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. It’s more time to wear the finer things in life, and to eat the finer things, to drink in life. Why not don a golden bracelet while eating Roquefort cheese on a baguette in le Périgord? As a matter of fact, it’s one of my favorite hobbies.

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.

We sat at an outdoor café in Cannes, while dining on butter cake and scotch. It was the perfect weather, mid 60’s, light breeze. I wore a simple white silk wrap dress with a chain wrapped around my neck in layers. I waved to Hirokazu Kore'eda. He waved back.

‘You know him?’

‘Seems that way.’

I took a sip, admiring the thespians and writers scrambling around the town. There was talk about having to wear heels and gowns and jewels just to be allowed in the festivities.

‘It’s a bit much, wouldn’t you say, Victoria?’

‘I would say. But I got away with it.’

It's Sunday afternoon at the club. It's business meetings and cigars. You know your perfectly cut beige suit stands out among the pleated navy and gray pants. But, you drink the good scotch, you sit up straight, don’t fidget, stay engaged, your phone is tucked away in your purse where it belongs. You're the well-traveled one of the lot and you can tell that Todd from two tables down is intimidated by your doctorate, even though he has one too. It's just that sense you give off, that confident radiation of poise and intelligence.

Handcrafted with 18k gold, this French Long guard chain was create around 1900. It has a wonderful hand made feel, the little links are so creative and lively, with plaques that make it flash and twisted wire centers for extra sparkle (and wit, like you!). It measures 60" in length and weighs 39.2 grams. It is hallmarked with the French eagles head and has been acid tested. It’s wrapped three times around your neck today, but when you go out tonight you’ll take off this beige jacket, undo the top button on your navy button down shirt and change it up, two wraps, one short like a choker and a long length that nestles right between the ladies.

You're a force to be reckoned with. And everybody knows it.

These French long guard chains originally were worn with a pocket watch and the length made it very easy for a lady to check the time. They would be worn as a single length with the watch hanging from the hanger and usually a woman would tuck the watch into her waistband allowing the chain to loop across her chest. As such, they don't open at the end, but rather have a clasp hanging from the full, closed, loop of chain. If you'd like to wear this chain as a triple, we'll need to have our jeweler change the clasp so that the chain will have an opening, like a regular chain would have. This is easily done and we're happy to do it upon request!

As far as baubles go, this one is extraordinary. It’s a nod to the vanished elegance of a time gone by, of chateaux and extravagant gardens, when beautiful people dressed for dinner and women entered the room in a flutter of silk. A time when chandeliers were lit, fires crackled, candelabras blazed, turning diamonds like these into rich luminous drops of captured sparkle against soft skin.

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. It looked like a sparkling diamond, full of time and full of history. This brooch reminds me of that speck of light, a moon with diamonds that radiates, even in twilight.

The rosary is 21 inches around the 53 beads around measure approximately 6.8 mm each, I don't note any chips or cracks. The 6 larger beads are about 8.8 mm each.

It was just a café table in Paris off Rue de Bastille, a little place I frequent when I’m in the mood for an aged Zind Humbrecht and dark chocolate raspberry truffles. Somehow, she spotted me, jaywalking like her life depended on it. She sat down and demanded a cappuccino from the waiter. She reached out and touched the pendant I wore like a choker.

“What’s your secret to finding antiques, Victoria?”

“Intuition. You either have it or you don’t.”

“Well, you certainly have it.”

“I agree darling, I agree.”

I sipped my wine, offering her a truffle. She drank her espresso and left as quickly as she had come. I tugged at my pendant, glad I picked it up all those years ago.

Ivy clings, it grows along walls, over stones, up trees, and inches toward the sky, forming a unity with its sturdy base. Jewelry with an ivy motif was given as a representation of fidelity, friendship and eternity during the 1800s. In Britain, ivy was called, “lovestone”, named for the way it clung to stone walls.

Each drop earring features a round creamy white pearl at the top with a long drop link chain that leads to an ivy leaf shaped drop dotted with another round pearl.

I wore it on an Italian terrace framed in by a clay roof with yellow-orange walls. I held a glass of soave, fermented from the grapes I could see lining the hills around me, all the way to the horizon. The sky was turquoise, almost robin’s egg blue, and the sun was as white as the pearls on the ring I wore. I slow danced with the man I love, as the white sun turned orange and set into the Tuscan hills, turning everything around them gold. The silhouette of color matched my ring perfectly, taking my breath away.

Sitting in the glassed-in sunroom of an English Garden flat is really the best place to buy your jewelry. Nothing does as right by jewels as sunlight. I was sitting at a round glass dining table in such a room, in such a flat, on such a sunny day when the lovely lady who was showing me her wears carefully unwrapped this stunningly beautiful pendant. I immediately held it up in my hand to get the full effect of the ‘light of day’, plaque á jour enamel. Gorgeous.

This fantastic pendant was hand crafted in 18 karat gold and features a praying Virgin Mary at the center, she is surrounded by blue plique windows and clusters of red plaque flowers. The plique does have a little few areas of damage, as they so often do, most notably there is a small bit of enamel missing at the very top and there is a very tiny hole at the bottom right, I was happy to forgive it because overall it’s a very special piece.

She picked a flower, a yellow daisy, the happy, hopeful kind of flower with rows petals and a soft button center. She sat on a blanket beneath the sun in a field of clover and wildflowers. She hummed to herself as the wind took her hair and danced with it around her head. She whispered in rhythm, “Il m’aime un peu, beaucoup, passionnement, a la folie, pas du tout,” pulling each petal free, one at a time, until all but one had been plucked. Did he love her, or love her not? The answer was for her to know, a secret kept between the flower and herself, but she did decide that his picture could stay hidden away in her locket, at least for now.

The thing about lockets is, they become yours. They hold your photographs. They keep your secrets. They know your meaning. Their beauty and history are just a plus. Lockets began to appear in Europe sometime during the 16th century. They were worn to hide good luck charms, perfume, or tiny love letters. The popularity of lockets spread to the middle class where they were given as gifts within a gift, with a painted portrait of a lover’s eye, a small note, or a private token, tucked clandestinely inside.

She’s standing on the platform, waiting for her train. The relentless rain finally stops after a morning of storms, so she steps forward into the rays of sunlight gladly bursting through the clouds. Her long coat is beginning to become too warm, so she unbuttons it, letting cool air rush in. Around her neck is a locket that she grabs, sliding it open, gazing at a sepia photograph for only a moment before flipping the mirror side to her face. She reapplies her lipstick and tucks a few stray hairs back into place. She closes her eyes, feeling the sun’s warmth, listening for the faraway train, picturing the wheat fields of her childhood farm blowing in the morning breeze.
