Moira
Established in 1970 by Moira Cohen, Moira is a family-run business based in London, England. It specializes in buying and selling the finest antique, vintage and signed jewelry — priceless relics from the past — which are prized by discerning connoisseurs of fine jewelry.
Cohen grew up in Glasgow, Scotland, surrounded by gems as her father was a jeweler. She helped in his store for over a decade and developed an affinity for antique jewelry. After moving to London in her early 30s and working for a few high-end jewelers, she was asked to manage the Harrods fine art and antique jewelry department.
Cohen wanted to travel the world to seek out the rarest and most exquisite vintage and antique treasures. In 1970, she rented a small storefront on London’s New Bond Street — best known for top-end art dealers and antique shops. Her brand became popular among a long client list that included Madonna, Adele, Rod Stewart, Goldie Hawn, Sylvester Stallone, Danielle Steel, Dustin Hoffman, Daniel Craig, Sir Paul McCartney and many royal family members across the globe.
In 1982, Cohen opened a second store with the help of her daughter, Suzanne Lauder. Her son, Simon, joined them in 1994. Lauder took over the company in 2020 when Cohen passed. Its luxurious pieces remain in demand with collectors today.

- Vintage Plique-a-jour, Sapphire and Diamond, 18ct Yellow Gold Bug BroochLocated in Jesmond, Newcastle Upon TyneA stunning, fine and impressive plique-a-jour, 0.60 carat sapphire and 0.23 carat diamond, 18k carat yellow gold bug brooch; part of our diverse antique jewellery and estate jewelry collections. This fine and impressive vintage brooch has been crafted in 18ct yellow gold with an 18k white gold setting. The brooch has been modelled in the form of a winged insect. The insect's wings are composed of yellow gold frames accented with a spectrum of impressive plique-à-jour* panels. The creature's rounded thorax is further ornamented with red plique-a-jour panels. The insect's abdomen is embellished with an impressive 18k white gold setting accented with thirteen eight cut diamonds. The head features an impressive three-claw set 0.60ct pear faceted blue sapphire, replicating the insect's eye. This exceptional brooch is further embellished with yellow gold anatomical features, including three visible legs and two antennae. The brooch secures to the reverse with a hinged pin and clasp. This stunning insect brooch has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 18 karat gold. The brooch is supplied with an independent diamond and gemstone grading report card. NOTE: * Plique-à-jour is a vitreous enamelling technique similar in technical execution to cloisonné, where the enamel is applied to defined 'cells' within a metal filigree. With plique-à-jour, there is no backing to the design, allowing light to pass through the enamelwork, suggestive of stained glass. Plique-a-jour is derived from the French 'braid letting in daylight'. Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone. Condition This impressive vintage bug brooch...Category
