FIRST LADY JEWELS - Francesca Amfitheatrof and Frank Everett

The UK has the Crown Jewels, but in the US and France jewellery connoisseurs observe their First Ladies. In this episode, Carol and her guests Francesca Amfitheatrof (Artistic Director of Jewellery at Louis Vuitton) and Frank Everett (former Senior Vice President of Jewellery at Sotheby’s New York) explore the hidden meanings of the White House jewels. Jewellery is a powerful messenger and the First Lady makes a subtly powerful statement with what she wears. Francesca Amfitheatrof is brilliantly placed to look at US style, having been Design Director at Tiffany as well as the French maison Louis Vuitton, while Frank Everett is described as the Pied Piper of the New York jewellery scene, having handled some of the world’s most important jewels during his time at Sotheby’s. For more information, please see: www.carolwoolton.com Follow Carol Woolton:  @carolwoolton Produced by Natasha Cowan @tashonfash Music and editing by Tim Thornton @timwthornton Creative direction by Scott Bentley @bentleycreative Illustrations Jordi Labanda @jordilabanda Read Carol Woolton in Vogue magazine – vogue.co.uk/fashion/jewellery Hosted on Acast.
