Christmas 2025 is shaping up to be an earring year. Early holiday shoppers are trickling through the door; earrings are at the top of their lists! Whether they be bold gold hoops, classic huggies or dazzling diamond studs – Santa is sure to be bringing the bling. Earrings are a perfect go-to gift, no matter if you’re the giver or the receiver.

Need something for your bestie – earrings!
A Secret Santa gift for the new girl – earrings!
A commitment-free gift that is sure to please – earrings!
Something sweet for your sister – earrings!

I could go on and on. There are very few ladies who don’t love earrings (even those without pierced ears – we have a great selection of non-pierced beauties). Antique earrings are always in demand and sell nearly as quickly as we post them. Dana and I nab them as soon as we see them!

These Victorian earbobs were made from a rosy shade of 18-karat gold and feature a matched pair of oval citrine gems. Shimmering with a deep orange glow, these two stones have a combined weight of approximately 4.00 carats. Looking very much like the spokes on a ship’s wheel, each citrine is surrounded by a series of seven sapphires. Each single-cut gemstone is bezel-set. Small but mighty, these bright blue gems have a total weight of .50 carat. A singular diamond sits at the top of each wheel – also bezel-set.

The hinged back of each earring showcases a beautiful engraved pattern. Not fancy, they’re perfect for daily wear. Slip them on in the morning with jeans and a sweater; keep them on later with a dress and heels. These classic antique earrings, made in the late 1800’s, are every bit as stylish today as they were then. Make them yours for just $1,250.00.

Baubles, Bling and Discounted Things

The holiday season is upon us; many begin their own Christmas celebrations on the 1st of November. The festivities are sure to include parties and gift-giving. Today’s Pick of the Week would be ideal for either or both of those two things.

Made of 18-karat white gold, measuring more than three inches in length and extending nearly to the shoulder – these are true statement earrings. They’re ostentatious, outrageous and audacious. Many would not dare wear something so bold… but a select few would not only don them for every momentous occasion but also for no occasion at all. In fact, if you’re not careful, these are the very kind of earrings that can end up wearing you instead of the other way around. Confidence and a lot of swagger is required.

A kaleidoscope of pretty pastels, the earrings contain twelve pale blue aquamarines, ten soft pink morganite gems, two luscious South Sea pearls and two-hundred-forty round brilliant diamonds. Set in pavè fashion, these sparklers offer 7.83 carats of twinkling brilliance. These show-stoppers were listed on our site for a cool $15K. Today, we’re offering them at a special holiday price of $11,800.00. If the only thing that outshines these earrings is a healthy ego – hop over to our site and make them yours.

Birthstone Bauble

Baubles, Bling and Interesting Things

People are a little bit quirky about birthstones. Some people like them; some don’t. Adding to the mystique surrounding them are many superstitions associated with the sparkling beauties that mark each month. On the up side, it is believed that good luck, happiness, health and prosperity will be given to those wearing their own birthstone. On the opposite side, many believe that it is bad luck to wear a birthstone that isn’t yours. This particular omen seems to follow opal more than any other gem. Certainly, some birthstones are more popular than others. Having been a part of the jewelry industry for so long, I would say that April, May, July and September have a higher approval rating than August, November and December… until recent years. I can’t explain it, but citrine (November’s stone) has skyrocketed in favor over the past few years.

Perhaps the rise in popularity of the warm, sunny citrine is a direct correlation to our vast collection of antique and estate jewelry. A popular choice during the Victorian era, citrine was a star player in exceptional pieces like this. Simple and elegant, this late Victorian necklace is made from yellow gold and highlights a single deep gold citrine at the center.

Garlands of cable-link chain extend from the center, looping down and back up, creating a soft, feminine feel. Three individual drops descent from the center, the one in the middle longer than the other two. Each one ends in a briolette cut citrine gem. Faceted the entire way around, these stones sparkle and shine with every turn.

Adding to the ethereal appearance of this late 19th century beauty are nine creamy white seed pearls. They mark each direction of the center – north, south, east and west. They also notate the two places where the separate lengths of chain come together and the middle point of each drop. In all, this antique example is in excellent condition and would make a stellar gift for anyone… whether they were born in November or not. If you’re admiring it for yourself, it’s available for just $2,150.00.
