How Much is a Art Deco Emerald Coomi?
Coomi for sale on 1stDibs
To Coomi founder Coomi Bhasin, jewelry is a part of you. It’s not something you simply put on to complement an evening dress or casual day wear — jewelry is an integral part of who you are, omnipresent and completely essential. Bhasin’s designs represent a marriage of her rich cultural heritage and a fascination with archaeology and spirituality.
Bhasin’s history with jewelry goes back to her youth, during which she created her own designs as a hobby (she would eventually go on to study art history and textile design). After immigrating from India to the U.S. in 1977, she worked with her husband Hari to establish a successful construction company with the intent of passing it down to her son, Sahil. In 2002, however, members from the New York nonprofit Asia Society saw some of the accessories she made in her leisure time and commissioned her to create a collection that could be sold as part of a fundraiser. After her success with Asia Society, Sahil pushed her to pursue jewelry-making full-time, and together they have never looked back. Neiman Marcus became the company's first retailer.
“I do the fun part — design and production and travel. Sahil does everything else,” jokes Coomi Bhasin.
Always endeavoring to push the envelope when it comes to creating contemporary jewelry designs, the family-owned Coomi combines the new with the old. In her Antiquity collection, Bhasin uses authentic artifacts such as arrowheads, ancient Roman coins and carved labradorite to create pendants, cocktail rings and other pieces. Elsewhere, as often as she is working with rose-cut and brilliant-cut diamonds in the creation of Coomi’s alluring luxury ornaments, Bhasin remains deeply connected to nature and the world around her and features the Tagua nut as an ethical substitution for ivory in the brand's offerings.
In 2004, just two years after operating Coomi on a full-time basis, Bhasin won the Diamond Promotion Service’s collaborative award with JCK magazine. Two years later she was named a rising star in fine jewelry by the Fashion Group International organization and was inducted into the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 2012.

A Close Look at Art Deco Jewelry
Fascination with the Jazz Age is endless, and even today jewelry designers continue to be inspired by authentic Art Deco jewelry and watches.
The Art Deco period, encompassing the 1920s and ’30s, ushered in a very distinct look in the design of jewelry. There were many influences on the jewelry of the era that actually began to take shape prior to the 1920s. In 1909, Serge Diaghilev brought the Ballet Russes to Paris, and women went wild for the company’s exotic and vibrant costumes It’s no wonder, then, that jade, lapis lazuli, coral, turquoise and other bright gemstones became all the rage. There already existed a fascination with the East, particularly China and Japan, and motifs consisting of fans and masks started to show up in Art Deco jewelry.
However, the event that had the greatest influence on Deco was the excavation of the tomb of King Tut in 1922. When the world saw what was hidden in Tut’s burial chamber, it sent just about everyone into a frenzy. Pierre Cartier wrote in 1923 that “the discovery of the tomb will bring some sweeping changes in fashion jewelry.” And he couldn’t have been more right. “Egyptomania” left an indelible mark on all of the major jewelry houses, from Cartier to Van Cleef & Arpels, Boucheron and Georges Fouquet. (Cartier created some of the most iconic jewelry designs that defined this era.)
While a lot of Art Deco jewelry was black and white — the black coming from the use of onyx or black enamel and the white from rock crystal and diamonds — there is plenty of color in jewelry of the era. A perfect accent to diamonds in platinum settings were blue sapphires, emeralds and rubies, and these stones were also used in combination with each other.
Many designers employed coral, jade and lapis lazuli, too. In fact, some of the most important avant-garde jewelers of the period, like Jean Després and Jean Fouquet (son of Georges), would combine white gold with ebony and malachite for a jolt of color.
A lot of the jewelry produced during this time nodded to current fashion trends, and women often accessorized their accessories. The cloche hat was often accented with geometric diamond brooches or double-clip brooches. Backless evening dresses looked fabulous with sautoir necklaces, and long pearl necklaces that ended with tassels, popular during the Edwardian period, were favored by women everywhere, including Coco Chanel.
