Downton abbey

Here is the series I started the year with. The discovery of Downton Abbey has made it one of my favorites right now. I'd say it is in my top 5 with The Tudors, Rome, Mad Men and Deadwood.
All these series besides being completely perfect about filming techniques and plots, they all  have something in common: amazing stage sets and costumes.

I can not remain impassive when I see all these pieces of jewellery. No one would think they are real (maybe some) but to think of somebody designing costume jewellery from the period of pre WWI, makes me want to be that person. It appears obvious that there has been a exhaustive research job about it. From here I congratulate them for such good work. Fantastic!
