Radiance and Reverie: Jewels from the Collection of Neil Lane

COMING SOON

Presented by: Joe Orgill Family Fund for Exhibitions

Organized by: The Toldedo Museum of Art with the support of the The Museum Box

Step into a world of brilliance and beauty with Radiance and Reverie, a dazzling exhibition featuring more than 150 extraordinary jewels from the private collection of famed jewelry designer Neil Lane. Best known for his presence on the red carpet and ABC’s The Bachelor, Lane has spent decades amassing one of the most important historic jewelry collections in the United States. Now, for the first time, this remarkable collection comes to light in an exhibition that celebrates jewelry as both art and cultural artifact.

Spanning nearly a century of design—from the opulence of nineteenth-century revival styles to the elegance of Hollywood’s golden age—Radiance and Reverie invites visitors to see jewelry in a new light: not only as adornment, but as miniature sculptures that reflect shifting tastes, social change, and artistic innovation. Featuring iconic names such as Suzanne Belperron, Cartier, Boucheron, Castellani, Louis C. Tiffany, and Tiffany & Co., the exhibition reveals the story of modern jewelry through three distinct chapters:

  • Paris: The World Stage showcases revival styles that captured imaginations at nineteenth-century world’s fairs.
  • New York: An American Jewelry House focuses on the legacy of Tiffany & Co. and Louis C. Tiffany and the rise of American design.
  • Hollywood: Glamour traces the star-studded journey of jewels worn by legends like Mae West and Joan Crawford and revived on today’s red carpets.
