Storage.  Although it seems silly, adequate storage is an essential element of a well-organized, happy and healthy life.  There are entire companies dedicated to storage – some address it from an efficiency standpoint while others prefer an aesthetic approach.  Banks have vaults; houses and hotels are often equipped with safes.  Potential home buyers and realtors alike spend countless hours comparing the amount, size and location of every closet, cabinet and cubby within each dwelling.  Our clothes have pockets.  We also have handbags, backpacks, wallets, fanny packs and luggage.  Our vehicles are fitted with cargo space, trunks, consoles and glove compartments.  Even some jewelry offers storage space…  poison rings, lachrymatories and of course…  lockets.  

With two encased pockets, this locket is capable of holding photos, a handwritten sentiment or a lock of hair.  This 14-karat yellow gold beauty was made near the end of the 1800’s in the Art Nouveau era.  Polished to a rosy glow, it features an enameled periwinkle Vinca flower on the front side.  One pearl is nestled in the center of the five petals and a second pearl marks a fresh bud. 

 

The back side of the locket has been hand-engraved with a beautiful entwined monogram…  the initials are VKS.  Each of the inner chambers is complete with the framed protective cover.  Larger than a quarter, this locket is ideally sized and perfect for photographs.  Preserve a snapshot of your spouse, partner, child, parents, or fur-baby within this golden case.  Perfectly priced at just $1,175.00 – this latest addition to our antique jewelry department is exactly the kind of storage you need in your life.  Call us today to make it yours.

What’s New – Volume 19

Sometimes, Dana and I uncover a piece that we KNOW you guys will go crazy over – mostly because we are infatuated too!  This is that moment…  the latest addition to our estate department is everything.  

Made entirely of a rich and buttery 18-karat yellow gold, this ring is absolutely charming.  A singular blossom sits atop this simple narrow band.  Fluted petals form a double-tiered flower that resembles a carnation.  Bright blue enamel coats the soft scallops with a bold pop of color.  The edges have worn, allowing the golden base to peak through…  a detail that I love.  

Authentic and original, this ring was made in the late 1800’s during the Art Nouveau period.  One tiny diamond winks from the center of the flower -it’s a single-cut diamond.  These unique cuts were popular in vintage jewelry; they have just seventeen facets as opposed to the fifty-eight facets in a modern round brilliant diamond.  

Priced at just $375 – this fresh find won’t last long.  If you love it as much as we do, hop on over to our site and make it yours now.
