Important Jewels

Here is a wonderful and cheeky rooster who is beautifully hand crafted. The body of the bird is created from a large, natural, Baroque Pearl. His tail is set with a spray of rubies, diamonds and sapphires; and his head is further set with rubies, sapphires and emeralds. The brooch is fully engraved with fanciful and realistic details down to the toes on its perfect little feet.

This piece is marked on the back of the leg, but I was not able to make these marks out. It was most likely made in France in the 1940s, at a time when these brooches were highly desirable and created by many of the important jewelry houses. Buccellati, Cartier, Yard and Tiffany all crafted brooches in this genre, many with a pearl as the central body of the animal. It's quite possible this brooch was created by one of these important houses. It's beautifully crafted, note how the back is left open to reveal the back of this magnificent, 60 carat natural pearl.

The body of this piece tests as 18 karat gold and the diamonds are set in platinum. The pin stem has a trombone style clasp. The brooch measures 55 x 53x 17 mm and weighs 21.56 grams.

This piece has been expertly appraised by an independent appraiser and has a value of $15,000. Please inquire for a full copy of the detailed appraisal.

My heart belongs to the Roaring Twenties. Between F. Scott Fitzgerald, T.S. Eliot, Louis Armstrong, and the Charleston, I know I was born decades too late. Ladies donned flapper dresses with t-strap heals and beaded headbands. Jewelry was minimal, so they had to make it count. I would have worn a long pearl necklace to accentuate my bob and on my hand would be this dazzling ring, sparkling as I adjust my silk fringe wrap.

Just because something is pious doesn’t mean that it can’t also be beautiful. After all, Art and Religion have been intertwined for as long as either one has existed. Art museums are filled with religious icons of gold and gems and the churches and cathedrals of Europe are still some of the best places to view art and architecture. The Vatican itself houses one of the best collections of art in the world; all you need do is look up inside the Sistine Chapel to see this. Popes throughout history commissioned some of the best art we have ever known. (With extra thanks to Julius II for letting Michelangelo loose with a brush).

This fantastically conceived antique Edwardian cross is further proof of the link. Fully hand crafted in 18 karat gold and platinum topped, this cross is set 12 Old European cut diamonds and 32 rose cuts giving it the appeal of a candlelit cathedral. The full cut diamonds add up to about 1.45 carats total weight. This largish cross measures 62 mm north to south include the diamond set top bale and 34.1 mm across and it weighs 5.4 grams. This fabulous cross is unmarked but has been acid tested to verify the content.

Art, religion, faith, beauty, a righteous combination.

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.’

This stunning gold chain was handcrafted in France around 1900. It’s an extraordinary 47 inches in length with a fairly light weight of 35.2 grams. This piece was originally a watch chain and can now be strung around the neck or wrist over and over again for that timeless layered look. Each large swirling link measures 7.2 x 14 mm. It has been acid tested at 18 karat gold. It bears the hallmark, “SGOG” and it has a French maker’s mark.

Dress up without dressing up in this gold swirl chain. It’s an antique piece that will bring a new dimension to your wardrobe. Really, it’s all you’ll need.

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!

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.

This antique diamond and pearl crescent moon brooch sparkles with light. It was handcrafted in France around 1880. It’s decorated with six Old European cut diamonds patterned among nine pearls, set in silver over 18 karat gold. Each of the larger pearls measure 3.5 mm in diameter. The diamonds weigh approximately 1.32 total carats. This beautiful pin measures 32.4 x 34 mm and it weighs 9.5 grams. It bears French marks on the pin stem and has been acid tested.

Let this crescent moon brooch light up your lapel with its glittery diamonds and shiny white pearls.

It’s the most flattering of accessories one can drape around the neck, accentuating curves, giving glint where it should be given, like the nape of the neck and the edge of the collarbone. It’s almost risqué, how silky the rich gold hangs, so exquisitely timeless. I know you know what I mean. It’s electric, mysterious even, at least to the rest of them. They’ll ask you about it, I’m sure, wondering what lengths you had to go to. How shall you respond? With a glance that says, “A lady never tells.”

This antique gold chain was handcrafted in France around 1880. It measures a lengthy 52 inches and weighs 26.7 grams.

Curiouser and curiouser. Reminiscent of a demon with its haunting red eyes, but also suggestive of a soothsayer with its long beard and mysterious existence. It’s rings like this that capture my imagination and make me wonder the most wondrous of things. I found this interesting bauble in Amsterdam a few weeks ago.

It didn’t take me long until I had a handful of goodies, including this intriguing charmer.

Wear a little mystery on your finger! I love this fabulous little bauble and I just know you will, too.

Old cut diamonds can be dangerous. The more of them you see, the more of them you desire to own. Whereas modern brilliant cut diamonds can be nice and sparkly, old European cuts like these are more like individual works of art. Stones like these were hand cut by craftsmen who spent decades learning their craft. These cutters used no computers, no lasers, they used their eyes, their experience and their hands, often cutting with tools they had made themselves. The result is a diamond with a uniqueness of character that simply cannot be found in todays modern cut stones. This ring showcases five old European cut diamonds with large cut facets that cause it to flash with slow and stunning sparks of colorful fire.

This beautifully hand crafted 5 stone diamond ring is set with a stunning array of sparkling gems. The five larger stones are all old European cut diamonds, the center weighs approximately .75 carats and the close sides are about .45 carats each, the outside two are approximately .2 carats each. In between each larger diamond are rose cut diamonds to give the ring the look of a solid line of sparkling diamond. The diamond weight on this ring totals approximately 2.1 carats. This ring measures 5.7 mm north to south and 20 mm across, it sits 4.4 mm off the finger. This ring is a size 4.75 and weighs 3.1 grams. The ring is made of 18 karat gold and bears no hallmarks, it has been acid tested to verify the gold content.

This gorgeous ring was most likely made in England around 1890.

Are you nervous? Don’t be, just relax and pour the champagne. She’ll say yes, you know she will. You’ve known it in deep in you soul since the moment you laid eyes on her.

I arrived early in the morning at my friends shop in East London. He unlocked the door for me and I handed him a white tea with four sugars, he grinned. We spent the next several hours shooting the breeze and enjoying each others company as we delved into his cases and looked at fantastic jewels. I was just about to walk out the door, coat on, money exchanged, hugs given, when I spotted this ring in the corner of a case by the front door. Well, I just had to turn around and declare that our visit wasn’t yet done. This ring, this ring I simply had to have.

The Arts and Crafts movement in England began as a response to the Industrial Revolution and the mechanization of the decorative arts. It bloomed into one of the most enduring legacies of style to come out of the 19th and 20th centuries. Something about the return to hand crafting and the motifs of the natural world speaks to the very root of human nature.

This wonderful brooch was handcrafted in London around 1900-10, and was most likely done by Henry George Murphy. Anchored by a beautiful large opal gem, this brooch is framed in 15 karat gold with a scroll and foliate design. This rectangular brooch holds a large cabochon precious opal which measures 30 x 20 x 7 mm and weighs approximately 23 carats. Precious opals are known for their diffraction of light, called ‘play of color’, in which rainbow colors shine from inside the stone like a kaleidoscope of firelight. Overall, this piece measures 39.7 x 27.6 mm and it weighs 60.8 grams. It has been acid tested. This brooch comes in an antique box which reads, “Gieves 27 Old Bond Street London, W.I.”, most likely it’s not original to the brooch but it has kept it in good order over the years.

Henry George Murphy was part of the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London and later went on to become a silversmith of some renown, working mostly in the Art Deco style.

For all occasions and even non-occasions. This brooch is sheer perfection, it gives off color no matter where you are.

They call it cat’s eye. Is this because of the fantastic color that changes from green to gold depending on the light? Or is it because the ‘eye’ seems to follow you wherever you go? Or maybe it’s just because this stone is fabulous, just like cat’s?

This cat’s eye chrysoberyl is surrounded by a halo of Old European cut diamonds, all set into a Victorian ring of 18 karat gold.

It was evening, twilight had passed, and I stepped out of the stretch limo, silk clutch in hand, lipstick in place. I was dressed to the nines. I’m talking stilettos, smoky eyes, soft blue gown of tulle and lace, a few thin platinum diamond bands and this necklace. There was a red carpet and cameras and onlookers. But I wasn’t paying all that much attention. I walked the line, stopping where I heard my name, never smiling at the camera. Until one of the photographers asked if it was Edwardian.

“You know your stuff, my dear.”

“It pops like a firework, Victoria.”

“It’s fire.”

I grinned, she snapped the picture, I continued on to the champagne and caviar.

This breathtaking Edwardian beauty was handcrafted around 1915. It’s a necklace smothered in elegance as it showcases 62 diamonds on a floral motif. There are 25 full-cut diamonds and 37 rose-cut diamonds. The full-cuts stones add up to approximately 1.25 carats total weight. The largest full-cut stone sits at the center and measures 4.8 x 4.9 x 2.9 mm, weighing approximately .45 carats. This endlessly sparkling necklace measures 16.25 inches in length and it weighs 7.8 grams. The drop measures 39 mm north to south and 29.4 mm across. This piece bears the horse head mark - a Polish import mark. It also bears a star mark and the number “950” indicating this piece was made in platinum. It has a 14-karat gold box barrel clasp and has been acid tested.

Make all your dreams come true with this jaw-dropping necklace. It’s truly a masterpiece that you get to wear around your neck whenever your heart desires.

There’s a joke about Wisconsin that goes like this: “Welcome to Wisconsin, where we have two seasons, Winter and ‘the other season’ ”. It’s true, winters here do seem to drag on a little too long and take up half the year. And while the winter here is beautiful I find that every once in while I have to hop on a plane and land somewhere (anywhere) lush and green. Just filling my eyes with the rich greens of the tropics does wonders for getting me through until May when the green starts edging back into my landscape. And in between trips to green places, I just pop on a ring like this, I find that a luscious emerald has the same effect on my psyche as a nice long walk in the jungle.

This fantastic diamond and emerald cluster ring showcases an Emerald cut emerald which measures 11.3 x 7 x 4.5 mm and weighs approximately 2.46 carats. The emerald is surrounded with a rectangular frame of Old European Cut diamonds; ten diamonds of .15 carats each are interspersed with twenty smaller .02 carat stones for a total diamond weight of approximately 2 carats. The ring is beautifully hand crafted in platinum with a lovely scrolling gallery underneath, it has a wonderful smooth feel and a low profile. This ring measures 18.8 mm north to south and 14.4 mm across and it sits 5.6 mm off the finger. This ring has some marks but I wasn’t able to sort out what they were because they’re a bit worn, it was certainly made in about 1910 and is European in origin. The ring is a size 6.75 and weighs 5.8 grams.

They called it 'La Belle Époque', translated as ‘the Beautiful Era’, and it's as well they should have. From about 1871 to the beginning of World War I in 1914, peace and prosperity flourished throughout Europe and especially settled in France and England. The arts flourished, money flew, it was truly a golden age. This ring was made then, there, in that Paris of the early 20th century, amidst that optimism, that joie de vivre!

Completely hand crafted by a master of the art, this ring is a modified target type ring, set with row upon alternating row of glittering white diamonds and rich blue sapphires. The 17 diamonds add up to about 1.2 carats in total and the two rings of calibre cut sapphire are about .7 carats total. The ring is 18 karat gold in the back and the top stones are all set in platinum, this kind of 18 karat and platinum construction is very typical of the Belle Époque (which corresponds to the English Edwardian Era), as jewelers didn't really start using all platinum construction until the 1920's (with some exceptions). This ring has a fairly worn hallmark, but it is the eagles head assay mark which tells us that it is French and contains 18k gold. The ring is currently a size 7 and measures 20 mm north to south and 14.5 mm across, it sits 5 mm off the finger and narrows to 1.3 mm at the back of the band. Made in Paris, France around 1910.

This beautiful ring from the beautiful era would make a precious gift for any occasion or a stunning right hand ring that could be worn from blue-jeans to ball gowns!
