Even 30 years after her death, the name Babe Paley still conjures a paragon of best-dressed womanhood whose chic stemmed from an unwavering desire and ability to make Atlas toggle necklace she wore her own, whether a couture gown, an off-the-rack dress, or an emerald parure. Less known is that Barbara Cushing Mortimer Paley was also a paragon of grace and thoughtfulness with a great gift for friendship. Still, it meant quite a lot to be admitted to her inner circle.

That is where the master jeweler Fulco di Verdura found himself for the almost four decades following their first meeting, in the late 1930s. Not only were they friends and confidants but she became his muse. This month, his namesake company brings out a line of a dozen designs inspired by and made Folded heart pendant for Paley, pieces never before put into wider production. Classic and easy to wear and suited to leaner times they include Pebble bracelets in a variety of stones; a rope-link watch, bracelet, and necklace; and pearl torsade bracelets and earrings.

Verdura himself was a magnet to a long line of glamorous women, from Coco Chanel to Greta Garbo to Marella Agnelli. But none had as special a place in his heart as the one he called the beautiful darling, borrowing the pet name Paley’s Paloma’s Tenderness Heart pendant had given her. When they met, she was a VOGUE fashion editor soon to be married to Stanley Grafton Mortimer, Jr., a blue-blooded heir to the Standard Oil fortune; he was an expatriate Sicilian aristocrat turned jeweler with a heart of gold and tongue of quicksilver, according to Cecil Beaton.

When she married her second husband, CBS founder Bill Paley, Verdura became a fixture at their various homes and on their travels. In New York, the Paleys were often part of Elsa Peretti Butterfly pendant glittering international assemblage at dinners at Verdura’s Manhattan apartment, where the menu was invariably a big bowl of spaghetti with clam sauce, whipped up by the host himself.

Verdura was hardly to the stove top born. But by the time he reached his 20s, the family fortunes were on a sharp downturn. In 1923, he inherited his father’s ducal title and a sum so insignificant that some sort of vocation would be required. Setting off for Paris with the idea of becoming a painter, he found himself diverted when Cole Porter introduced him to Mlle Chanel. She hired him as a fabric designer and later as her boutique jewelry designer after he wrought magic when she asked him to Elsa Peretti Open Wave pendant pieces given to her by various wealthy lovers.

By 1934, he had blown what was left of his inheritance on a grand costume ball and set off for America, settling first in Hollywood and then New York. Seventy years ago, he opened his Fifth Avenue showroom with the backing of Porter and Vincent Astor (soon to become Babe’s sister Minnie’s first husband). High society clamored for Verdura’s creations. (All clamorers were not appreciated equally. When a client he disliked asked to see him, he would hide in his office, instructing the hapless staff to tell her I died. )

Which is why Lemarié is not just about feathers anymore. While the house works with every major fashion name, and the atelier did produce a black-feather fan for Tiffany 1837 Ring-Moscou, the heart of its contribution for the collection revolved around flowers – make that one flower, the camellia, in myriad variations.

As the producer of Chanel’s signature camellia, Lemarié turns out some 20,000 pieces annually, in tweed, clear acetate, cashmere and silk chiffon. Like a florist, each artisan is attached to her creation and realizes the piece from beginning to end, from cutting the petals to moulding them with heated tools, sewing, gluing and fashioning the whole. Paris-Moscou variations included camellias in two-tone painted organza, crimped blackand-white leather, black felt with Desrues jewels and entire Tiffany Cushion ring bouquets. The crushed-bouquet idea was a new twist for the atelier "We did one crushed bouquet based on a photocopy and showed it to the studio," explains Lartigue, adding that two dresses had 20 such bouquets.

Still, the Lemarié contribution did not stop with the flowers. From portraits of Russian aristocrats comes inspiration for lavalieres and bows. Cloche hats by Michel, based on a photo of Elsa Peretti Sevillana ring that Coco herself wore in the ’20s, are covered with three feet of hand-fringed silk chiffon. This was a case of fashion imitating film, since it was created for Mouglalis in her role as Coco Chanel. Lemarié used hand-fringed chiffon to replicate the appearance of fur seen in the period photo and, once again, the studio loved it Several wound up in the collection. Laughs Lartigue, "One of the things we appreciate enormously about working with Mr. Lagerfeld is that, when he loves something, he puts it everywhere!" Who knows what will capture Lagerfeld’s fancy on his next Elsa Peretti Open Heart ring d’Art collaboration to Shanghai. A trip, the Kaiser that Coco never made.

Borrowing diamonds from the 77-year-old company is, obviously, the starriest of star treatments, which began with the 1944 Oscars, when Jennifer Jones, best actress winner for The Song of Bernadette, inaugurated the practice. Last year, Claire Danes, Anne Hathaway, Angelina Jolie and Leighton Meester were among the luminaries who made a trip to Harry’s. The jeweler agreed to gussy me up as well for the New York première of Beyoncé’s movie Cadillac Records.

Colgan features some fashionable boutiques that opened recently in Minnesota. One of these is the OPM located at Grand Way in St. Louis Park MN. Susan Sun and Isaac Broberg’s boutique is worth a jaunt off the stiletto-beaten path. The offerings are always on-trend–think brightly dyed silks by Catherine Malandrino, slouchy dresses by Elsa Peretti Bean necklace Randall, and buttery leather handbags courtesy of Valentino. In addition to ready-to-wear, OPM also offers a robust selection of accessories. Find handbags by Mulberry, Rebecca Minkoff, and Valentino and jewelry (including cocktail rings and statement necklaces) by Andrew Hamilton Crawford and Rox by Robyne Robinson.

Questioned about the appropriateness of opulence in such hard times, Lagerfeld replied, "It may appear difficult, but there [are] enough people who still have quite a lot Tiffany Notes Pendant money. And this collection will be in the shops six months from now, so the world may be, thanks to Mr. Obama and a few other ones, OK again. I think this was a cleaning that was needed in the world, and I see it as a healthy thing." Spoken like a true czar.

SHOE CONFIDENTIAL

The Massaro atelier may look unassuming from the outside since it’s located off of a tiny street close to rue Cambon but, inside, it’s a shoe lover’s nirvana Since 1894, this firm has been catering to a private clientele that shops by appointment-only. On the mantel sits a white satin ballerina shoe, mounted on a high, slim Tiffany 1837 Circles Pendant wedge – a recent commission from a Japanese customer. Two days before the Paris-Moscou collection, workers are bent over the last pairs to leave the atelier for final fittings: a vertiginous red velvet heel trimmed with tiny pearls and perched on an "orthodox heel" – the bottler’s rendition of Byzantine onion domes, but on a stiletto.

Creating shoes for Paris-Moscou demands not only lightning reactivity – sketches are delivered sporadically – but also a level of collaboration between Chanel Maisons d’Art that is not Tiffany box lock pendant required. On one bejeweled model sits the imperial eagle; on another, tiny chains follow the fluting in the carved heel. These elements were created by Massaro’s sister house, Desrues. After all, these are not "just" shoes, they are jewels.

When it comes to regular commis- sions, it takes Massaro about 40 hours of handiwork to create a regular pair of shoes. For Paris-Moscou, house artisans Paloma’s Zellige earrings seven models – and 70 pairs in all – some 2,000 hours of work in a matter of six weeks. In addi- tion to the orthodox heels were others in painted resin inspired by Russian church steeples in Red Square or the curve of the legs of period furniture.

"These heels are like sculptures, so in a sense, we got to play ‘antiquaires’ [antique dealers]," laughs managing director Philippe Atienza, who knows by heart the challenges faced by the atelier since he started his career as a shoemaker himself. "It pushed us in a new direction."

THE FASHIONABLE FLOCK

Stepping off the rue du Faubourg St-Denis into the Lemarié atelier is like entering Zola’s cabinet of curiosities. Tall glass-front drawers are stuffed with colourful feathers and two souvenir taxidermied birds. Sophie Lartigue, production manager exclusively for Chanel, lifts a bird of paradise, "the Rolls-Royce of birds," from its feathered nest It is Atlas drop earrings years old, yet its plumage remains a spectacular spectrum of iridescent green, blue and purple. Other feathers – from peacocks to turkeys – fill boxes that are piled up to the ceiling Some of these specimens, such as the bird of paradise, are now protected, so finding feathers is an increasingly tricky business.

Presented in Paris, the annual Métiers d’Art collection (this year titled Paris-Moscou) showcased the technical virtuosity of traditional Parisian ateliers acquired by Chanel since 2002. Tiffany 1837 Double cross pendant show featured the house’s grand stable of couture contributors, namely Atelier Lesage (embroidery), Lemarié (feathers and flowers), Desrues (costume jewelry), Michel (millinery) and Massaro (custom shoes).

The collection had Lagerfeld dipping his daintily booted toe beyond his Slavic fancies and transplanted into the vast rivers of Russian history. From folklore to irulitary influences to imperial opulence to constructivist-inspired patterns, his designs encompassed the finest style from Russia

The point of departure, however, Double heart pendant the screening of a grainy 11-minute silent film directed by Lagerfeld, who opted to pluck a cast of models, muses and seamstresses from his own world. Transporting the audience to the days of Les Années folles (French for "the Roaring ’2Os") and Gabrielle Chanel’s fascination with Russian aristocracy, the film focused on the illfated czar’s cousin, the Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich, played by model Brad Kroenig.

A select guest list of 175 – including Princess Caroline of Monaco and actors Diane Kruger and Anna Mouglalis (the house muse who also stars in next spring’s film Coco Chanel Double square pendant Stravinsky) – packed into the bijou Théâtre le Ranelagh in the 16Ui arrondissement of Paris for a spectacle that soared several tiers above ready-to-wear. It was a rhapsody of detail as extravagant as die finest beluga caviar. From the opulent headdresses crafted by Japanese wizard Kamo to the upturned "onion dome" custom footwear, the show was a Russian revival that deemed to trump all Russian revivals. The crowning touch? The Return to Tiffany Double Heart Pendant top models, from Sasha to Viada, took to the runway proudly wearing motifs from Russia On some pieces, extravagant embroidery in silver, crystals and pearls required no less than 300 hours of work.

"Without naming names, we’ve seen a lot of ‘Russian collections,’ " says Aliona Doletskaya, editor-in-chief of Russian Vogue. "But I don’t think anyone has managed to Frank Gehry Fish Pendant period, social classes, the military insignia, the techniques, the aristocratic material – like white astrakhan, Byzantine jewelry and constructivism with amazing knowledge and also an amazingly subtle sense of humour. There’s a lovely lightness [about the collection]; it’s almost like a game."

Upon closer examination, there were plenty of reallife clothes there for recession-proof shoppers, such as beautifully cut tweed suits and shimmering gold knit column dresses. After all, with dreary financial headlines warning Russian oligarchs that they would soon see their massive fortunes crumble, the credit crisis was freshly top of mind.

Well, maybe. Or perhaps I’ll channel my inner Sara Murphy and wow my ferrymates with Lanvin’s classic grosgrain-ribbon-and-pearl extravaganza thrown down my back, so my necklace and I can worship the sun as we glide across the Great South Bay.

Fourmont features Return to Tiffany bead bracelet Choi, a fashion designer and entrepreneur. Soo’s deep-seated love of detail led her to Belgian designs, where quirky, cerebral touches rule. She channeled her love of fashion into a design degree at Columbia College Chicago. In Chicago, she began selling her work–multilayered necklaces strung with chains and beads–to stores like Hejfina. She also vowed audiences in 2007 with her sophisticated fashion collection for Gen Art in Chicago.

Without naming names, we’ve seen a lot of ‘Russian collections,’ " says Aliona Doletskaya, editor-in-chief of Russian Vogue. "But I don’t think anyone has managed to mix period, social classes, the Return to Tiffany heart lock charm and bracelet insignia, the techniques, the aristocratic material – like white astrakhan, Byzantine jewelry and constructivism with amazing knowledge and also an amazingly subtle sense of humour. There’s a lovely lightness [about the collection]; it’s almost like a game."

Karl Lagerfeld must have been a Russian czar in a past life. Besides his deep appreciation of Fabergé eggs, his love of Byzantine jewelry and the occasional Elsa Peretti Round Bracelet for a good bowl of borscht, further evidence of the Kaiser’s previous incarnation as a 17th-century Romanov can be seen on the catwalk. Consider Chanel’s 2009 pre-fall collection as hard proof on the matter – its highly embellished designs look as though Lagerfeld raided (and upgraded) Catherine the Great’s closets.

When he sees a sunset, to him it’s something beatific. Well, we know it’s just the smog that makes it as red as that. The rent boy trying to pick him up outside the liquor store.

MONTAGNE: The sheer beauty of Elsa Peretti Sevillana lariatlariat house, the setting, the sort of immaculate taste that permeates this movie, that’s very much Tom Ford, I imagine.

Mr. FIRTH: Well, it is. But Elsa also – I think it’s critical to the George of our film. If he doesn’t achieve this sort of fastidiously perfect exterior, he’ll fall apart. It’s as if he’s hanging on by his tie pin or his cuff links, that the only way to stop the chaos inside him is to put on this kind of body armor of external perfection and elegance.

I think that the way he dresses and the way that he lays out his burial clothes and everything else on his desk is a sign of desperation and neurosis. In fact, when Tom was laying out the desk – and yes, it does make, it does look a bit like I Love You Lock charm necklace out of a Tom Ford showroom – he placed the tie, he placed the cuff links. He did all the rest of it. And then when I – he gave me the note that says please tie in a Windsor knot. Tom actually said to me – here’s the sickest thing of all. You know, he was quite well aware that this came from some very deep, disturbed place in George that he needed all of his so badly.

MONTAGNE: So it would seem to be playing, though, to a strength of yours, and that’s that you’re finding emotion within a character who mostly fights emotions.

Mr. FIRTH: Yes. I’m not – I mean, I think most people operate like that whether they’re reserved Englishmen or not. I mean, I know there are some people who are more Paloma Picasso Loving Heart lariat than others. I’m not an especially demonstrative actor. I don’t have a particular love of demonstrative acting.

I have always been more interested in what’s going on behind the eyes in other actors. I think it’s also true – I mean, when you – when one has experienced the loss, or you encounter somebody who’s experienced a loss, unless you encounter them at a particularly terrible moment in the process, they’re usually not in a state of hysterical misery. They’re usually functional, articulate up to a point, at least, and they’re operating amongst their fellow human beings.

It’s something – there’s something actually Elsa Starfish heartbreaking about that, the fact that we endure and that we go on and that we interact in such an apparently normal way when our world is falling apart. But I think it’s common to a great, great number of people. I actually think it speaks to a lot of us that no matter what condition we’re in, we do somehow function with the rest of the human race.

MONTAGNE: Colin Firth joined us from our studio in London. Welcome to the program.

Mr. FIRTH: Good morning.

MONTAGNE: It’s giving nothing away to say Tiffany Cushion Toggle necklace George is spending this day – on the one hand going about what he normally would do, but he’s also preparing to kill himself at the end of it.

Mr. FIRTH: That’s right. In his own mind, he’s made a very rational decision. This isn’t a hysterical decision. It’s a simple analysis of the situation. There is nothing in his philosophy which makes life worth continuing with. If there was any one person that he genuinely loved, he’s lost that person. I mean, that’s the starting point. What the film is about is the things that happens to him during that day which challenge that perspective.

MONTAGNE: Well, some of the Tiffany Beads necklace that happen include the life with his great love Jim, who died in a car accident. And he – occasionally, we see flashbacks.

Mr. FIRTH: Yes, the memories of that relationship are not necessarily the relationship at its most passionate or sexual or dramatic. They’re the memories of quite ordinary Elsa Peretti Starfish necklace. In fact, I think the film deals in ordinary things from beginning to end. But it gives them a poetry. So when he looks back at his life with his lover Jim, it’s sitting on the sofa together reading a book, arguing about whose turn it s to change the record. The moments that first…

MONTAGNE: Really quite mundane moments really that you think, why are they coming back to him?

Mr. FIRTH: Well, because those are the kinds of levels of comfort that are impossible to replace when you miss them. That comfort level takes, one could say, 16 years to acquire, and that’s Frank Gehry Fish necklace he’s not going to find again, and certainly not tomorrow. If it was their first night of passion, you know, one could imagine, you know, a night of passion could be found again, you know, within the foreseeable future. But not that deep, profound level of familiarity. That’s what he’s missing, I think.

And also, there’s things that seemed ordinary at the time. Now that he can’t have them anymore – and we all know what this is like. You know, you don’t know what you’ve got till you’ve lost it. Things that seemed ordinary at the time now seem incredibly precious. But what’s interesting, I think, in this story is that that’s actually happening to his present, because he’s about to leave the planet.

The everyday things that he sees take on that intensity that usually only belongs to the past. You know, when he sees a child, it’s the neighbor’s kid, this is the family who’d Black oynx Toggle necklace getting on his nerves for as long as he can remember. But on this particular occasion, the sight of this child is something exquisite. She’s the most beautiful child he’s ever seen.

Over the next few minutes, we’re going to hear about a man who Return to Tiffany Heart tag necklace more truly alive while contemplating his own death. The new movie, "A Single Man," is directed by Tom Ford, a new turn for fashion designer known for the sleek, sexy look he created for Gucci. It stars Colin Firth as English Professor George Falconer. And George is unable to emerge from him grief over the loss a few months earlier of the man he loved for 16 years.

We follow George as he goes about a single day in 1962. He teaches a class of mostly bored and uncomprehending students at a small California college. He plans a Return to Tiffany Heart tag choker at the home of his best friend, Charlotte, a fellow Brit. And he begins this day with a certain ritual.

(Soundbite of movie, "A Single Man")

Mr. COLIN FIRTH (Actor): (As George Falconer) It takes time in the morning for me to become George. I’m to adjust to what is expected of George and how he is to behave. By the time I’m dressed and put the final air of polish on the now slightly stiff, but quite perfect George, I know fully what part I’m supposed to play.

SECOND FAVORITE: "New Orleans, for a whole combination of reasons. You can be there in a few hours from Los Angeles or New York and have the experience of being in another Heart tag charm necklace. And the French Quarter is so romantic at night with the gas lamps. The antiques are mostly French Provincial."

ACTOR OR ACTRESS: "Bette Davis. I like her range and her attitude, and All About Eve is one of my favorite movies. I don’t have a favorite among today’s actors." BEST BUY: "My favorite Beads necklace is a stone sculpture [above] I got for $300 from a dealer in San Francisco. He called it a chicken-cow because it looks a little like a chicken and a little like a cow. Every time I see it, it makes me smile. The best buy I ever got was a seven-piece garden-chair set. The dealer didn’t attribute it to anyone. Turned out it was by Jean-Michel Frank. I think I paid $7,000. You could probably add a zero to that."

BUSINESS ADVICE: "Ignore what everyone else is doing, and blaze a trail. People laugh that when I was living in San Francisco and wanted to start a dot-com, I moved to Paris. I tend to do things in my own way."

TOP FIVE WEB SITES: "The first is nytimes.com. I might wake up at 5:00 A.M. and read the whole paper online. And then I’ll buy the newspaper itself when I Elsa Peretti Bean necklace out for coffee at Starbucks at six — I love the print version that much. The other four are expedia.com, giltgroup.com, artinfo.com and style.com. I’m not into blogs."

MOST INSPIRING BOOK: "Think & Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill. It’s more of a business inspiration than a personal one, but whatever you create in your life becomes personal, I think. It allowed me to understand the process of the mind and use it in everything I do. The book also taught me to put a deadline on what you want. Otherwise, things Atlas toggle necklace get done."

DESKTOP OBJECT: "A ceramic sculpture by my sister Sally. It’s a globe with high-rises poking out, as if Manhattan were protruding from the planet."
