The glamour of Hollywood on show in Museum of Style Icons

Des O’Sullivan admires the treasure trove of big-screen jewellery which has just opened in Newbridge.

The Newbridge Silverware Museum of Style Icons has pulled off another coup with a preview of iconic items from the famous costume jeweller, Joseff of Hollywood, to be sold by Julien’s Auctions of Hollywood next November.

From the necklace worn by Vivien Leigh to the one-of-a-kind cigar case used by Clark Gable in Gone With the Wind (1939), the museum will display a range of pieces in its Co Kildare premises until May 14.
