Still, there is something alluring about dealing with jewelers possessing both a physical location and a venerable history, like the two whose parures are discussed below: London&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/bentley-and-skinner\/\">Bentley &amp; Skinner<\/a>, situated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/introspective-magazine\/bentley-skinner\/\">in Piccadilly<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/joseph-saidian-and-sons\/\">Joseph Saidian and Sons<\/a>, on Manhattan\u2019s Upper East Side. Both firms began trading in the 1880s, the former a few blocks from its present site, the latter in what is now Iran. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both are also connected with royalty, either directly or indirectly. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/style\/victorian\/\">Queen Victoria<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/queen-elizabeth\/\">Queen Elizabeth II<\/a> and King Charles have been Bentley &amp; Skinner clients. Joseph Saidian and Sons is the custodian of the 74.53-carat fancy yellow diamond <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/introspective-magazine\/new-york-city-jewelry-week\/\">centerpiece of the shah of Iran&#8217;s crown<\/a>, the Ahmad Shah, whose acquisition in 2001 the family describes as \u201cthe ultimate act of poetic justice,\u201d since it was the shah&#8217;s fall that forced the Saidians to flee their native country. In addition, the firms share a commitment to purveying the finest jewels. Their divergent histories, however, are reflected in Bentley &amp; Skinner\u2019s depth in antique pieces and Joseph Saidian &amp; Sons&#8217; focus on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/period\/mid-20th-century\/\">mid-20th-century<\/a> ones. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/earrings\/drop-earrings\/late-georgian-aquamarine-gold-parure\/id-j_11199922\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/11199922_master.jpg\" alt=\"Late Georgian aquamarine and gold parure, ca. 1820\" class=\"wp-image-413904\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;width:700px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/11199922_master.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/11199922_master-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/11199922_master-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/11199922_master-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/11199922_master-216x216.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/earrings\/drop-earrings\/late-georgian-aquamarine-gold-parure\/id-j_11199922\/\">Late Georgian aquamarine and gold parure, ca. 1820<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/earrings\/drop-earrings\/late-georgian-aquamarine-gold-parure\/id-j_11199922\/\">aquamarine and gold suite<\/a>, from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/period\/early-19th-century\/\">early 19th century<\/a>, consists of a tiara, earrings, necklace, pendant, brooch (convertible to a clasp for a bracelet) and, tucked under the brooch in its fitted case, a petite hair ornament.
