Baubles, Bling and Turquoise Things

With over 112,455 posts, #Turquoisetuesday has become quite a popular trend on Instagram.  On the third day of the week, my feed is guaranteed to be filled with picture upon picture of this captivating bold blue gem.  Occasionally, Dana and I hop on board… sharing some of our favorite turquoise Joden finds.  

And then we uncovered this beauty.  Too special to be identified by a simple hashtag, this baby was destined to be a blog all on its own.  Ethereal elegance exudes from this lovely Edwardian bracelet. 

Seven inches in length, platinum from end to end, this dainty line of twelve leaf-like links create romantic ambiance.  Each one is hand-set with eleven rose cut diamonds.  These 132 gems have a combined weight of 1.00 carat.  Set back to back, each pair features a bezel set European cut diamond in the center (six stones in all) for an additional .90 carat.  

Jewelry was the finishing touch of every Edwardian’s wardrobe.  This opulent era was noted for delicate designs and a predominantly white appearance – platinum, white gold, diamonds and pearls.  That’s what sets our bracelet apart from so many others…  it presents a pop of color!  Six cabochon Persian turquoise beads are interspersed between the diamond links.  Each bold blue stone presents with a high polish finish, shining nearly as bright as the diamonds. 

Made in 1905, this Edwardian enchantress is in near perfect condition…  almost like it was never worn.  What a travesty that would be!  Jewelry was never intended to be left in the safe deposit box, your jewelry box or the package it came in.  Jewelry is meant to be worn and appreciated, created and given to bring joy.  Put a little happiness into your day with this bracelet for just $5,850.00.  

**Psst!  Call for additional details, this beauty isn’t on our website yet!**

Baubles, Bling and Art Deco Things

Edwardian or Art Deco?  The answer is a little of both…  measuring 7.25 inches, this crossover bracelet is absolutely amazing!  Articulated links alternate – first, a diamond encrusted open-centered oval and then an elongated link featuring a honey-comb pattern.  A push clasp hides seamlessly within the last link, creating an endless display of brilliance around the wrist.  

A wisp of color pops from the middle of four segments…  natural square-cut emeralds.  These bright beauties have a combined weight of 1.00 carat and draw the eye, adding yet another layer of dimension to this gem.  Crafted somewhere between 1918-1920, this late Edwardian or early Art Deco bracelet has enchanted me.  

 

The curved lines and lace-like appearance of the very early 1900’s combine with the geometric, symmetrical style of the following decade.  The Edwardian Era (1901-1910) heavily influenced Art Deco design – jewelry from both eras was predominately platinum.  It was the metal of choice due to it’s strength, lasting luster, and malleability.  Hand-set with diamonds, each individual setting is lined with tiny beads – a technique called milgrain.  Yet another commonality between the two periods.  

There are one hundred and eighty old cut diamonds enveloping the entire length of the piece.  Each one is bead set with a total weight of 2.25 carats.  Art Deco emerged in 1925, although pieces can be found as early as 1920.  Though it can be difficult to determine the exact age of a piece, the quality of fine period jewelry speaks for itself.  No artistic movement since Art Deco has so completely captivated the world.  The creativity and spirit of the period continues to endure.  Own this iconic piece of arm candy for just $8,800.00.

Joe’s Special Box – Volume 101

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

February 22, 1732 is George Washington’s birthday.  Perhaps the most recognized politician, he was our first President; he served two terms from 1789-1797.  A prominent military man, Washington is considered by many to be the father of the United States.  

Americans began celebrating the life and work of George Washington in 1885, recognizing his birthday as a federal holiday.  Our nations capital is named for him as well as at least three universities.  He appears on Mount Rushmore, the $1 bill and the quarter dollar coin.  

In 1971, the celebration was moved to the third Monday of February and became known as President’s Day, allowing us to honor not only George Washington but all the remarkable men who have served our great country.

We are commemorating this momentous day with a stunning Edwardian bracelet.  A conical cabochon sapphire sits center stage in this early 1900’s gem.  The rich blue tone of the stone is accentuated by a rose cut diamond halo that completely surrounds it.  Six natural pearls cascade from the center down each shoulder.  In classic Edwardian style, the bracelet is constructed from an 18 karat yellow gold base with a layer of platinum on top giving it time-honored appeal.  

The quality and craftsmanship of this bracelet are superb.  In pristine condition, and priced at $3,250, it’s the perfect accessory for President’s Day.
