Edwardian Diamond Aquamarine Bow Necklace Platinum c. 1910
$ 12,500.00
The last decade of the nineteenth century, the fin de siècle, was a time when the rejection of machine-made jewelry that had once been welcomed as an innovation, caused an about face in fashion and design. Jewelry went from large and ostentatious to ethereal and delicate almost overnight. Employing what was to become known as the “garland” style or 'style guirlande' in France, jewelers who chose not to embrace Art Nouveau or Arts and Crafts styles borrowed the fluidity of their lines and incorporated them into more traditional motifs thereby creating Edwardian jewelry. The “new” designs of the Edwardian Era had their roots firmly planted in eighteenth-century jewelry. The Court of Versailles was the inspiration for customers who desired more classically and aristocratically styled jewels. Ornamental motifs from earlier centuries were available through pictorial records from pattern books which began circulating freely beginning in the 1850s. In particular, Cartier encouraged his designers to wander the streets of Paris looking at seventeenth and eighteenth century architecture for jewelry inspiration. Garlands and ribbons, laurel wreaths, bow knots, tassels and lace were rendered with a new lightness thanks to new advances made in platinum fabrication.
Here is a fine example the garland style. An antique Edwardian garland-style diamond and aquamarine Platinum Bow Necklace that I discovered on my last trip to Paris. This pendant has a rich and lively faceted tear drop aquamarine that is approximately 11.58 carats is size and measures about 21.2 x 113 x 8.58 mm. The platinum bow is embedded with 29 lovely sparkling rose cut diamonds each 1.6-1.8 mm in diameter, .26 carats in all. As if that was not enough, there is one larger full cut old European diamond above the bow, a sparkly round gem which weighs approximately 0.16 carats. This stunning necklace was hand crafted around 1910, mostly likely in Paris. The chain is 16 inches long and the pendant and chain together weighs 9.9 grams. The overall measurement of the bow is 35 mm wide, it's 35.5 mm from the top of the bow to bottom of aquamarine and 52 mm from the top diamond to the bottom of bow.
This pendant has been professionally appraised by a 3rd party antique jewelry appraiser, it has a replacement value of $16,500.00. Full appraisal available upon request.
Sometimes I like to refer to items as wearable from 'blue jeans to ball gowns', this is more along the lines of 'Wedding dresses to White tie'!!

Vintage Retro Aquamarine Cocktail Ring, French Marks
$ 2,400.00
5 o’clock cocktails, high heels, tight dresses, big hair, cigarettes, that’s the era that this fantastic cocktail ring was born into. It screams for gold lamé and a fresh manicure. Big was the fashion of the day and 1950s jewelry was bold and flashy and demanded attention, and this beautiful aqua ring is certainly no exception.
Hand crafted in 18 karat gold, this fabulous ring has a play on the Neoclassical with its columnar feel and scrolling mount. It is set with a huge aquamarine stone in the very lightest shade of blue which weighs about 20 carats (22.2x17.5x9.6mm). The ring is marked on the back with several French hallmarks, it has the import mark of the owl with a 75 on it’s chest this means it has been assayed as 750 or 18k gold, it also has two other marks, but they are too rubbed to make out. This wonderfully weighty ring is a size 7.25 US and could be resized to suit, it weighs 17.7 grams. The ring measures 23 mm north to south and 18 mm across, it is 13 mm high and narrows to 4.4 mm at the back of the band. I bought this beauty in Paris, and while it's a bit hard to date, I suspect it was made in Europe around 1950.
This ring would go perfectly with a martini, but it would play nice with ice tea as well, wearable from blue-jeans to ballgowns!
