Baubles, Bling and the Latest Things

Art Nouveau… these two words translate to mean new art, or a new style. The years from 1890-1910 have been dubbed the Art Nouveau period. Offering a more natural aesthetic, the era was a breath of fresh air after the Victorian years.

Telltale characteristics of Art Nouveau jewelry nearly always include curving, sinuous lines. This came to be known as the whiplash line. It suggested natural, organic movement. Whether it be in the soft waves of a woman’s hair or the botanical beauty of floral vines – the whiplash line defined the ultra feminine vibe of the time.

This stunning necklace made from the rich warm tones of 14-karat yellow gold features a curvaceous center. Twin loops form the structure which hold the entire piece together. Fringe-like dangles protrude from the midpoint and continue at regular intervals.

Each one showcases a deep purple round amethyst gemstone and a unique natural freshwater pearl. These seven strands move enticingly with the body, fulfilling the Art Nouveau fantasy and bringing the overall design to life. Art Nouveau style offers voluptuous curves paired with deeply saturated gems and jewels. It’s womanly. It’s lovely. It’s available. Make it yours for just $1,850.00.

Pick of the Week – Volume 41

Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

Georgian pieces are a rare find. Georgian pieces in excellent condition are nearly non-existent. It’s no surprise considering that the Georgian era ended in the 1830’s… most of these uncommon gems are at least two hundred years old.

Jewelry was completely handmade from labor intensive techniques like thin sheets of usable metal made with hand hammered gold ingots. Primitive rose cuts, Old Mine cut diamonds and gemstones were set in silver and gold; feminine floral motifs were all the rage.

These late Georgian earrings resemble a pair of flowers hanging upside down… small red ruby buds are set in simple pinched collets. Twelve rose cut diamonds add a hint of sparkle to the silver leaves on either side of the golden stem. Natural pearls set on an uncomplicated swirl of wire complete the look.

Previously priced at $1,200.00, these earrings have been chosen as a Pick of the Week. After a significant price drop, they’re now available for just $900.00! Check them out on our site now.

Joe’s Special Box – Volume 80

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

This is the 80th edition of Joe’s Special Box! I wanted to choose something truly worthy of being the 80th piece… and I think this bangle more than qualifies. Made around the turn of the 20th century, it’s a real beauty. Crafted from a bright 14 karat yellow gold, five individual squares span the top portion of this hinged bracelet. The center square is the largest with the remainder graduating down in size.

Each square has a tiny Old Mine Cut Diamond in the middle. The center diamond is surrounded by a halo of cabochon Persian turquoise. The next two squares have halos created from dainty natural pearls, while the final two segments also feature turquoise… just like the center. The outer edges of each section have been hand engraved with a lovely pattern of scrolled lines showing how a little touch can add so much! This bangle, price at $2,650.00 brings a hint of bling to a special occasion, but is still simple enough to be worn every day. I can’t wait to see what the next 80 pieces will be!
