Baubles, Bling, and The Latest Things

A perfect square tipped on it’s edge looks like a diamond.  This dainty brooch has taken that form in the most elegant way.  Each side of this geometric shape measures about an inch, the overall size is petite and easy to wear.  14-karat yellow gold wire-work creates an intricate pattern of swirls and whorls.  

Expertly fitted into each corner is a tiny platinum fleur-de-lis, which is French for lily flower.  There are four rose cut diamonds set within each fleur-de-lis.  These sixteen diamonds have a total weight of .15 carat.  The snow white lily represents purity and chastity.  Captivated by its hue, the Catholic church adopted the lily as a symbol for the Virgin Mary.  She has been depicted many times holding a lily.

A large round cabochon moonstone is bezel set within the center of the brooch.  Opalescent and luminous, the stone exhibits a soft glow, like a full moon in a starry night sky.  This ethereal gem is one of the most recent additions to our estate department.  Not yet on our site, this brooch is available in our store for just $1,280.00.

Pick of the Week – Volume 42

Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

There are so many reasons to LOVE this Retro two-piece.  Made from 14 karat yellow gold, this bracelet and matching earrings from the late 1940’s has such style!  High polish interlocking knots are made from six individual wires.  A perfect swirl of said wires create five identical links…  each one centered on an 8mm cabochon moonstone. These shimmery stones gleam from within the yellow gold circles.  Moonstone is celebrated for two particular phenomenons… chatoyancy (also known as the cat’s eye effect) and adularescence.  Together these two qualities give this natural gemstone the glowing moon-like appearance for which it was named.  

Between each knot-like segment are a secondary pair of linked circles…  resembling double wedding rings.  This bracelet is an endless series of entwined loops that results in a look somehow managing to be intricately superb and sublimely simple at the same time.  

Clasp the bracelet on with the matching earrings to embrace the total package.  This mini-suite is from our estate department – another reason to love it.  Estate jewelry often offers superior craftsmanship, unique style and real value.  Pre-owned is pre-loved!

Pick of the Week – Volume 17

Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

Is your head in the clouds?  Are you bewitched by the light of the silvery moon?  If you answered yes, then you are on trend for the 2020 fall season.  Audiences of every age are captivated by all things celestial…  crescent moons, suns and stars!  These ethereal gems are certainly bringing the heat this year – but perhaps you were already a fan.  Our Pick of the Week will have you requesting “Beam Me Up“!

 

This late Victorian pendant centers on a luminescent oval-shaped moonstone, cut en cabochon.  Folklore abounds regarding this shimmering stone.  Some claim that it can solidify an amorous liaison while others boast of it’s talismanic properties… providing protection, health, and good fortune.  

Superstition aside, there’s no doubt about the allure of moonstone.  It is one of the most requested gems in our inventory – unfortunately, very little of it is available.  The appeal lies within two unique characteristics…  adularescence and chatoyancy.  Combined, these two phenomena create a dazzling effect that is hard to resist.  

The moonstone center is beautifully enhanced by concentric borders of both enameled designs as well as intricate metal work.  There are three oval rings, the first one (closest to the center) features a two tone light and dark blue pattern.  The second ring is a band of hand cut azures with black and white enamel enhancement and the final ring is a soft blue with tiny golden dots.  It’s reminiscent of the works of the esteemed Carlo Giuliano.  

Previously priced at $6,750.00

NEW UNBELIEVABLE PRICE:  $4,800.00
