Jewelry Part of the Plot

Seeing Josette with that ring made me recall other times in the DS Series when a piece of jewelry was important to the plot or storyline. Let's see how many you can remember.

Of course there is the case full of jewlery which was sealed in the basement wall, (Naomi's I think).

Naomi's necklace: This is what Willie was actually after when he accidentally discovered the secret mausoleum room. He had seen her wearing it in a book, and Mrs. Johnson filled his head with tales of a pirate having given it to her.

Josette's Earrings: Willie stole them from the hidden cache of jewels which Barnabas kept hidden - strangely enough - in the wall of his dungeon cell. Willie gave the earrings to Maggie anonymously. Joe was peeved.

Elizabeth's broach: Willie stole it from her, but Jason retrieved it and gave it back to her.

Julia's ring: in 1840 it saved her life when Barnabas saw it on the finger of Laszlo.

Maggie's ring:  After Maggie was kidnapped by Barnabus in the previous storyline, he stashed it in a candleholder in Willie's room so that the sherriff and Sam could find it, seemingly establishing that Willie had been the stalker/kidnapper.  
  Possible spoiler, but I've got to ask, after Willie was shot so many times outside Maggie's bedroom, and we saw him clinging to dear life in the hospital, were we to assume that he recovered and went to prison?  

Julia's alleged heirloom pendant:  She used it on Maggie to make her forget about being kidnapped once Maggie's memory started to return.  Julia also used it unsuccessfully on David to keep him from snooping around the old house and from finding out the truth about Barnabus.

Yes, they patched poor Willie up and sent him off to Windcliffe (a conveniently located mental asylum) for some attitude adjustment.

Prison would have been too complicated...how could they explain the release of a kidnapper after so short a period of time?  

On the other hand, letting a CRAZY kidnapper out of a madhouse....why no one would question that at all!

And just like everybody else who ever worked on this show 'He'll be baaaaack!'

Thanks, Raineypark.  It all makes sense now.  LOL

You're very welcome Shadows1....though I never thought I'd see the sentence "It all makes sense now" used in relation to ANYTHING having to do with Dark Shadows!! LOL

Beth Chavez's ghost led Barnabas to discover the pentagram necklace buried with the child.

In 1897, Count Petofi gives Quentin a ring that later allows him to switch bodies with him.

How can all forget that big clunky medallion that Angelique gave Barnabas to wear during the duel with Jerimiah?                                                                                                                                                                  SPOILER.......SPOILER......SPOILER........SPOILER........!!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Cassandra kept the poisen hidden in her ring that she used to give her then "husband" a nice long nap.                                                                                                                                                                              During the Adam storyline, Professor Stokes gave Barnabas an amulet that protected against witchcraft. Barnabas then gave the amulet to Dr. Lang to use for his own protection against witches.                                                                                                                                                                       Magda used a five point medallion to ward off being attacked by the werewolf during 1897.

There was Victoria Winter's charm bracelet. Also, there was that watch fob that Angelique used to try and identify if Gerard was possessed by Judah Zachery.

Isn't there a piece of jewelry used when Angelique threatens Quentin in 1897 to return with her to Collinwood instead of leaving to meet Amanda Harris at the train station?

Based on the way Magda clinked and clanked I would say Grayson pretty much cleaned out the DS costume jewelry stash just about every day during that storyline.  Our favorite gypsy queen probably had about 40 pounds of miscellaneous pieces jangling around at any given time!

Maybe Magda (Grayson) was Mr. T's inspiration??

You're right Bette any normal thief would have hide it but not our Laszlo!!! He was a hoot!

Didn't Bruno have some necklace he wore?
