Alice Temperley on Her Love of Indian Jewels | Christie's
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Fashion designer Alice Temperley discusses the eclectic influences behind her romantic, whimsical designs, and shares her thoughts on treasures from the Maharajas & Mughal Magnificence collection.
British fashion designer Alice Temperley is best known for her designs that incorporate luxurious fabrics, elegant embroidery, detailed printed patterns and hand finishes. Since launching Temperley London from a hotel bedroom in 2000, she has dressed celebrities ranging from Demi Moore to Kate Moss. Now stocked in 37 countries, and with a six-floor flagship store in Mayfair, Temperley London has become a mainstay of the fashion scene.
The designer can trace her interest in textile and jewellery design back to her bohemian childhood in Somerset. ‘My nickname is Magpie,’ Temperley reveals in our video, ‘because I was always collecting jewellery.’
The appreciation of fine jewels is a family affair, it transpires: ‘The whole family has always really loved dressing up and wearing head pieces and costume jewellery. My grandmother used to have lots of amazing buckles and jewels, as well as a very large collection of beautiful lace that once belonged to Queen Victoria.’

I love Indian jewelry - some of the most beautiful pieces in the world
One of the most important Indian Jewels that were stolen by england currently sits on the british Crown.
@Jason Bellini its a Spoil of war, it was not stolen but given as a sign of submission by the defeated maharaja. And the koh-i-noor is not on the Imperial State Crown But Queen Mary’s circlet.
Yusra Ilyas
😂😘lmfao those who have no leg to stand on result to name calling. And I don’t personally find bitch to be denigrating, So :P also you’ll find it serves you much better to learn how to thrash someone in an argument with intelligent conversation. The written above makes you seem deranged.
And I’m not “justifying” anything, nothing needs to be justified. I am Simply stating legal and political fact. You wanna blame someone, blame the mughal maharaja who ceded it. No one demanded that specific diamond. He chose to give it up in deference to Queen Victoria during the treaty of Lahore. Funny how no one gets upset about how the Darya-I-Noor diamond had been ceded by Iran from India the exact same way. Except when Nader Shah gave the Indian crown back to the Mughal emperor he stole the entire Indian Treasury not just a handful of stones. Or how about the Orlov diamond which again was stolen by a Frenchman from a hindu temple and then sold to the Russian Count Orlov who gave it to Catherine the Great. It’s now on display at the Kremlin. Funny how the only thing that’s ever brought up are the British Crown Jewels. It’s almost like it’s not actually about the rock. How about crack a history book and look at records of the time from both sides. Ofcourse that would mean you’d have to read and not just be some Fake Woke protester, who clearly doesn’t know the facts, demanding something that was literally given away in 1849 due to military defeat. Therefore a spoil of war.
Although, if it was about anything other than Hate of the British all of the aforementioned would be bitched about just as much as the Koh-I-Noor. But it’s not about “retrieving history” or “righting wrongs” you just hate the U.K. and that’s fine by stop lying and saying it’s about a diamond that was never “stolen”.
Jason Bellini they stole tea from India too, not just the jewels
Stolen? More like plundered fair and square. Winner takes all.
@@LaDivinaLover My dear, the British, specifically that damn Churchill is responsible directly for the death of 4.5 Million Bengalis in India. He literally induced a famine and asked why hasn't Gandhi died yet. I am simply stating a political fact. I don't see why he is celebrated because, to the families of those millions, he was no better than Hitler. I guess you can understand why one would be hateful if not despise the British.
Apart from 4.5 million Bengalis, millions of Indians were raped, tortured and made slaves. The effects of those horrors are still felt to this day. Forget India, look at any other colony of the British, the story is the same. You have diamonds that are "spoils of war", but guess what you also have blood on your hands.
Let us not forget what an inglorious empire it was.
And let me tell you, we do not hate the UK, you guys hate yourself enough, so much so that you have voted to become a tiny set of islands in the middle of no where.
She is holding history in her hand
Why so much hate when all she’s doing is appreciating Indian history and culture ?
e c for because people now know the greed hiding behind those "appreciation" .
suga got no sugar look who’s projecting
Because they stole it from us. What we could have appreciated in our own country, like me who is a jewellery designer; now has to see such videos to "appreciate" my own heritage.
Kuhoo Not Kuhu it’s history how about let it go. People appreciate Indian culture and history, be happy and let’s appreciate this beauty together! (I’m not British)
Anjana Reddy it’s not like she stole it herself! It happened in the past, history has seen FAR more cruel things than the stealing of a bloody stone. Many artefacts original from a certain country ended up in museums in another country, and not just through colonialism. Countries have been conquered and exploited all the time, history is not just my friend. But these people who study them and make them known to the world bear absolutely no guilt, stop attacking them and appreciate beauty. Beauty has no borders or nation.
Quite interesting: what this Persian poem does say… Overwhelming and illustriously elegant jewelry. The irresistible power of minuteness!
My two cents: it is carved in a Persian calligraphy style called Nastaliq and it is written backward so it can be used as a stamp and other form of authentication
@Ankur Dey Oh, Yes! I do remember!!! When I traveled the widths and depths Mother India some jewelry pieces on display were truly remarkable! Although, not being the jeweler myself I couldn't evaluate theirs quality. But they looked flabbergastingly amazing 🐳Please, have a nice Sunday 🌻
@Ankur Dey Good Morning! I am from Tula, the Russian Federation. Currently live and reside, sojourn here... And I do too have infatuation and passion for Jewelry. Remember, when I was little I liked to view, hold and play with Mama's and Grandma's jewelry, precious and not so precious items.
...It's like one of the Agatha Christie's stories: some items started disappearing from my apartment again. Like three minute screw drivers which I received as the present at the Rabbi Naftali Cuckier seminar. Several, quite a few years ago... I simply can't find them anywhere. My name is Petr Frizen and my contact numbers are:
frizenpetr@gmail.com
Tel: +7-915-6816904
If You write something about the jewelry art, please, if possible, let me read. Have a nice day! With the best regards, Petr
@Ankur Dey Great to hear from You, Sumon. I entered You as the contact. Have a nice journey ⛷Bon voyage 🖼
Nothing happened that can say east meets west....its rather west robs east.....
And yet you’re speaking English on a device that Anglo-Americans invented.
What the maharajas selling the jewels to westerners is robbing? What
@jim jam... Why would maharajas sell their jewellery... Learn your history right
How? 🙄🤦
@@cecilyerker what this have to do with the topic 🤦
Thankyou for opening my heart to the beauty of Indian Jewels
And where is her own jewelry?
Exactly
What do you mean?
Aelin White the jewels were stolen
omg! thts impeccable genius craftsmanship not to be found anywhere in todays day
The Emerald piece is my favorite but maybe it’s because I love that shade of green. The diamond necklace too is not bad but it looks like it would be so heavy on the neck. The emerald piece would look lovely on a sleek retro glam gown at the Oscars or red carpet event. Those wedding dress are so beautiful, the embroidery is not only inspired by Indian culture but looks like something from the 1920s.
If u need gold plated emerald of mughal era.। Pls contact me
The merald piece is a sarpech and is worn only by men on their turbans during wedding pr other processions.
What does the key used to open?
would love to know too - perhaps a symbolic key?
Somptueuse joaillerie. C'est tout. Les bijoux anciens de familles royales indiennes. Sont fabuleux. Merci beaucoup.
Beautiful Indian gems,some set in to jewellery pieces in Europe.
Taken from our Kings and Queens,during 5he colonial era.
So we can do it again.
Make beautiful things again,in India instead of crying and shouting.
Sudhir Chopde they shit in their own sacred river, I don't think in a place like that these jewels should ever be kept
yes let us ask our diamond mines to create more kohinoor isn't it?
All i will say is i agree with the top comments
Nice emerald color blouse, no need to gild the lily, but yes India has beautiful jewels. They are still selling jewels.
They appreciate it so much that they’ll do anything to get it… killing and stealing included
Who is "they"?
You stole India's jewelry during colonisation, the stolen jewels are still shamlessely worn by your queen on her crown. Give back what doesn't belong to you!
Emerald shut up
She didn’t go anything
@@Pk-wu9tl you shut up
How about no. If you don’t want your shit conquered and your jewelry taken as spoils of war, get a smarter and better army with better weapons. Otherwise stop being a sore loser and shut the fuck up.
@@cecilyerker we, the people, are coming for you and your thieving slave traders. You think being smart is going to save you, yet you lack intellect and humility and the knowledges you believe are power, are the same evidences to prove your inability to govern yourselves let alone anyone else. Bill Gates couldn't relieve computer maleware let alone covid, so take your own advice, and get the fuq outta here.
Love India so much
Really really beautiful
Yes she is
The turban piece !
Those green eyes...I’m in love....
So true. So impressive. Unique. Colors. Elegance😇🙏💛🤘🖐🙌👆💪🌍😍
Yu people looted indian jewels and show the love to them
Some great pieces.
Quite a delicate subject here.. But I'm going to just say that the indigenous nations (e.g the Aboriginal people of Australia, Indians of the Northern Americas and the Maori of Aotearoa) aren't as ignorant as they were 100 plus years ago, they are learning to value the Lands rather than the resources being taken for granted. Let's not focus on the crown jewels but the destruction of many people and cultures that once existed where India now is located, the theft of identity and a place to call home is the what colonisation did. At least India is a land of free (maybe a little lost??) people. New Zealand, I am praying, is yet to be liberated but it is in the process. Kaitiakitanga or the willingness to maintain and sustain a healthy earth is however, paramount priority. Peace.
The damage colonisation does is irreversible. Thank you
😂😂 sure
So they were ignorant about the value of their cultures before? Is that why “indigenous nations” struggled to keep their freedom?
Another video of Thieves glorifying their loot.
Kanika Chaudhary this collection was bought by Qatari royal family. They are now selling a portion of the collection. Nobody fucking stole anything. If anything given the level of opulence and splendor the Maharajas enjoyed at the expense of vast swaths of Indians, I find it interesting that you would defend such an exploitative system.
Kanika Chaudhary shut up she’s not a thief lol
Aneesa Shah you’re a really ignorant person. What your comment basically equates too is “Rape is bad, but so much better to have my brother rape me, then some stranger. That would be much worse.” Just utterly asinine. And secondly as I stated before the jewels were legally BOUGHT by the Qatari Royal family - you know that very wealthy family that rules Qatar. Do you think these people would be buying stolen fucking jewels??? Their collection is massive - and they are selling a small portion of the jewels. Sotheby’s as an institution always provides the provenance of each item they sell. Had these pieces been looted from India, there would have been a huge issue around this, which more than likely would have involved the Indian government. So before you start vomiting garbage, get your facts straight!
Sneha I’m not part of the fucking problem - I’m neither European or English. We’re talking about this specific jewelry. If you want to start ranting and raving like a fucking lunatic about a video that has NOTHING to do with what you’re talking about - please go ahead and do so. I have no time for idiots.
So many salty Indians who are still pissed that the British so easily colonized them lol 😂 it's not even like it was that hard either
So what does the key open?
the peacock wowww
Oh honey! of course you do love it. Otherwise, why would it had be stolen at the first place .
Anybody from Hyderabad?? !!
Punjab?
Assam
yes?
Yesss
Everyone is watching the jewelry but i am watching this lady😃Wish to give you my best emerald to this hot lady😃
Calling a lady hot actually sounds insulting to me.
What a beautiful woman
Stunning.
One of the most imp and precious stone diamond of India is in England as they robbed from us in their princess crown.....ex princess
Couldn’t the lady comb her hair?
It called beach look. It's good on her I think.
Britain killed 4 million Indians in Bengal in 1943 by imposing a famine
Amazing❤
아주 아릉답고 멋찐 보석들 입니다~~
Tired of all the bitterness in the comments. I'm Indian too but we have to take RESPONSIBILITY for our history. This is what happens when you lose battles throughout history. You have to surrender stuff: land, jewels, riches, etc. At least there weren't mass executions and rapes and ethnic cleansing like the Serbs did to Bosnians recently. The maharajas didn't put up a good enough fight and they were all divided. Even now in India, the politics are all about creating division.
Jallianwallah bagh?? Bengal famine?? These are atleast everyone knew!!
Wow nice jewellery
Beautyful my favourit
Beatifull gem's & diamond.
👍
Britain took $45 Trillion from India over 200 years of rule
And now they’re clearly LOSING big time to India 🇮🇳❤ as well 😅🇬🇧👎🤪🥹💪🤨🦾😂🤛🏻🤣💯🖕🏼😻🙌🏻😽🫡😨🤦♂️ Life is beautiful, from God (Allah)
Breathe 🧘🏻 🧘♀️ 🧘♂️ and take it all in, such beauty exists!!!! Alhumdulilah 🙏🏼🙌🏻😇💪🇮🇳🦾🧐🇺🇸👁️🗣️👣🤑🤑🤖👏🧐🧐😟
It's all good passion ,now indulge yourself.
This video is to enjoy and admire the jewelry, not to correct the wrongs of history. If you can’t do that, please watch another channel
👏👏👏
Let's see what professionals has to say in comment section 😜
Wow,beautiful.. 👍
Alice in Wonderland.
Woooooww good and beatifull
Indian-Persian Mix Style Mostly.
Ghanta persian style
So she loves stolen artifacts.
😁
Nizam of Hyderabad was indeed the richest man in the world!!!
no.you are wrong
Yes he was a rich man, bit he also was a miser.
sab churaate hai saale
And who is the woman for any one to consider her opinion means anything. Blah blah sge could be anyone off the street for all we know
Yah Sara Bharat ka saman
It is a part of history and this is how it worked in the past
You win a battle and you get all the money and gems
If anyone should be blamed then that should be the indian maharajas
Stop being so salty
The ring. Key
Indians will buy it back. 🙂soon at auctions. Nd will be in India.
Wonderful 👄
India Ko Lauta do
Why that ring is with her it belongs to asia
Because you idiots sold it for money!
@@cecilyerker aww we didn't sold but you looted from us.
Great video. But “majaraja”?
Muito lindas jóias
que the 'these belong in India' and other faux outrage of Imperialism comments
Sab kai loo India ka
Honey the least you could do is have your hair brushed....very unprofessional
Cathy Baldry why? Why does it bother you so much? Her hair literally has not relevance to anything she’s saying. Go eat a snickers.
Beach look. And perhaps afraid of critique if she looks too decent.
Beautiful fabulous Juwlery There's a lot of hatred towards Britain in the comments if are Queen have some of the Juwlery she was given it by India.
@daphnenqpier1102 NOPE.. Don't whitewash our history because you were not told of yours
You're appreciation is not appreciated. Give back all the stolen treasured of India.
Each time jewelry pieces from india comes out for auction - there's bound to be someone accused it to be stolen from india - Yep we heard thousands of times and really bored to hear it
such an ignorant twat!
good grief!
Its still the truth. They stole it.
@@Kuhoochandra not all of the ones that are featured in this video. Most of these were made by Cartier for nawabs and maharajas, but when most of them started going bankrupt, they sold these off. I agree there are stolen things that originally belonged to India, but most of the ones in this video aren't. Also, that was history. Maybe don't blame the present for it
I gifted my mom necklace you can buy Mustang with that
Disgusting projection of greed
Miss. MACOM IS, WAS MY DAUGHTER. A am is KING NACHULA WIFE HEART. NOT NOW YET HOW DEEP IS IT. BUT KING NACHULA IS THE CROWN HUSBAND OF MINE AS QUEEN ATHENA.
THE REAL TRUTH OF THIS MUGHALS JEWELRY!
Where the British had left India, they stole the jewellry of some Mughal emperors who stole it from there, it is the same jewelry and mughal items.
By the way, you can look into the history and see what you will find there.
Thieves
The slander that you're doing is more of an offense.
