Reserved~1940s Baroque Pearl and Gemstone Rooster Brooch in 18 Karat Gold
Sold Out $ 9,000.00
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.

I was taken in by the beguiling gem at the heart of this fabulous solitaire ring. It shimmers and sparkles with every move of the hand. The color changes from richest orange to salmon pink and back again depending on the light of the day.
This hand crafted estate ring is fully hallmarked and was made in Birmingham, England in 2006, practically a baby by my standards! The lovely setting has two little leaves on either side of the four prong mounted stone. The stone itself measures 9.1x7.2x5.4 mm and weighs approximately 2.85 carats. This is a wonderfully clean stone with just one small feather inclusion visible with magnification. The ring is marked with the marks for Birmingham, England, 2006, and 18 karat (white) gold. The ring is a size 6.25 US and could be re-sized to suit.
This bright and lively ring would make a stunning engagement ring for anyone looking for an alternative to a diamond.

Edwardian Sapphire Pearl Pendant Necklace 15k Gold
$ 1,573.00 $ 1,850.00
1911: Dressing for dinner was always a bit of an affair. She didn’t mind, picking the dress, the hairdo, the gloves, shoes and most especially the jewels. Sometimes she chose the jewels to match her dress, but tonight she would chose a dress to match the wonderful new necklace that her husband had just brought her from London. She chose a high waisted dress in rich blue with a pale embroiled gold overlay and golden silk gloves that went above the elbow, had her ladies made put he hair up high in back and paired the new necklace with pearl ear bobs that her husband had given her just before they were married. She knew he’d notice, he was just like that, always doing little things to make her happy.
This wonderful pendant has such Edwardian flair. I picture it brand new at an elaborate dinner, the table set with porcelain and candelabras, the wine glasses full, the silverware laid out five places deep on either side of your plate. It’s such a charmer, larger than most and set with five bright sparkling sapphire gems and twelve creamy white pearls. The pattern shows the beginning of Art Deco geometry sneaking in, but is still squarely Edwardian. Made in about 1910 in England of 15 karat gold, it is marked on the reverse with ’15ct’ for 15 karat gold. The pendant measures 34.2 mm from top to bottom and 25.5 mm across, it comes with the chain that I purchased it with, I don’t know if it’s original but it’s the right period and hand crafted, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d been together a long time. The chain is 18 3/4 inches long and is marked with ’15c’ and a makers mark of ‘CDB’. It weighs 8.3 grams.

Sunlight streamed through the curtains and landed on the couch where they sat. It was early in the morning and their coffee was still brewing. They read the newspaper together and silently switched sections, without words. When he handed her the business section she found a note taped to the top of the page. In black sharpie it read, “Marry me?” She looked over at him. He held out a ring with sapphires and diamonds, glowing in the morning light, and he raised an eyebrow.
