Marjorie Merriweather Post, the American heiress, businesswoman, and philanthropist, was known not only for her wealth and social influence but also for her exquisite taste in jewelry. Her collection includes some of the most remarkable and historically significant pieces ever created. In this video, we explore the dazzling world of Marjorie Merriweather Post's jewelry collection, highlighting each piece's stunning artistry and rich history.
One of the most opulent pieces in Post's collection is the Marie Louise Diadem. Originally given to Empress Marie Louise of France by her husband, Napoleon Bonaparte, this diadem is a masterpiece of early 19th-century craftsmanship. Adorned with emeralds and diamonds, this tiara epitomizes the grandeur of Napoleonic jewelry.
The Napoleon Diamond Necklace is another extraordinary piece with royal provenance. Commissioned by Napoleon for his second wife, Marie Louise, this necklace features a stunning array of diamonds set in a classical design. It reflects the emperor's love for grand gestures and luxury.
The Marie Antoinette Earrings are steeped in history, once belonging to the ill-fated Queen of France. These diamond earrings are not only beautiful but also carry Marie Antoinette's tragic and romantic legacy, adding a poignant element to Post's collection.
The Maximilian Emerald Ring is a standout piece due to its vibrant green emerald, once owned by Emperor Maximilian of Mexico. The ring's historical significance and the exceptional quality of the emerald make it a jewel of immense value and beauty.
This set includes a necklace and earrings, each featuring an exquisite combination of diamonds and rubies. The intricate design and the vivid contrast of colors make this demi-parure a true showstopper.
Among the rarest gems in Post's collection is the Blue Heart Diamond. This deep blue, heart-shaped diamond is a marvel of nature and craftsmanship. Its unique color and flawless cut make it a highlight of the collection.
The Emerald Brooch, featuring a large central emerald surrounded by diamonds, showcases Post's love for vibrant gemstones. The brooch's design emphasizes the natural beauty of the emerald, making it a timeless piece.
This necklace is a perfect example of Art Deco elegance. The combination of sapphires and diamonds in a geometric design reflects the artistic spirit of the 1920s and 1930s, capturing the essence of an era.
This unique necklace pairs the rich purple of amethysts with the striking blue of turquoise. The unusual combination of colors and the intricate design make it a standout piece in Post's collection.
The Pearl and Diamond Necklace is a classic and elegant piece. It combines the timeless beauty of pearls with the brilliance of diamonds, exemplifying understated luxury and sophistication.
This set features the soft glow of moonstones paired with the luster of pearls. The ethereal quality of moonstones and the timeless appeal of pearls make this set a truly enchanting part of the collection.
The Peridot Gold Bracelet showcases the vibrant green of peridots set in rich yellow gold. The combination creates a striking piece that is both elegant and eye-catching.
This whimsical brooch features a delicate hummingbird adorned with rubies and diamonds. The intricate detailing and the playful design reflect Post's appreciation for nature and fine craftsmanship.
Named after the daisy flower, this brooch features rubies and diamonds arranged in a floral design. The bright rubies and sparkling diamonds create a joyful and luxurious piece.
The Diamond Engagement Ring in Post's collection is a testament to the timeless appeal of diamonds. Its classic design and exceptional quality make it a symbol of enduring love and elegance.

I worked for her in Palm Beach and she was one of the nicest people i have ever met. Very down to earth(she was a business woman). I remember one time a family of five ,their house burnt down and she bought them a new house
The moonstone and pearl demi-parure is staggeringly beautiful!!!
Yes, I love moonstone as well. The first tiara featured, that one I like better in it's original form, with the emeralds. I adore green, so emeralds and peridot are my favorite stones, but moonstone is up there too!
Ive been to Hillwood before when I used to live in the MD / DC area. Her collection of Faberge and Russian treasures / Art is amazing!
Thanks for the info!
That collection was exhibited here in Alabama. I spent 4hrs touring it
That emerald brooch omfg it's incredible I love it ❤️❤️
Dazzling collection indeed! I like the peridot bracelet, her philantrophy shows her immense generosity is wonderful. Thank you, Andrew, for another lovely video. Stay well as always.
One of the best private collections I’ve seen if not THE best 😍😍😍😍
Gorgeous 🙏🙏🙏🤗
Of the 3 collections, I find this collection to be the most intriguing.
My favorite piece is the Marie Louise Diadem with turquoise
We agree.
I think it’s difficult to top the craftsmanship and artistry of that earlier day.
Très très chic 🎉
Engagement ring stunning
Like the Post collection best as I am a sucker for Art Deco design.
A dazzling collection and my favorite piece is the diamond and sapphire necklace
❤❤❤❤ absolutely beautiful
She gave the jewels as a way to cut her taxes. Yes she was an important philanthropist. But let’s not get carried away
For real.
She was an amazing woman. Do you know that that the Mercy Ships started with Marjorie? She sent her yacht with doctors to help during WWII. She also built Trump’s Mar-a-Lago.
The George Headley you used the pic of in this content unfortunately is not the jewelry designer, the person you used their pic is a West Indian cricket player from the old times named George Headley. You wanted to use the picture of George W. Headley. Too bad. I was kind of excited that Marjorie Merriwether Post was a patron of a black jeweler back when it was not the norm and would be very progressive of her at the time so I went in a deep dive to find out everything about the designer and his other works and unfortunately discovered the error.
Please do feature another stunning and historic jewelry collection owned by Evalyn Walsh McLean..owner of the Hope diamond until her passing and the Star of the East diamond among other spectacular pieces..
I like the ruby demi-parure and the large art deco emerald brooch.
The Marie-Louisr tiara was utterly ruined by replacing the emeralds with turquoises. From magnificent to blah in one ill-advised step.
I wonder which of these gems had originally come from the Romanov collection.
I’m Sure, King Charles would have delighted Queen Camilla with The Post Jewels, had they Not been donated!
Great Extravagance from years gone by!
My cousin wrote to her estate and all she got a bad photo copy of and picture of one tiara and saying that was she had so no wonder she was cheap after death
Let’s be honest, she didn’t want to pay taxes
Easy to live the high life when daddy is one of the richest men in the world 🤷♂️
Possibly compiled by AI? The sentence at 1:25 doesn't end. The word at 1:41 should be "provenance," not "providence." "Arpels" is mispronounced. Anyone knowledgeable in jewelry wouldn't do that. The mineral in the blue diamond is boron, not baron. Then "Van Cleef and apples."
It's lives--not lieves!! And BOHR-on not bah-RON!
Wrong George Headley image ...he was not Black
I cannot get behind the jewelry from the Victorian era and the Edwardian era and 1950s-70s. I'm surprised she has such few art Deco pieces in her collection considering her age at the time she started collecting. Also tourqoise is such an unattractive stone to have in European jewelry. It works so well in Native American jewelry with silver but in a Tiara the diamonds seems too opulent and out of place for the more muted tourqoise. For a woman with so much wealth her jewelry collection is awfully dowdy and unattractive. That Napoleon diamond necklace and the heart shaped blue diamond tho? Fantastic! The pearl and moonstone as well was pretty cool.
You have no taste and way too much arrogance!
Who cares if she donated them for a tax credit...They survived ...
Can someone please make videos like these by a human. Not bad AI with mispronunciations and wrong images. So frustrating
Hell they really wore their family trees on their heads. Too gauch 🤮🤮🤮
