Measures Approximately 3/8"l X 1/16"w And Is Not Sizeable.<br/><br/><br/><br/> Emily Borie Ryerson of Haverford, Pennsylvania was vacationing with her husband, Arthur and three of her five children in Europe. While on vacation, she received a telegraph that her 21-year-old son, Arthur Jr. was killed in a car crash back home. Emily completely fell apart, but her maid, Victorine, her youngest son's governess was a godsend who cared for the children while her husband arranged passage on Titanic. She seldom left her cabin after boarding. Emily was quoted, "Nothing mattered, and no amount of money could have bought us peace or comfort." After her extended vacation, Emily was quite the socialite and did eventually begin to resume her former position as one of Chicago's delightful society leaders and hostesses. She endowed a scholarship in her son's name to young men of promise, was appointed by President Herbert Hoover to work on American Fund for the French wounded during World War I and also traveled with the president on his goodwill tour of South America. While living in Chicago, Emily returned to her "roots" of being an artist of much promise and planned on taking up work in this line again. She leased a studio in Chicago to devote herself to metal work and jewel setting. Along with her roots of jewelry making she enjoyed traveling and while on a trip to the Orient, Emily met her second husband in Peking. She married Forsythe Sherfesee and lived in a villa on the French Riviera. <br/><br/> Titanic Jewelry Collection <br/><br/> For four magical days, the Titanic's elite passengers reveled in every modern luxury known at the time. During the early part of the 20th century, it was considered quite sophisticated for wealthy families to spend portions of their time in Europe which meant crossing the Atlantic at least once per year. Even to these jaded travelers, the Titanic ship was like no other. Not only was it the most impressive ship of its time draped in every luxury imaginable but so were its passengers. The women of the Titanic would plan for months to bring the right fashionable apparel aboard such a luxurious ship. Along with extensive outfit planning came accessorizing: large hats, mink stoles, gloves and of course, the jewelry. Jewelry of that time was depictive of the Art Nouveau and Edwardian eras. Art Nouveau jewelry was influenced by naturalism involving unusual designs within a symmetrical frame often encompassing foliage, leaves, enamel, pearls, crystals and gemstones. Edwardian designs included more formal jewelry: tiaras, brooches, rings, pendants, earrings, bracelets and sautoir necklaces. Many were set with brilliant gemstones, including diamonds, crystals and of course, pearl.

Measures Approximately 1/2"l X 1/8"w And Is Not Sizeable.<br/><br/><br/><br/> Marian Thayer was born November 9, 1872 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She married John Thayer, vice president of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Marian and John traveled to Europe to reunite with their 17-year-old son, Jack Thayer. On April 10, 1912, they boarded the Titanic in Cherbourg, France with Jack and their maid Miss Fleming. While onboard they met their friends George and Eleanor Widener and attended the private dinner party with other distinguished guests including Captain Edward J. Smith. The family was preparing for bed when the collision occurred. Jack went up immediately to wake his parents, who accompanied him back to the port side of the ship. Noticing that the Titanic was developing a list to port, they returned to their rooms and put on warmer clothes and life vests. They returned to the deck, but Jack lost sight of his parents and after searching for them, assumed they had boarded a lifeboat. Jack soon encountered Milton Long, a fellow passenger he had met hours before over coffee. Both Milton and Jack tried to board a lifeboat but were denied because they were men. Eventually, as the ship was sinking quickly, the two men decided to jump and attempt to swim to safety. Milton went first; it was the last time Jack ever saw him. Once in the water, Jack reached an improperly launched and overturned collapsible lifeboat, on which he and a number of other men were able to balance for some hours. After spending the night on the overturned collapsible, Jack was picked up by Lifeboat 12. He was so distraught and freezing that he did not notice his mother in nearby Lifeboat 4, nor did she notice him. Lifeboat 12 finally made its way to the rescue ship and upon their reunion Marian asked her son 'Where's daddy?'and Jack answered 'I don't know, mother.' After they disembarked from the Carpathia Marian, Jack and Margaret Fleming made their way to Jersey City, NJ where they boarded a private train back to Haverford. <br/><br/> Titanic Jewelry Collection <br/><br/> For four magical days, the Titanic's elite passengers reveled in every modern luxury known at the time.

She was young and attractive and prior to her career on the Titanic was turned down from several job opportunities. Violet believed she was not hired because she was too young and attractive. So for her next interview, Violet decided to wear no make up and dress in drab clothes so she could appear ten years older. Well it worked. Violet was hired on the spot to serve aboard the Olympic, where she also received three marriage proposals! While working on the Olympic, the ship collided with the British warship, the HMS Hawk and both ships were seriously damaged. A year later, Violet signed on with the Titanic a magnificent ship that was said to be unsinkable. However, after the Titanic hit an iceburg, Violet was ordered up on deck and told to enter a lifeboat to show women passengers they were safe to board. After she sat down, an officer dropped a baby of bundle in her lap and said, "Here Miss Jessop. Look after this baby." Four years after Violet's near death experience aboard the Titanic, she served as a nurse for the British Red Cross during World War I, she had to swim for her life when the HMHS Britannic struck a mine and sank in the Aegean Sea. Caring for others at sea was Violet Jessop's job. She was a stewardess/nurse working for the White Star line. Within five years she would survive three near-death experiences. Undaunted and undiscouraged Violet continued to work for the White Star line and other cruise ships. Violet was a survivor and a warrior. She was known for her perserverence and unsinkable attitude. Violet was quoted by saying, "If I survive this shipwreck, Ill write a book titled Titanic Survivor: The Memoirs of a Stewardess. It may read like fiction, but it will be all too true and painfully so."<br/><br/> Titanic Jewelry Collection <br/><br/> For four magical days, the Titanic's elite passengers reveled in every modern luxury known at the time. During the early part of the 20th century, it was considered quite sophisticated for wealthy families to spend portions of their time in Europe which meant crossing the Atlantic at least once per year. Even to these jaded travelers, the Titanic ship was like no other. Not only was it the most impressive ship of its time draped in every luxury imaginable but so were its passengers. The women of the Titanic would plan for months to bring the right fashionable apparel aboard such a luxurious ship. Along with extensive outfit planning came accessorizing: large hats, mink stoles, gloves and of course, the jewelry. Jewelry of that time was depictive of the Art Nouveau and Edwardian eras. Art Nouveau jewelry was influenced by naturalism involving unusual designs within a symmetrical frame often encompassing foliage, leaves, enamel, pearls, crystals and gemstones. Edwardian designs included more formal jewelry: tiaras, brooches, rings, pendants, earrings, bracelets and sautoir necklaces. Many were set with brilliant gemstones, including diamonds, crystals and of course, pearl.

Her children were required to only speak English to their late father, the infamous "Diamond Jim" Baxter. Helene's husband built what might be described as Canada's first shopping mall. He also opened his own bank and many Canadians describe him as "the country's largest private banker and a philanthropist who devoted a large share of his wealth to improving outlying districts of Montreal." Her husband was a family man and took very good care of them. After he passed, Helene sold their mansion and department store and decided to take their daughter and her husband on the vacation of a lifetime. One of their vacation stops was a jaunt on the Titanic where they were happily ensconced in two of the Titanic's most expensive suites. And what may Helene be wearing aboard this glorious ship?

The couple had the ability to travel because Charles Stengel was principal of the leather-manufacturing firm Stengel & Rothschild. A very profitable business Mrs. Stengel would say. The Titanic experience was like an extension of their European trip; because each day was filled with fine dining, live concerts, cocktail parties and interesting people. That evening the couple retired around 10pm, within minutes they were making a dash for the lifeboats, Annie in her kimono over her nightdress and Charles not fully dressed either. The couple was separated and Annie was placed in a lifeboat without her husband. Just when she sat down, a man leapt into the boat on top of her, cracking some ribs. She said the pain was awful but the agony of possibly losing her husband was far more excruciating. During the many cocktail parties you may have seen Annie wearing this exquisite necklace and it almost resembles the black leather from her husband's notable company. <br/><br/>Titanic Jewelry Collection <br/><br/> For four magical days, the Titanic's elite passengers reveled in every modern luxury known at the time.

Measures Approximately 2 1/4"l X 1 11/16"w With A 4.5mm Bail.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Violet Jessop was a 24 year old stewardess aboard the Titanic. She was young and attractive and prior to her career on the Titanic was turned down from several job opportunities. Violet believed she was not hired because she was too young and attractive. So for her next interview, Violet decided to wear no makeup and dress in drab clothes so she could appear ten years older. Well it worked. Violet was hired on the spot to serve aboard the Olympic, where she also received three marriage proposals! While working on the Olympic, the ship collided with the British warship, the HMS Hawk and both ships were seriously damaged. A year later, Violet signed on with the Titanic a magnificent ship that was said to be unsinkable. However, after the Titanic hit an iceberg, Violet was ordered up on deck and told to enter a lifeboat to show women passengers they were safe to board. After she sat down, an officer dropped a baby of bundle in her lap and said, "Here Miss Jessop. Look after this baby." Four years after Violet's near death experience aboard the Titanic, she served as a nurse for the British Red Cross during World War I, she had to swim for her life when the HMHS Britannic struck a mine and sank in the Aegean Sea. Caring for others at sea was Violet Jessop's job. She was a stewardess/nurse working for the White Star line. Within five years she would survive three near-death experiences. Undaunted and undiscouraged Violet continued to work for the White Star line and other cruise ships. Violet was a survivor and a warrior. She was known for her perseverance and unsinkable attitude.

She was married to Isidor Strauss, a German-American businessman and co-owner of Macy's department store. Ida and her husband wintered in Cap Martin, a small resort in the Riviera, then traveled to the Holy Land and spent time in Jerusalem. This couple always traveled together, but on occasion Mr. Straus would travel alone on business. While he was away, the couple often exchanged letters daily. They had seven children together. On April 10, 1912, Ida and Isidor boarded the Titanic from Southampton with their maid Miss Ellen Bird and manservant John Farthing. Isidor and Ida Straus were seen standing near Lifeboat No. 8 in the company of Mrs. Straus's maid, Ellen Bird. Although the officer in charge of the lifeboat was willing to allow the elderly couple to board the lifeboat with Miss Bird, Isidor Straus refused to go as long as there were women and children still remaining on the ship. He urged his wife to board, but she refused, saying, "We have lived together for many years. Where you go, I go." Her words were witnessed by those already in Lifeboat No. 8 as well as many others who were on the boat deck at the time. Once Ida made this decision she gave her fur coat to her maid Miss Bird and the couple truly in love was last seen alive sitting together quietly on deck chairs on Titanic's boat deck. <br/><br/> Titanic Jewelry Collection <br/><br/> For four magical days, the Titanic's elite passengers reveled in every modern luxury known at the time.
