krystle was taken aback by Alexis' acidity, but certainly developed the ability to sling the hash right back at her. :)
Does anyone know if Joan wrote any of the script? ("Casting) pearls before swine" is a very English saying. It normally refers to misunderstood pearls of wisdom.
@@LadyT918 Yes thank you. It's also a regularly used very English saying so l am wondering if Lady Collins or her sister had any input in the Dynasty script?
And add to that, she was trying out a double strand long pearl necklace that older women wore when they were all dolled up! Reminds me of Barbara Bush but she aways very tasteful with her pearls.
thelessimportantAJ michel This looks like it was an extra ‘fussy’ day for her signature hairdo. Lol It looks extra teased and sprayed, and it looks like it took a lot of excess handling to get it together, which can make any hairstyle look flat and lifeless. It may have been very humid on the set for some reason. The color looks weird too. Ash blonde with little flints of red gold in there somewhere. Not a good hair day...haha! 🤷🏻♂️
The best part of this is the first 10 seconds when we see the gritty street, the Cartier logo, two more sets of jewels, then the handheld mirror pops up and it is Joan Collins. Hehe. High camp! But, hmmm...Locked up behind glass...the security killed the magic for me a little.
@@plumeria66 yeah and this was filmed in a Hollywood studio not actually in Hong Kong, and if she had spoken Cantonese Alexis not the audience wouldn't understand
As if a necklace from Cartier would break apart like this . Quality pearl necklaces from Cartier are not only created using the most resistant silk threads mixed with kevlar , but the each pearl is also pierced in a very precise and specific way (making the hole narrower at its center) and the thread double tied after each pearl is beaded , so that even if the necklace or bracelet was to very improbably break, only one pearl would go loose . This scene is the cheapest ever made in the whole Dynasty series and shows that neither the director nor the accessory department guys knew anything about true quality . When i first watched this with my very aristocratic Grand Mother, she laughed so hard , she almost chocked .
Well every good bitch fight has to have that element of physical action or unexpected turmoil to feed the formula. Since it was going to be difficult to incorporate Crystle somehow punching Alexis’s lights out at Cartier...they went with a (lame) prop malfunction. 🤷🏻♂️
Chinese happen t have the best natural perals on the planet . And you might want to think what you want about Them Chinese as you call them, but today there is no country with more billionaires than China so they are the new Dynasty . One of my Chinese customers here in Zurich is worth 34 billion CHF , she is 28 years old . Even Alexis wasn't that rich at that age , or at any age for that matter , neither is Joan Collins. She is actually worth more than the Carrington and the Colby put together. She is worth nearly 10 times what Oprah is worth and actually richer than the Obamas the Bush and the Clintons put together . She is 28 years old , so you might want to think again before talking about the Chinese in a condescending way , because the way things are going , in less than 10 years China might be the richest country on the planet before the US, and your kids or grand kids may have to learn Chinese if they want to find a job .
thekingofmoney2000 I said what I said....the only racism I see here is the one squirted outta YOUR twisted mind; so check with either your local preacher, doctor or drug dealer to help YOU deal with it.

Dominique With The Burnt Champagne Line And Krystle With The Pearls Before Swine RETORT,They Really SHADED Alexis,Dynasty Was So FUN,God I Miss The 80's!!! TV Was Better Then,Especially The Primetime Soaps!!!
"Coincidence? I've been looking all over Hong Kong for you".
I hope one day I get to utter this line in real life.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Krystle is The Flash on heels...
Funny everytime I run into my arch enemy it's at McDonald's
really funny your comment hahahaa
Lmfao.
No matter all the countless times I have watched this encounter between these two, I enjoy a good laugh!
Mines at walmart 😃😸🤪😄
That's where broke ass losers go.
I like how Alexis' scowl is both contempt but a little admiration for Krystle's parting zinger. She can appreciate a good sparring partner.
Right? I was thinking "She loves Krystle - she admires her"
Yeah,That Contempt Mixed With Grudging Respect/Admiration LOVE IT!!! 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥

Wow! That's an interesting fact. I didn't know that there was a story behind it.
No but I can imagine! How in the hell did the director ever think Cartier might want to have a scene shown where pearls selled by them would fall into pieces? Ridiculously stupid.
That’s a great story!!! I did not know this before reading your comment!
Ughh, don't you just hate it when your pearl necklace from Cartier just falls apart.
It’s such a bother
I know!
Why didnt she just lift them over her head
@@kboyer1 and possibly ruin her coiffure?!
Yes darling 💁🏻♀️
Krystal is working that white pant suit OUT.
It was a skirt but yes she worked it.
She was working everything but that hairstyle. Ki ki.
That's not a pantsuit, that's a costume. And yes, she did!
Just think what they'll say about these times
@@darkskinss I liked her hair like that
at 0:11 when Joan's face is in the mirror she reminds me of the queen from snow white
Bree Tee Funnily enough, she did play both the wicked stepmother and the witch in the Hansel and Gretel episode of Faerie Tale Theatre.
@@Jakegothicsnake Talk About Full Circle Moments And Cosmic Coincidences!!! 😏😏😏😏😏😏👸🏻🖤🔥😍🥰🤩
The outfits of Ms Collins in "Dynasty" are breathtaking.
Those shoulder pads are the real stars of that scene
Yes, and those shoulder pads are more stable and secure than the US economy
Besides the physical catfights, scenes like these made "Dynasty" all the more fun.
Wow! Krystle FINALLY got in a good one!
She's gotten in a couple over the years. Meeting Alexis before Alexis was flying out of town, she remarked, "Have a nice flight, Alexis. Are you taking a plane?"
@@tonywrestles2 That's a classic
tonywrestles2 Lol
At the salon before Fallon's wedding - "you like to sling MUD Alexis?"
She landed quite a few zingers during the series.
The fact that every half decent pearl necklace has little loops between every pearl so this exact thing doesn't happen makes this scene even funnier. But oh, what's better than dramatic act of pearls flying all over the place in one swift move of the hand
Love this! One of the best written, dynamic, and most sussinct Krystle and Alexis encounters ever.
I can never get over how beautiful Joan Collins is! Even at 50 plus!
Still looking great at over 80
Joan Collins Beauty Is Eternal!!! 😍🥰🤩❤❤❤💨💨💨💨🔥🔥🔥
::...so dowdy, they might look good on you!..." I love that line!!
That punchline is hilarious!
Bright orange lipstick and monstrous shoulder pads; the 80s was a wild time
Don’t be a hater, she looks gorgeous.
"Well a little shopping, naturally". LOL!! Just dropping by Cartier to spend 50,000 smackeroos!
Of course the pearls fell off Alexis has claws.LoL
Benson Dallas And Dynasty..All filmed in Hong Kong in the mid 80's !! Thanks for the Upload 👍 !! Xd
Krystle the best 😍👍
Miss Krystle delivers a double whammy❗
Pearls can still be restrung...
insults make you feel stung. HA! (lol!)
I love their style, classy and sassy.
This sentence was so great from Krystle. Alexis was spechless.
Pearls before swine. And what a pearls!
Krystle with that subtle call out at 0:46!!
YAAAASSSS!!!!❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥
Couldn't stand the second Mrs. Carrington, such a goody two shoes
01:05 "you know I'm not sure about these pearls--they're so dowdy they might look good on you!"
I love Joan Collins as Alexis so much! 😍👠👠💞💗
KRYSTLE FOR THE WIN,IN THE PHYSICAL FIGHTS AND THIS QUICK RETORT GRADE-A SHADE SHE THREW,LMAO!!! 😏😏😏😏😏😏😏🥰😍🤩😆🤣😂
Despite the fact that Alexis is rotted to the core, she was always polite to service staff
Bet that store has a whole box full of "expensive" pearl necklaces with trick clasps that fall apart like that
Is Joan Collins comming back
The jeweller just walks away and leaves a customer alone with an incredibly rare and expensive pearl necklace? 😂

Monica Blom To Be fair, Krystal was always strong enough to whoop Alexis’ can into the dirt.
@@Jakegothicsnake THAT PART!!! 🎤 DROP!!! ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This was before you could just text people insults.
There is no way they'd play that intro music to Hong Kong today 😂
As if an exclusive strand of Cartier pearls would ever break just like that.
This is a TV show where people come back from the dead. You're expecting realism?
😂😂😂😂

Picking up all those pearls is gonna be an exacting and bothersome task. Every pearl is valuable.
Does anyone know if Joan wrote any of the script? ("Casting) pearls before swine" is a very English saying. It normally refers to misunderstood pearls of wisdom.
john kean it’s in the Bible
@@LadyT918 Yes thank you. It's also a regularly used very English saying so l am wondering if Lady Collins or her sister had any input in the Dynasty script?
@@johnkean5848 I wonder too. Alexis is my favorite. I wish she had that line instead of Crystal. It would've sounded better. HAHA
@@LadyT918 Yes but poor Krystal - she was only there to set the lines up simply for Alexis to knock 'em over. So do let her have that one line.
john kean “...pearls before swine” comes from the Bible. “Nor cast your pearls before swine”
OH hell No Kyrstle throws shade
That Was Quick,Off The Cuff,Reflex First Class SHADE!!! 👑👸🏼😏😏😏😏😎😎😎😎❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥
Alexis has nerve calling Krystal dowdy while wearing that tacky, ill-fitting blouse.
Its the 80's dear! If it wasn't crazy looking, it was the wrong generation.
And add to that, she was trying out a double strand long pearl necklace that older women wore when they were all dolled up! Reminds me of Barbara Bush but she aways very tasteful with her pearls.

“I’m really not sure about these pearls… theyre so dowdy… they might look good on yooooouuuuuuu….”
There's randomly no employees there when the pearls spill everywhere
Hey they get Miss Evans’ hair to do that!
thelessimportantAJ michel This looks like it was an extra ‘fussy’ day for her signature hairdo. Lol

OOOHHH , Let me tell you! 3 VERY EXHAUSTED hairstylists working overtime! :-)
80's perfection
A quality pearl strand are individually knotted and could not fall apart!
Right. If a quality pearl strand breaks only one pearl would fall off because of the knots between each pearl.
Haha Krystle gets the last word.
Major shade!
The best part of this is the first 10 seconds when we see the gritty street, the Cartier logo, two more sets of jewels, then the handheld mirror pops up and it is Joan Collins. Hehe. High camp! But, hmmm...Locked up behind glass...the security killed the magic for me a little.
Rolling. She got Alexis on this one.
Oooo..... go on Krystal!
Cartier would never sell pearls strand that are unknotted... the fact that the necklace disintegrate at the end make no sense.
Pearls before swine 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Krystle Got In A GOOD ONE,LOL!!! 😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣😆😂😂😂😂
Perfect fit for that line
The customer staff should’ve had a British accent since HK was a British colony.
They speak Cantonese in Hong Kong not British English (unless they were educated in UK)
@@SwimmerPrince He had an American accent. Not Cantonese.
@@plumeria66 yeah and this was filmed in a Hollywood studio not actually in Hong Kong, and if she had spoken Cantonese Alexis not the audience wouldn't understand
Oh snap!
Det var en väldigt bra scen krystle var väldigt coll tycker jag 😁😁😉😉🌷🌷🥀🥀⚘
the picture reminds me of '' the love Boat''
The shoulder pad 80'z. These people are too old to be BICKERING THE WAY THEY DID
Did they make her pay for it?
🤣
no it was defective vand falsely advertised
Probably not.
Break out the Meow Mix......

Oooooh daaaarling! What a snotty comment! You can't even spell correctly
It was a fun show. And besides wouldn't Mikimoto pearls be more relevant. Such camp; such fun and lots of shade.
Where are you from my friend?
Are you aware that this show was not to be meant for taking too serious?
Well every good bitch fight has to have that element of physical action or unexpected turmoil to feed the formula. Since it was going to be difficult to incorporate Crystle somehow punching Alexis’s lights out at Cartier...they went with a (lame) prop malfunction. 🤷🏻♂️
For that line Kristel deserves a slap from Alexis 😆😆
Don't Get Alexis's Ass WHUPPED,You Know Krystle Don't Play That,LOL!!! 😏🤣😆😂
Real pearls are knotted individually to the strand....... "rolling eyes"
knowing them Chinese, those pearls musta been KNOCK OFFS

What a racist comment, China is amazing. And this is supposed to be Hong Kong, at that time it was a British territory.

How they also manage end up in the same place... in the entire city of Denver. :)
There in Hong Kong
Pearls don’t break like that.
Especially those made by Cartier!
She got saved from a ripoff
My hair's bigger than yours, My earrings are bigger than yours, My shoulder pads are bigger than yours.
So we are to be believe expensive pearls sold with Cartier we’re so poorly latch could break so easily.
The only pearl neckless I ever got was not in a jewel shop. But this is not the platform to talk about that. 😅
Ha Ha! If no one else got that reference, I did!
