Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

This special edition of our weekly blog postings is reserved for true treasures that have been a part of our collection for an extended period of time. These old favorites have long been overlooked for one reason or another. This week’s selection is so lovely, I cannot fathom why we still have it. In fact, I’m completely mystified.

Albeit sizable, this Edwardian pendant offers ethereal charm from every angle. Because it was created from platinum, a dense and very ductile precious metal, the artist was able to achieve a light and airy framework. Platinum, strong and malleable, was the only choice to craft the delicate, lacy patterns that early 20th century jewelry was known for. Studying the pendant from behind, there is no doubt that the framework was made specifically for a uniquely cut gem.

The overall shape of the pendant resembles a heart (minus the divot at the top) with swirling vines and scintillating sparkle. Seventy-three rose cut diamonds are sprinkled throughout the filigree frame; combined, these diamonds have a total weight of 1.25 carats. As I mentioned before, this framework was made with a very specifically-shaped spot in the center… the hexagonal hole has been set with a deep purple step-cut amethyst. The color of royalty and weighing approximately 25.00 carats, this gemstone is the crowning glory of this Edwardian pendant.

We have had this beauty for some time, in fact, I blogged about it once before in a post titled “Feeling Fancy Friday“. We have paired it with a vintage 14-karat white gold chain that measures 24-inches in length. The chain features an alternating pattern of elongated open links and oval links with scrolled centers. The pendant could also be worn on a short chain for an evening look. It’s hard to believe that no one has snagged this antique treasure! The only objection I can imagine anyone making would be the price. And so, we’ve decided to remedy that. Previously available on our site for $5,650.00, we are now offering it for just $4,750.00! If you’ve had your eye on this old favorite, now is the time to make it yours. ♥

Baubles, Bling and the Finer Things

After months of staying home, and for many of us – working from home with nothing to do but migrate from the kitchen to the family room… we are finally able to go out and enjoy dinner in a restaurant. This simple pleasure that we once took for granted now feels luxurious. It just might get us out of our pajama pants and into something a bit more special (real pants… with a belt? What?!?)

If you’re making weekend plans that include leaving the house and perhaps even a pair of heels… then this piece is a MUST HAVE. It’s Edwardian finery at it’s absolute best with high-end craftsmanship that is simply impossible to find in modern jewelry.

The overall shape resembles a modified heart with softly rounded edges and an exaggerated point at the bottom. Made entirely of platinum, this pendant features lacy details that create an opulent setting. Tiny curved wires form the base upon which the vines and leaves are set. There are seventy-three individual rose cut diamonds nestled into each delicate curl giving this ethereal masterpiece a decidedly botanical appeal.

A bold center stone presents an unexpected surprise. Most Edwardian jewelry is subtle and understated, commonly set with white diamonds and pearls for a monochromatic look. With rich purple hues and six sharp angles, this hexagonal amethyst is exactly what you need in your life. This early 20th century beauty combines the best of both worlds, offering antique details and vibrant hues. The color of royalty, amethyst is the birthstone for February. But let’s not limit it – this gem is ideal for anyone audacious enough to wear it!

If you’ve visited our showroom in downtown Grove City, you may have spied this stunner in our Art Deco case. It’s a wonderful crossover piece. Call it late Edwardian or early Art Deco. We prefer that you call it yours! It pairs perfectly with virtually any ensemble – casual or fancy. Versatility is key in today’s world – wear this on a short chain at the base of your throat or style it on a long chain. The intense color of the amethyst would make this an ideal addition to your favorite neck mess. The possibilities are as endless as your imagination.

Originally priced at $7,650.00 – this plush purple pendant is now enjoying a $2000 price drop!

Take it home now for just $5,650.00!
