Amethyst Rose Quartz Heart Necklace and Earrings 14 Karat Gold Ms. Daves Estate

About the Item

This is an absolutely stunning Amethyst and Rose Quartz Heart Motif Necklace and Earring Set in 14 Karat Yellow Gold. The jewels are from the estate of Hollywood Legend Mary Lou Daves and we have a photo of Ms. Daves wearing them. Ms. Daves' jewelry exemplified her exquisite taste. Her jewels were unique, dramatic and elegant and most were the gift of her beloved husband, the legendary Hollywood director Delmer Daves. Ms. Daves explored the concept of Love throughout her life exemplified by her book, "Lovers: 100 Works of Art Celebrating Romantic Love...", and these romantic jewels are another example of her enduring expression of love. The necklace is composed of natural Amethyst and Rose Quartz gems carved into hearts. The combination of the purple amethyst gems and the rose quartz is absolutely exquisite. The design of the necklace is stunning as the cascading bib of heart shaped gems plays beautifully around the neck. The necklace is 14 Karat Yellow Gold and has a wonderful barrel clasp. The necklace is complemented by the fabulous Amethyst Heart Earrings. The large amethyst hearts have magnificent color and their size is absolutely fabulous. The earrings hanging from the ear are a pure statement of love. When combined with the dramatic hearts around the neck the combination is truly unmatched. Provenance: The heart motif necklace and earrings are from the Bel Air estate of Delmer and Mary Lou Daves where a who's who of Hollywood legends (Cole Porter entertained guests at the piano) were entertained. Their love story began on the set of the 1938 film, "Professor Beware." As a successful contract writer for Warner Bros., Delmer Daves wrote the screenplay and wanted to visit the set to see how things were going. 19-year-old, Mary Lawrence was cast as the Bride. He was instantly smitten. "So you're playing the bride? I wish you would marry me," he quipped. "I shall answer you with the same spirit you asked me. Of course I will be yours forever." The two were married for 39 years, had three children and a lifetime of adventures. His career spanned 40 years during which he wrote and/or directed 80 movies including: Love Affair (1939), Destination Tokyo (1943) , Hollywood Canteen (1944), Dark Passage (1947), Broken Arrow (1950), Birds of Paradise (1951), The Last Wagon (1956), An Affair to Remember (1957), 3:10 to Yuma (1957), Cowboy (1958), A Summer Place (1959), The Hanging Tree (1959) He was a genius, renaissance man, student and tinkerer. She had an enduring acting career in film and television and became an author in her later years rallying her famous friends to share their thoughts on famous art works in, "Lovers: 100 Works of Art Celebrating Romantic Love..."
