Jewels (ballet)
''Jewels'' is a three-act ballet created for the New York City Ballet by co-founder and founding choreographer George Balanchine. It premièred on Thursday, 13 April 1967 at the New York State Theater, with sets designed by Peter Harvey and lighting by Ronald Bates.〔The ballet went officially untitled at the première.〕
''Jewels'' has been called the first full-length abstract ballet. It has three related movements ''Emeralds'', ''Rubies'', and ''Diamonds'' (usually separated by intermissions). It can also be seen as three separate ballets, linked by their jewel-colored costumes. Balanchine commented: "The ballet had nothing to do with jewels. The dancers are just dressed like jewels."〔Nancy Reynolds, Repertory in Review (New York: Dial Press, 1977), p. 247.〕 Each of the three acts features the music of a different composer: ''Emeralds'' is set to the music of Gabriel Fauré, ''Rubies'' to the music of Igor Stravinsky and ''Diamonds'' to music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.〔(''Ballet Notes'', BalletMet Columbus )〕
==Costumes==
The costumes were created by Balanchine's long-time collaborator Barbara Karinska, who created a distinct look for each different act: romantic, calf-length tulle skirts for ''Emeralds'', fabric that flared at the hips of both men and women in ''Rubies'', and the flat, classical tutu of the Imperial Russian Ballet for ''Diamonds''. The costumes were such finely crafted pieces of art in their own right that some of them have been exhibited in museums and in theatre lobbies. Even Claude Arpels of Van Cleef & Arpels, who suggested the idea of a ballet based on gems to the choreographer, was impressed with her attention to finding the finest trim that would accurately represent the true glitter of genuine gemstones. Additionally, Karinska's painstaking work is credited with making the costumes last despite the sweat and strain of dancing in them. Her designs, needlework and choice in fabrics made them both durable and danceable, illustrating that the bodies inside the costumes were deserving of her utmost respect. When questioned about her attention to her almost extravagant detail she replied, "I sew for girls and boys who make my costumes dance; their bodies deserve my clothes."
