It was time for the cheese course, before the exquisite chocolate mousse was to come. We were served Roquefort and la Tomme – a little salty for my taste but opulent none the less. He’d been unsubtly awaiting my attention all evening. Is that your grandmother? Is who my grandmother? That woman in the locket. I took a sip of my Perrier.

After picking up this beauty on Portobello Road, I ducked into Gail’s bakery for a ham and gruyere croissant, a guilty (and oh, so worth it) pleasure, and a cappuccino.

I’d forgotten I was even wearing it, in my hunger I’d worn it right of the shop. What can I say? When you have good taste, you have good taste.

The French take holidays very seriously. They get seven weeks’ vacation a year. This might sound a bit extravagant but honestly, it’s why France and I get on so well.

When I was a kid, I would beg and plead for my parents to take me to the movie theatre; some would say I was obsessed. I used to turn around and look at the projector, I’d gaze at the little speck of bright light that glowed like the moon against the dark.

Consider the facts. There’s gold, glass, and quite possibly nothing in between. It hangs from the neck. It glints in the sun. It shows off a photograph, but only if you need it to. Now, consider the opportunities. With that short blue dress and ballet flats. With those high waisted trousers and Birkenstocks. On a veranda, twenty floors up, overlooking the lights of LA in the heat of the summer. With a glass of red. Swaying to the sounds of sleepless city below.

I’ve often wondered if jewels can flirt. The way they dance, shimmer, and shimmy, I find it’s a rather plausible hypothesis. Diamonds like these seduce the worthy and tease the unprepared. They’re inviting, but with a hint of scandal and plenty of allure. It’s easy to see why Daisy couldn’t get enough and why Gatsby followed suit.

Jet, a brown coal formed from fossilized driftwood from the Jurassic Period, has been used for thousands of years to craft all types of jewelry as well as personal objects. When rubbed, it produces an electric charge, much like amber. It was used as a talisman and given the nickname “black amber” for this very reason. The blackness of its color made it popular for mourning jewelry during the Victorian era.  Queen Victoria wore Whitby jet after the death of her dear Prince Albert. As a matter of fact, Whitby jet was the only jewelry permitted at court for the time being.

These stunning antique Victorian drop jet earrings were handcrafted in England around 1850. Each earring showcases a daisy motif made of Whitby jet. This pair was likely crafted specifically for wear during the mourning period, a time that could last up to two years and required an all-black wardrobe.

Take a piece of the Victorian era home with these lovely jet drop earrings!

Rings from the Retro Era mark a transition between the scarcities of the war years and stepping into the future and out of an austere past.

He told her he’d be back. She waited. Weeks turned to months and the months turned into a year. He was at sea, at home on the wild waves of the ocean. She never lost hope as he was always with her, hanging from a chain clasped around her neck, his handsome face in a photograph. He had gifted it to her as symbol of devotion, of fidelity.

Some nights I like to enjoy a margarita pizza on the back deck with a bottle of Chianti, because why not? Throw in some garnets and I have myself a party.

I love old libraries, the kinds with ladders and old spiral staircases. The quiet hush of the large rooms and the smell of old pages comfort the book worm in me. On my last trip to London, I found myself in one such library, paging through a book with large colored photographs of antique jewelry. I discovered a pendant that looked curiously like mine. It was like a time machine had collided two eras, then and now. It was a reminder that good taste can span centuries.

I test drove this fantastic ring at a garden party last week, it was hosted by beautiful people and set on the grounds of a grand manor, surrounded by lush gardens in full bloom.

The mystery of the Masons reaches back in history for centuries. Their trade began with the stonemasons, who were taught a highly skilled trade that was appreciated throughout the world. The creation of stone into geometric shapes was treasured and useful knowledge. In England and the rest of Europe, they’re responsible for building castles and cathedrals. The Masons have a long and murky history. As time progressed, especially during Medieval times, another group emerged that encouraged secret handshakes, passwords, and gatherings, they are called Speculative Freemasons. They’re known for their charity work, elaborate and sometimes unexplainable temples, and secrecy.

This vintage silver Masonic pendant was handcrafted in Birmingham, England in 1937. This piece is steeped in symbolism that remains a mystery to those who are not Freemasons. The miter square and compass are featured at the top of the pendant and have been known to mean that one should remember to square his actions by the square of virtue, and to circumscribe his passions and desires. This round pendant measures 52.2 x 39 mm and weighs 32.3 grams. It bears the anchor mark for Birmingham, the lion mark for English sterling silver, and the date letter “N” for 1937. The maker’s mark reads, “BMC”. The front of this silver medallion lists the years, “1914-1918”. The back of medal is engraved, “BRO. T.J. MATTINGLY.” “No 201”.

The modern day Masonic order was founded in 1717, at a pub in London, called The Goose and Gridiron. It was where the first official Speculative Free Masons pledged their allegiance.

My romantic side swoons over pendants like these. The lady whose lover gifted her this locket was a lucky woman. Her husband would have left for the Great War, unsure of his return, around 1914. Upon his leaving he would have given his love this locket with a picture of him, so she would never be truly without him. This sentimental piece was known as sweetheart locket, or a wartime locket. It was a simple token of fidelity, a memento to last forever.  

This fabulous antique English silver enamel pendant was handcrafted around 1917.

It measures 39 x 27 mm and weighs 5.1 grams. It bears the silver fineness mark, “STERLING”.

The Royal Regiment of Artillery is the artillery arm of the British Army. It’s been active since 1716 and they are commonly called, “Gunners”.

Fobs. These little pieces speak to my heart. They have secrets about them I try to uncover. What does the symbolism mean? Is this phrase attached to a famous fraternity or a clandestine brotherhood? Who made it, when and why? My curiouser and curiouser nature keeps me asking questions. In this case, I think that this wonderful fob symbolizes the unity of England, Scotland and Wales, by featuring the Rose of England, the Thistle of Scotland and the Daffodil of Wales and it bears the word ‘Unitie’ meaning ‘unity’ or ‘from many, one’.

This antique early Victorian gold fob was handcrafted in England around 1840. It’s a flower shaped fob with an oval carnelian seal featuring an intaglio of the three flowers and the word, “UNITIE”.

In 1890, the Birmingham Jewellery and Silversmiths’ Association opened a school specifically for jewelry making on Vittoria Street in Birmingham. More than 125 years later, the Birmingham School of Jewellery is still there, educating students in the worlds of silversmithing, horology, gemology, and more. The school is found at the heart of the city’s Jewellery Quarter, now an urban center with a creative atmosphere. The jewelry trade was once considered the most lucrative career in Birmingham. Apprentices were required to attend the Birmingham School of Art, in which, the branch of Jewellery and Silversmithing was found. The Jewellery Quarter once produced 40% of the UK’s jewelry. It is where many technological advancements in the world of jewelry making were born.

It’s the color of autumn, the season of jack-o-lanterns and leaves the color of daffodils, fire, and port wine.

T-shirts are covered with sweatshirts and iced tea becomes hot cider. It’s the color of tradition, of shorter days and longer nights, of fireside stories and fleece flannel blankets.

I found this silver pill box on my last trip to Paris. I was asked what on earth I would use it for. My rebuttal was fairly informative as there are many things to be put inside tiny boxes. I listed off the obvious things, pills, earrings, love notes, matches, and then I added rings, that extra button to the cashmere sweater I treasure oh so much, even chocolates from the chocolatier, who was just down the road from where I now stood arguing my convincing position. Now that I’m home again and have tested out this lovely box, I can tell you that les petites truffles avec café fit perfectly inside this vessel. The best part? Nobody but me will be sneaking my chocolates.
