throwing paint on it: Downton Abbey

Downton Abbey is my Sunday obsession. This British show on PBS is a period drama that follows the lives of the Crawleys, an aristocratic family living in North Yorkshire England from about 1912-1920. The show is filled with romance, scandal, gossip and historical plot lines that include the sinking of the Titanic and World War I. In addition to interesting plot lines the show also does a great job of showcasing the fashion of that time period. The Crawley women are always adorned in beautiful dresses and jewelry, and have set off a bit of a fashion trend.

Of course after watching a few episodes of the show, since I am an accessories fanatic, I scoured the Internet searching for jewelry reminiscent of the pieces on Downton. Here are some great options:
