How ‘The Gilded Age' Women Use Their Jewelry to Show Power and Status
At the heart of HBO Max's 'The Gilded Age,' the drama unfolds not just in whispered secrets but in the historically inspired jewels adorning characters' necks and wrists. Arguably the series' silent star, the jewelry reflects the intense competition among New York's nouveau riche to outshine one another. The series, which is inspired by New York's elite families from the late 19th century, has provided standout jewelry moments throughout its three seasons, with characters played by Carrie Coon, Taissa Farmiga, Christine Baranski and others dripping in pearls, diamonds, oversize gemstones and layered gold chains. More from WWD Completedworks Puts on a Performance in a London Park With Dianna Agron, Fatima Farheen Mirza Completedworks Breathes Life Into Fall 2024 Show With Dianna Agron, Riz Ahmed Fashion Influencer Karen Wazen Launches Jewelry 'They were not shy to wear their jewelry; this I admired, because women were still held back to be conservative, but this gave way to show power and position of status. Their jewelry was flamboyant and clearly showcased success in society,' jewelry designer Mimi So told WWD. The jewelry, like the characters, takes inspiration from history, as viewers see Farmiga's Gladys Russell often wearing pieces that resemble the vast jewelry collection of Consuelo Vanderbilt, on whom her character is based. Selected by costume designer Kasia Walicka Maimone, the pieces from the show illustrate the typical jewelry from the Victorian era, featuring delicate and intricate compositions and gilded details for effect. 'The design feels dated now, but in its time, it ruled. Diamonds weren't just a girl's best friend — they were her values, her status, her armor. Belle Époque tiaras. Edwardian collars. These pieces didn't whisper wealth but declared it, in carats,' CH Jewelers' executive Victoria H. Lee Castro told WWD. In the fifth episode of Season Three, Lady Sarah (Hattie Morahan) highlights the importance of jewelry at the time, scolding Gladys in front of everyone for choosing to wear diamond stars in her hair instead of a tiara, which ultimately leads to the dismissal of Adelheid (Erin Wilhelmi), who recommended Gladys to wear the piece in the first place. 'Everything is styled to feel opulent and intentional. It's less about exact historical replicas and more about storytelling. We love how the jewelry feels and speaks to the character. These pieces were clearly meant to be passed down as heirlooms and cherished for generations,' Logan Hollowell, designer and founder of Logan Hollowell Jewelry, said. 'That blend of opulence and storytelling will always inspire us.' Some of the show's standout jewelry pieces are also seen during scenes where the characters face each other at gala events, using their accessories and costumes to showcase their power and affluence. A ritual that comes straight from history. New York's Gilded Age marked the ascension of enterprising jewelers who catered to the prosperous families of the city. Among them, a name stands out: Tiffany & Co. Founded in 1837, the company built a reputation for fine craftsmanship and imported gemstones, selling pieces to Vanderbilts, Astors, Whitneys and Havemeyers. It was during the Gilded Age that Tiffany & Co. introduced the engagement ring as it is known today — before 1886, when the company unveiled what's called today the Tiffany Setting, diamond rings were set in bezels. The company also traveled the world during that time, promoting American craftsmanship. At the 1889 Paris Exposition Universelle, Tiffany & Co.'s exhibition was described as 'the most extraordinary collection of jewels ever produced by an American jewelry house,' according to the brand. Designs from that time serve as an inspiration to jewelers until today. Now, the show is introducing them to a new crowd through its characters. The season finale of 'The Gilded Age' Season Three will air on HBO Max on Sunday.

Will The Gilded Age Stage a Crossover With Downton Abbey in Season 4? ‘There's an Opportunity To,' EP Says
With the third season of The Gilded Age ending this Sunday, and the third Downton Abbey movie hitting theaters next month, we couldn't help but wonder… when the heck are these two Julian Fellowes-created franchises finally going to collide? It's a question we've been asking since The Gilded Age first premiered in 2022, but now that Gladys (Taissa Farmiga) has married into British nobility, the time feels more appropriate than ever. Come on, who didn't get Downton vibes from the Duke's house? More from TVLine The Gilded Age Boss Breaks Down Oscar's Tragic Outburst - Does Agnes Know the Truth About John Adams? The Gilded Age Shocker: Morgan Spector Was 'Thrilled' by Episode 7's Jaw-Dropping Ending House of the Dragon Adds Annie Shapero as Alysanne 'Black Aly' Blackwood in Season 3 'Well, obviously there's an opportunity to [stage a crossover], because they are both in England,' Fellowes tells TVLine. 'Things like the shooting season or whatever would incorporate many great houses for all of these families, as they would travel around England. We can bring about a conjunction whenever we wish, really, but we haven't got one planned yet, so we'll have to see.' To be fair, this is a much more encouraging answer than executive producer Gareth Neame gave us when we spoke with him back in The Gilded Age's first season. '[A crossover is] not in the thinking at all,' Neame says. 'It's a separate universe, but they're both fictions set in the 1880s. Downton Abbey, in its own fiction, was definitely there. A younger version of the Maggie Smith character would be living there, I guess. But it's not really planned.' A younger version of Smith's iconic Dowager Countess? Hey, he said it, not us. Wouldn't it be fun, if even as a fleeting cameo, to catch a glimpse of someone from the Crawley family on The Gilded Age? The first season of Downton Abbey began with the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, meaning it takes place less than 30 years after the current season of The Gilded Age, which would put the Countess somewhere in her 40s. Just something to think about. Gilded Age fans, would you like to see the show collide with the world of Downton Abbey, even if it's just a nod? Drop a comment with your thoughts below.

‘The Gilded Age': How The HBO Drama Created A Castle Fit For A New Duchess
Gladys deserves the mother of all castles after the ordeal she went through in New York City. But production didn't need to go to England to find the perfect home for the new Duchess of Buckingham. Two different estates in Newport, R.I. — along with one in Long Island — served as Sidmouth Castle in the episode titled 'A Different World.' To achieve the opening shot, however, director Deborah Kampmeier relied on an actual pond in England to project the image of Gladys (Taissa Farmiga) and Hector (Ben Lamb) riding a carriage through the estate grounds. More from Deadline 'The Gilded Age' Courts Another Series High Audience With Season 3 Wedding Episode Carrie Coon Talks Emmy Nomination, Future Of 'The Gilded Age' & Whether She'd Return For 'The White Lotus' Season 4 Emmys 2025: Where's My Show? Why Some Of Your Favorites Won't Be Nominated This Year 'We put the visual effect of the carriage in upside down in the water, and then the wide shot of it moving through the countryside. That's England,' said Kampmeier. 'And then as we approach the castle, that is an approach to an estate in Newport. We brought in background actors to converge upon the carriage, and then a big crane goes up and over. We actually built onto what was already there in our visual effects. That's one piece of the puzzle.' The entrance and several of the castle rooms featured in the episode are from the Newport estates, while the sitting room and long hallways are from a mansion in Long Island. 'It is a collage that we use to create this epic castle feeling of a castle, using what we had available to us,' the director said. 'We've used up pretty much every mansion in Newport.' While Gladys is certainly accustomed to living in a large house, her new one has to feel to feel different — and so much worse. 'It was important to feel like she's walking into a very cold, very epic space in which she feels isolated and alone,' said Kampmeier. 'We decided to keep it quite gray, to reflect both a feeling of England since we were not in England and to reflect a feeling of that location as well as the inner life of Gladys … just this gray, isolated, lost girl who's really like a fish out of water.' Directing for The Gilded Age is 'an extravagant experience,' adds Kampmeier, who also helmed episode 2 and the upcoming episode 6. 'This is a show where it's very luxurious to be able to create a really epic shot that is going to stay in the final cut because the audience is asking for it rather than jumping right to a closeup,' said Kampmeier, whose other credits include Outer Range, Star Trek: Picard, FBI: International and Tales of the Walking Dead.

‘The Gilded Age' Star Taissa Farmiga Explains Why Gladys Agrees to Marry the Duke of Buckingham: 'She Was Just Sick of Feeling Sh*tty'
The Gilded Age Season 3 Episode 3 'Love is Never Easy' ends in turmoil for young Gladys Russell (Taissa Farmiga). Sure, the latest episode of the HBO hit ends with the reveal of the heiress's gorgeous portrait by real life painter John Singer Sargent (Bobby Steggert), but it also ends with Gladys sadly accepting her fate. **Spoilers for Season 3 Episode 3 'Love is Never Easy,' now streaming on MAX** At the end of The Gilded Age Season 3 Episode 3, Gladys Russell agrees to marry the Duke of Buckingham (Ben Lamb). After years of watching Gladys chafe against her mother Bertha's (Carrie Coon) schemes, pining after sweet boys like Billy Carlton (Matt Walker), and even securing the support of her father (Morgan Spector) to ensure she'll get a love match, our girl finally folds. But why? 'I think, at the end of the day, it was just the pressure of everybody,' The Gilded Age star Taissa Farmiga told DECIDER. 'I think she was dealing with the heartbreak of Billy. She's dealing with the fear of the future because she feels like she's being forced into a future she's not choosing,' she added. 'There's a numbness that comes with that and you can't make a decision when you're in such an emotionally depleted place, I think. Because there was so much pressure. You have to choose.' 'She just sort of doesn't want the stress anymore?' Farmiga wondered aloud. Of course, for much of The Gilded Age Season 3 Episode 3 'Love is Never Easy,' it seems as though Gladys has actually avoided the Duke. The episode picks up where last week's left off, with the Duke's lawyer hashing out a marriage contract with George Russell. Bertha has apparently promised the English noble a huge chuck of her robber baron husband's fortune and George is not happy about that. Eventually, the Duke leaves, hoping to find an heiress elsewhere. Gladys hopes that maybe she will be reunited with Billy Carlton, but it's not to be. Ultimately, no one in New York City has the kind of money George Russell has. That means the Duke circles back to 61st Street, willing to compromise with the railroad tycoon. In an interesting twist, Gladys ultimately gets a chance to agree to the match herself. She gets a small, private audience with Hector, as the Duke is actually named. While it's hardly the stuff of romance novels or happily ever afters, Farmiga still called it a 'beautiful moment.' 'There's a brief moment of connection with her and the Duke. You know, she thinks him for not being fake,' Farmiga said. 'So I think maybe it's like a tiny little sparkle of a lightning bug in the dark. It's kind of like a light guiding you.' 'But I really think that she was just sick of feeling shitty. So she's like, 'Let's just move on.'' The Gilded Age Season 3 Episode 3 'Love is Never Easy' ends with the Duke and Gladys announcing their engagement in front of all the society heads assembled to view the new painting. Bertha gets her victory lap, but the moment of triumph is undercut by a perfect moment of soap opera drama. Feeling the pressure close in on her, Gladys begins fiddling with her long string of pearls. The necklace snaps and soon white beads are scattering like marbles on the floor. This ominous ending teases that although Gladys has agreed to the engagement, getting her down the aisle to the actual marriage ceremony might be a different battle for Bertha. returns next Sunday, July 13 at 9 PM ET on HBO and MAX.
