Maude Eastman 1878-1950, was a trained artist and miniaturist who turned to jewellery design in the mid 1920s and opened a boutique in 1928 on the ground floor of the Park Lane Hotel, Piccadilly, called 'Modern Etceteras'. Her designs were inspired by the fashions of the day and favoured strong colour contrasts, the use of semi-precious stones and the juxtaposition of glittering faceted and smooth opaque stones. The shop closed at the beginning of the Second World War, but outlets such as Asprey and Fortnum & Mason continued to supply her work.
