TIFF 50th Anniversary: Celebrating the Role of Vintage Jewelry in Film
This September, the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) celebrates its 50th anniversary, drawing film lovers, stars, and storytellers from around the world to Toronto. Just steps away from TIFF, Cynthia Findlay Fine Jewellery & Antiques—open by appointment—joins in the celebration by highlighting the enduring role of vintage jewelry in film and its timeless connection to storytelling, glamour, and style.
Jewelry as a Star of the Screen
(The links open new pages)
In cinema, jewelry is more than decoration—it’s a character in its own right. From the sparkle of a diamond necklace that conveys power and sophistication, to a delicate antique brooch that hints at history and memory, jewelry carries meaning that enhances the narrative. Costume designers and filmmakers alike turn to antique and vintage jewelry to bring authenticity and emotional depth to the screen.

Vintage Jewelry and Film: A Timeless Match
What makes vintage jewelry so captivating for film is its history. Each piece is crafted with artistry and detail, carrying a legacy that modern jewelry often cannot replicate. Just as TIFF showcases stories that stand the test of time, antique jewelry collections—like those curated at Cynthia Findlay Fine Jewellery & Antiques—capture eras, aesthetics, and craftsmanship that transcend decades. Whether it’s an heirloom ring, an Art Deco bracelet, or a Victorian pendant, these treasures are perfect for creating unforgettable moments both on screen and in real life.
