The price of gold skyrocketing to higher and higher heights each day. In fact, the only thing growing faster than the price of gold is the demand for gold jewelry. As we inch closer to the biggest gift-giving holiday of the year, there’s no question that by December 24th, we will have boxed and sold more yellow gold jewelry than in the past twenty years. Rope chains, cross pendants, link bracelets, hoop earrings, wedding bands and more will have been carefully selected for that special someone.

Gold is enduring. It warms to the touch. Gold is timeless. To give a gift of gold is to create an heirloom of the future. Not only will the recipient treasure the gift, but you will be able to enjoy your gift being worn and loved. A recent acquisition, this bracelet is very gift-worthy.

Measuring 7.25 inches from end to end, this curb link bracelet is golden elegance. Centered in the middle of the thirty-six links is an oval-shaped section. Bezel set within the oval is a cabochon ruby. This deep red gemstone weighs approximately 1.25 carats. Nestled within the bezel are four round brilliant diamonds. Located to either side of the center are two identical links, one with a cabochon emerald center and one with a cabochon sapphire center. Each of these gemstones also weigh approximately 1.25 carats. Combined, the twelve diamonds have a total weight of .18 carat.

Suitable for frequent wear, this golden beauty is priced at $2,200.00… a generous gift by anyone’s standards. This and so much more can be found on our website and in our store.

Baubles, Bling and Quality Things

The tradition of gifting bouquets of flowers dates back thousands of years. The ancient societies of the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians used flowers to help tell a story, as decorations in ceremonies and also to show love and affection. These traditions have remained. In fact, they’ve been adopted all around the world.

Victorians even went so far as to use flowers to convey discreet messages. Some thoughts and feelings were sent simply by the color of the blossom… red for passion and love, pink for grace and innocence, yellow for friendship and white for purity. More definitive feelings were emoted by specific buds… daffodils for unrequited love, violets for faithfulness, honeysuckle for devoted affection, and even basil for hatred.

One thing that all of those blossoms have in common is that in due time, they wither and eventually die. There is not a single botanical bud that can live forever. Perhaps that’s why many artisans have created breathtaking pieces of jewelry that showcase flowers.

This recent acquisition by the iconic Tiffany & Co. is one of the loveliest I have ever seen. Made from a beautiful combination of 18-karat yellow gold and platinum, this bouquet brings together three of the same flower. Devoid of leaves, it’s a simple trio of bursting blooms and sleek stems. Each flower is a round cluster of twenty-eight volute-shaped petals. Nestled deep with the center of the blossom is a singular round brilliant diamond surrounded by six sapphires. Combined, the three diamonds offer .12 carat of shimmering sparkle while the eighteen sapphires have a total weight of .90 carat. Small in size, this beauty can be worn with anything. Pair it with your favorite jeans, clasp it onto a silken scarf, or even clip it to a cable-knit beanie. There are as many options as there are flowers in a field.

If you’ve always wanted to give a bouquet of flowers that would last forever, what better way than with this charming brooch. Classically casual and stylishly chic, it’s priced at a bit more than a dozen roses… you can pin these flowers to your lapel for just $1,680.00. Make it yours by visiting our website or stopping by our 144 South Broad Street showroom.

One of the hottest trends with real staying power is the celestial theme. Give me all the moons, stars and everything in between. Whether it be a Victorian crescent moon stick pin or a killer pair of modern diamond star earrings – customers are crazy every single bit. So, when I stumbled over this starburst pendant, I was hooked.

Showcasing the best that the Mid Century Modern era has to offer, this petite starburst pendant is SO good. Even in a piece this small, the quality and the craftsmanship is undeniable. A singular diamond winks from the center of a star with eighteen individual rays. This bright round brilliant diamond weighs approximately .15 carat. With a color grade of F, and a clarity grade of VS2 – this tiny sparkler truly shines.

The starburst itself is made from 18-karat yellow gold while the 16-inch chain that it is suspended from is made from 14-karat yellow gold. Both pieces are signed by the same designer, a standout from the Mid Century period… Jabel. An iconic designer that got their start in 1916, Jabel is still in business today. Known for stellar quality, Jabel pieces stand out in a sea of cheap imitations.

Nab this gem for just $750.00 – and you will find yourself wearing it every single day. It’s perfect with jeans and a t-shirt. It’s great with a sweater. It stacks beautifully with all your favorites, but is still perfect on its own. This pendant is a burst of joy on an ordinary day – make it yours today.
