Baubles, Bling and Quality Things

Just about a month ago, I shared an emerald ring that you guys went crazy for… in fact, the ring sold within a couple hours of being posted!  It was an asymmetrical beauty with a leafy branch above a soft green emerald gemstone. 

I couldn’t resist the opportunity to introduce these earrings – they remind me so much of that ring.  Made by famed designer Effy, the earrings are 14-karat white gold.  Each one features an emerald cut emerald in the center – combined, these two gems have a total weight of approximately 1.80 carats.  These emeralds offer a stunning deep green hue that is simply beautiful.

The style of the earring is a bit like a picture frame…  there are two cushion-shaped halos that encircle the emerald and also create the outer edge of the earring.  A vine of diamond leaves fill in the space between.  This complete section dangles from a small hoop that is also decorated with round diamonds.  There are 224 of these little sparklers with total weight of 1.75 carats.  

Shown from behind, the craftsmanship shines.  Every single stone has a precise hole underneath – these holes allow valuable access to the underside of the gems.  Dirt (soap and oil) can accumulate in and around stones.  Being able to clean out this debris will restore the true beauty and sparkle of the piece. 

Here, Amy models these Effy enchantresses.  The size is perfect and very wearable.  This is an earring that you can pair with everything from jeans to a cocktail dress.  They are the latest addition to our estate department and are available now for just $2,800.00.  Call or stop by to make them yours.

Baubles, Bling and Emerald Things

If you ask someone what their favorite piece of jewelry is, 99% of the time, it will be a ring.  Diamond rings, colored stones, shiny gold bands – pick your poison…  we have an unbeatable selection.  These bits of finger bling elicit “oohs”, “aahs”, and countless smiles.  With Christmas right around the corner, we have been VERY busy making sure that each case is brimming with an irresistible selection.

Art Deco (the years between 1915-1935) is the most popular era.  Moving ahead from the lacy and feminine feel of Edwardian jewelry, Art Deco offered a modernist vibe.  Sleek and often geometric designs showcased dazzling diamonds and occasionally a tiny pop of color.  In the past few weeks, we have added more than fifty vintage rings to our Deco display, including this little charmer. 

Made from 18-karat white gold, this ring offers a softly rounded silhouette complete with milgrain borders and a touch of engraving.  The center features one round diamond nestled within a hexagon-shaped setting, two additional round diamonds are situated on either side.  These three stones have a combined weight of .65 carat.  Eight more diamonds decorate the outer edges and shoulders of the ring bringing an additional .35 carat of sparkle.  

Set between the three main diamonds are four triangular emeralds.  These bright green gems are oriented point to point, adding to the classic geometric feel of this Art Deco dream.  I’m usually a sucker for sapphires…  but recently, I have been drawn to these bright beryl beauties.  Priced at just $1,750.00 – this sweet little ring is in very good condition.  If you’ve been wanting to add some green under your tree, this ring is the perfect choice!

What’s New – Vol. 51

Baubles, Bling and the Latest Things

Mid-Century Modern design is rapidly gaining popularity.  The design aesthetic from the 1950’s and 1960’s encompassed everything from home decor to jewelry accessories.  The sputnik-like light fixtures and iconic wooden furniture from those decades is highly sought after and commands big prices.  

This beauty is a stellar example of fine jewelry from that era.  The influence of the 1940’s is strong except that this ring is made entirely of platinum – a metal that was unavailable to jewelers during the war years.  A decidedly refined Retro vibe radiates from this little ring.  Asymmetrical style appeals to me – I love the luxurious unbalanced panache.

Thirty round diamonds have been pavé set along one side while a playful spray of five straight baguette diamonds burst from the other.  These thirty-five diamonds offer a full carat of dazzling sparkle.  That three-pronged spray juts flawlessly off the hand when this diminutive charmer is worn on a pinky finger.  

If you are as smitten with this Mid-Century ring as I am – stop by the store and try it for yourself.  It’s available now for $2,650.00.
