Rare Treasures: Opening a Southern Socialite’s Jewelry Box

The last grand set of contemporary jewelry Marjorie Post acquired consisted of a necklace and earrings; the creation of Lexington, Kentucky-based de­signer George Headley in 1966, it was made of large and unusual baroque Burma pearls and moonstones. Headley sent the pieces to Post’s Palm Beach residence, Mar-a-Lago, for her ap­proval. Enchanted by the set, she wrote back, “The lovely necklace and earrings are going to live with me.”
