SOUNDBITE: (English) Alexandra Klingelhofer, Vice President of Collections, RMS Titanic: "We want to bring out for people to understand the wonder of exploration, going down two-and-a-half miles to the ocean, recovering a bag, bringing it back up and opening it and finding jewellery. Fabulous jewels. Diamonds, sapphires, sparkling in the light after almost 100 years of being in the darkness. And that's an excitement that was only shared by the people on the ship. And so, in bringing these jewels together, for the public as a mini exhibit, we're able to give them a glimpse as to how it must have been to have opened that for the first time and to see, together, the beautiful jewellery of the Edwardian period." 8.

The jewellery is from a single purser's bag found during a 1987 research and recovery mission. The collection includes diamond and sapphire rings, brooches, necklaces, cuff links and a gold pocket watch. In a nondescript industrial office in north Atlanta, officials from Premier Exhibitions Inc. and RMS Titanic Inc. previewed the artifacts before the exhibit opening. Exhibition company Premier is the parent company of RMS Titanic, which owns the rights to salvage from the luxury liner's wreck at the bottom of the North Atlantic. Alexandra Klingelhofer, Vice President of Collections, RMS Titanic, says the purpose of the exhibit is to show the public the wonder of exploration. "Going down two-and-a-half miles to the ocean, recovering a bag, bringing it back up and opening it and finding jewellery. Fabulous jewels. Diamonds, sapphires, sparkling in the light after almost 100 years of being in the darkness. ." Although single pieces of the jewelry have been on display at one or more permanent and travelling exhibits sponsored by Premier Exhibitions Inc., their Atlanta debut is the first time the majority of the collection has been available to the public. "In bringing these jewels together, for the public as a mini exhibit, we're able to give them a glimpse as to how it must have been to have opened that for the first time and to see, together, the beautiful jewellery of the Edwardian period," says Klingelhofer. The exhibit opens Friday at Premier's display gallery at the Atlantic Station gallery in Atlanta, Georgia. After a two-month exhibit in Atlanta, the jewels will travel to Orlando, Florida, and Las Vegas, Nevada.
