Joe’s Special Box – Volume 117

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

There’s no doubt – when most people think about antique jewelry, the style that comes to mind is white gold filigree.  More often than not, it’s an Edwardian or Art Deco ring.  However, some of the finest and most beautiful pieces that were created in the first three decades of the 20th century were not rings.  The 1930’s gave us some truly iconic arm candy…  I’m not talking about Fred Astaire or Humphrey Bogart, but rather this pair of stunning bracelets.

A thin layer of platinum has been applied to a 14 karat white gold framework in this late Art Deco masterpiece.  Expertly crafted from fourteen links of three different styles, this detailed filigree work is everything.  The close-up photo showcases how truly intricate this particular pattern is…  handmade lace at its finest.  Each of the three smallest links have a tiny round diamond winking from the center.  Nestled within the filigree of the adjacent links are bright blue pear-shaped synthetic sapphires, set east/west style.  The bracelet measures nearly half an inch in width, making a true statement on the wrist for just $2,700.00.

Of the two, I have a slight preference for this gem.  Made from 14 karat white gold with two rows of twenty-four links, this little darling is a decadent dreamboat of deliciousness.  I love the pattern of the filigree – it reminds me of little leaves.  Interspersed within are bright pops of color and tiny bits of sparkle; there are six French cut synthetic sapphires and four single cut diamonds.  Every edge, line and swirl of this bracelet has been accented by milgrain beading…  even the sides!  These small details are just thing to elevate this bracelet from ordinary to extraordinary.  Make this one yours for just $2,950.00.

Baubles, Bling and Twinning Things

♥”When counting my blessings, I count my mother twice.” ♥

I talk to my mom nearly every single day, sometimes more than once.  I call her as much as she calls me.  We laugh and chat about everything…  from the most mundane details of daily life to the heart-stopping fears that only a mother can understand.  And in between phone calls are a million texts, memes, and Facebook posts.  She’s the best, bar none.  

We’re like two peas in a pod, more alike with each passing year.  I thank God for her every day.  On Sunday, we’ll get together (SO excited that our area has moved into the yellow phase of social distancing) to celebrate our family.  The only thing she ever asks for is the gift of time, which I am happy to give.  

Perhaps someday I will be able to present her something momentous…  like half of this pair of nearly identical Art Deco bracelets.  Surely this dazzling duo was meant to be worn by a mother and daughter, don’t you think?  

Both of these beauties are handcrafted from an unbeatable combination of white gold and platinum.  One large open-culet marquise cut diamond sits center stage in each piece; weighing approximately 2.73 carats and 2.79 carats respectively.  The remaining links are comprised of fancy cut black onyx.  The subtle shine of these opaque stones is further enhanced by artfully engraved patterns etched into the side of each link.  

Make this Mother’s Day epic and take one or both of these stunners home today.  Individually priced at $8,450 and $9,500.  Call us at 800-747-7552… with overnight shipping, you’ll have it just in time!
