"In 1949 Dalí signed a contract with the New York based Argentinian jewelry manufacturer Carlos Alemany to create his own collections. Before the jewels were even made, 22 pieces were sold from the designs to the Philadelphia banker and philanthropist Cummins Catherwood and his wife Ellengowan. They were great believers in Dalí’s jewelry design talents and not only displayed the collection in the living room of their mansion in Haverford, Pennsylvania, they also supported the work in gallery exhibitions." - from The Adventurine.
