This stunning 33” Imperial Gem Cherish doll was created by renowned artist Patricia Loveless and represents the craftsmanship and elegance the Imperial Gem Collection is known for. Cherish features expressive glass eyes, finely painted porcelain features, and an elaborate period-inspired costume in soft peach and blush tones, richly layered with velvet, lace, ribbon, pearls, and feather accents. Her dramatic bonnet, cascading curls, and ornate bodice details give her a true museum-quality presence.
Cherish is a limited edition doll, numbered #257 of 1,000 worldwide, and comes from my personal collection. She includes her original Designer Guild / Imperial Gem box, certificate of authenticity, ownership and transfer paperwork, Designer Guild packaging materials, and original stand, all shown in the photos.
Imperial Gem dolls are authenticated by a genuine hand-set diamond or precious gemstone mounted on the bottom of the foot. I personally inspected Cherish and confirmed the original diamond is present, further verifying her authenticity as an Imperial Gem artist doll.
