Jewels

1992 · 1 season

A sweeping, old-fashioned family saga that moves gently through decades of romance and hardship, pleasant to sink into without demanding much.

Overview: Sarah Thompson, an American visiting England, meets and marries William Whitfield, the Duke of Whitfield. They settle in a chateau in France and begin a family. World War II interrupts their happiness and alters their future. After the war, the family helps war survivors by buying their jewelry and eventually opens a jewelry store, which rapidly becomes a success. But conflicts abound as new generations arise and forces from both outside and within threaten the store and the family.
How it feels: Melancholic, romantic, earnest and warm. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Family, love, class, war
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
