Lilyan Tashman first wore these fantastic earrings as Alice-Duchess of Lincolnwood in the 1926 film Love’s Blindness.

The earrings are a bit early to have been made by Joseff of Hollywood, though it is not impossible. The costume designers attached to the film were André-ani, Kathleen Kay, and Maude Marsh, so it is likely one of them was responsible for making or purchasing the pieces.

The earrings were later worn by Carmel Myers in a promotional photo for MGM sometime in the late 1920s.

One Dress a Day Challenge

February: Kathleen's Monochrome Picks

Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ / Carmel Myers as Iras

Once again, Erté provided (uncredited) costumes for the character of Iras, the Egyptian vamp. The headdress is particularly astonishing. Love the peacock motif!

Also, today I learned that some parts of this film were actually shot in Technicolor. I had no idea that was even around in the 1920s.
