13/02/2026 Jewellery & Gems
With the release of Emerald Fennell’s version of Wuthering Heights this month, there has been an increase of interest in Victorian jewellery, contemporary to the time the book was originally written. As with much of Fennell’s oeuvre, the costuming and setting of the film has been dramatised and glamourised to an extent. For example, Catherine Earnshaw would most likely not have worn gems glued to her face or Ozzy Osbourne style sunglasses - but that’s cinema! In this month’s auction, you can follow in Margot Robbie’s stylish footsteps with pieces similar to in the film adaptation, or you can stay true to the Wuthering Height’s era with Victorian jewellery.
Wuthering Heights is a love story at its core, and as it is released in February when most people look towards Valentine’s Day it is no wonder the film is filled with heart motif jewellery. We have a variety of heart jewellery in the 25th February Auction. Lots: 333, 344, 100, 101
While on the red carpet, and throughout the film, Margot Robbie has displayed a consistent theme of garnets, pearls, and crosses. To follow in her footsteps, we have a number of lots that would have you fit perfectly as an extra in the film. Lots: 12, 260, 356
If you are more interested in keeping true to the Victorian era of Wuthering Heights, then we have the perfect thing. Mourning jewellery was very popular in the 19th Century, influenced greatly in the latter half by Queen Victoria who suffered the loss of many loved ones throughout her life and reign. In our February Auction, we have two morning brooches, one with a glazed compartment to the back with hairwork. During the London premiere, Robbie wore a replica of Charlotte Bronte’s bracelet made from the woven hair of her sisters.Lots: 138, 36, 340
