Bulgari Coin 'Monete' Necklace in 18k Yellow Gold, circa 1980
By Bulgari
Located in New York, NY
Q: Just how alluring can a 2,000-year-old coin look? Bulgari asked and answered this question with their Monete collection, which debuted in the 1960s and continues to this day. A: When combined with a bold, contemporary setting, the women of Rome and the world will find it most alluring.
This iconic Bulgari Monete Ancient Coin Vintage Collar Necklace features five antique Roman coins bezel-set in 18K yellow gold. The style of this stately collar neckclace is worthy of a Roman emperor, with each coin setting soldered to four links of curb chain. The weight of the necklace merits noting at just over five ounces (145.27 grams). Wearing this piece, once can feel the weight of history. Which is rather exhilarating when you think about it. Each coin of the collection is treasured in the idiom of rare and precious gems. It is such a novel recontextualization, that Bulgari incorporates moments of Rome’s Imperial glory into these one-of-a-kind designs, and once again triumphantly captures the timeless sophistication of the Eternal City.
The term “ancient” when it comes to coins is defined using Rome as the marker. Ancient defined as anything before the fall of Rome...

Ambrosi Contemporary Gemstone Demi-Parure Suite
By Ambrosi
Located in New York, NY
Behold the exquisite Ambrosi Contemporary Gemstone Demi-Parure Suite, a testament to Italian artistry and sophistication, meticulously created in Italy during the contemporary era, circa the 21st century. This suite is a harmonious fusion of two captivating components: a double-strand riviere necklace and a pair of matching drop earrings, all meticulously crafted in 18kt white gold.
At the heart of this demi-parure suite lies a concise yet profoundly elegant design, featuring two repeating motifs that dance in lyrical harmony. The necklace showcases a mesmerizing interplay of 28 hand-carved turquoise fans and 28 oval cabochon emeralds, gracefully arranged across two adjoined concentric strands. Each motif is meticulously encircled with a delicate halo of pavé diamonds, boasting an impressive total weight of approximately 7.18 carats. The turquoise fans and emerald ovals, occasionally joined and articulated, offer a unique fluidity to the design, allowing light to play across the gemstones in the most captivating manner.
The accompanying drop earrings, measuring 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) in length, mirror this configuration with two distinctive variations. A third mirror image fan below the central motif adds a symmetrical touch, while the widthwise oval is gracefully rotated 90 degrees, elongating the silhouette for a striking effect. These earrings are designed as clip-back, with the option to be converted to post earrings for pierced ears, offering both convenience and elegance.

Bulgari Contemporary Diamond Emerald Parure Suite
By Bulgari
Located in New York, NY
It was 1963 in Italy on the set of Cleopatra when Richard Burton famously said, “I introduced Liz to beer, she introduced me to Bulgari,” referring to the film’s iconic star, Elizabeth Taylor. It was even rumored that Ms. Taylor had requested the Italian jewelry house to wait around the set with their latest collection, so she could go shopping in between takes.
Founded in 1884 in Rome, Bulgari is known for voluminous forms, signature sunny shades of yellow gold, and vibrantly colored gemstones composed in curvaceous patterns. In the 1920s, however, their high jewelry creations reflected the design of traditional French Maisons, incorporating platinum and diamonds with stylized Art Deco design. This suite, made in Italy during the Contemporary Era, is reminiscent of the geometry of Bulgari’s early style brought into the modern age, with juicy floral patterns featuring a bounty of emeralds - inviting abundance, love, and good fortune to the wearer.
Flowers have long been a favorite with the jewelry house, beginning with its en tremblant brooches, created in the 1950s and 1960s as well as with the Fiorever collection today, which draws inspiration from the four-petal flower venerated by the Romans as a symbol of happiness. This exquisite diamond and emerald parure...

Harry Winston 3-Row Bezel Set Diamond Gold Necklace
By Harry Winston
Located in New York, NY
This understated yet grand Harry Winston Diamond 3-Row Riviere Necklace, made in the late XX century, is crafted in 18K yellow gold and features 282 round brilliant bezel-set diamonds with an estimated total weight of 68 carats of E-F color and VVS clarity. The Harry Winston name is synonymous with the most exceptional diamonds of unparalleled quality, presented in designs that best demonstrate their natural beauty.
This riviere necklace impeccably demonstrates the meticulous gradation of one type of stone, but with a fabulous and masterful twist. Instead of a single strand of diamonds, with all stones of the same color and cut that graduate smoothly in size from top to bottom, this sleek ultra-modern version demonstrates graduation across three strands—and from the inside out. The innermost strand is dotted with 92 of the smallest diamonds—a consistent size all the way around—which progressively and nearly imperceptibly get larger to the middle strand of 92 diamonds and culminate with the largest 92 diamonds in the outermost. Each diamond is lined up perfectly, not staggered. The inside diameter of the necklace is 16 inches, and the outside is 18 inches, and with the graduation, lays perfectly flat. Imagine how the precision of this necklace must translate to wearing it. How it must fit your contours perfectly, responding subtly to your every move.
With a minimalist piece such as this composed of just two elements—perfectly round brilliant-cut diamonds and perfectly round gold bezels—the smallest variation becomes the big story. When we view the necklace from the reverse side, we can confirm our suspicion of such masterful workmanship. The graduation in the gold bezel settings from the innermost curve outwards is clear. The clasp is nearly imperceptible with the river of jewels flowing over it, save for one bezel-set diamond in the middle strand at a higher elevation. In these settings, the back is open, allowing the stones to reflect the light in all their dazzling glory.
Rivière is French for river—in this case, a river of gems, because the stones are thought to flow around the neck. A rivière is usually quite short, about 14 inches or 35 cm. These necklaces first became popular in the 1700s and have been redesigned and updated over the years. Historically, the gemstones were set in separate collets—also known as bezels like this example—and later in prong or claw mountings. Collets were likewise popularly employed in opulent diamond articulated bracelets...

Contemporary Victorian Revival Amethyst Lavalier Necklace
Located in New York, NY
The Romantic period (1837-1860) marked the start of the Victorian Era (1837-1901), which reflected the love of a nation for its young queen and her love for her husband, Prince Albert. The jewelry of the period tended toward sentimental, celebrating love, friendship, and affection, often symbolic of their happy marriage. Victorians were especially creative in imbuing romance into their jewels, treasuring forms like lockets, hair jewels made from locks of hair, cameos, acrostic jewels spelling out secret love notes, and mourning jewels when Queen Victoria went into permanent mourning upon Prince Albert’s death.
This unique Victorian revival necklace features amethyst with a vivid purple color estimated to be of Siberian origin, and pearls set in 14k yellow gold arranged in two infinite halos around a center stone. The featured faceted oval shape amethyst weighs approximately 26 carats and is set with a profusion of prongs—16 in total—surrounded by 27 pearls accented with a scalloped border with milgrain, and 12 oval shape amethysts arranged lengthwise with an approximate weight of 16.2 carats total. The outer halo of smaller amethysts beautifully mirrors the center stone in cut and proportion, set similarly in 14K yellow gold with many prongs, this time 8 per stone.
Amethyst and seed pearls were among the most popular gemstones used during the 19th century with two noted gem cutting styles including the rose-cut, a round shape with a domed top and flat bottom, and the cabochon, with a rounded top and flat bottom. The shapes of the gems in this necklace pay homage to these cuts in look and silhouette. The purple variety of crystalline quartz, amethyst was a popular jewel for its velvety richness and deep color in the Victorian period of romance and sentimentality. When Queen Victoria wore a mauve silk gown to the Royal Exhibition in 1862, heart shape amethyst jewelry became fashionable as love tokens.
The pendant is attached to a beautifully crafted 22-inch (55.88 cm) chain of textured wide links, embellished with one larger oval amethyst weighing approximately 3.3 carats and set lengthwise. Single amethyst beads, each flanked by two pearls, adorn the chain at intervals for a total of ten 5 x 5 mm amethyst beads and twenty 2-3 mm pearls. The pendant is 1.75 inches in length (4.45 cm).
Necklace measures approx. 22” in length. Pendant measures approx. 1.75” in length. Amethysts are a vivid purple color denominated Siberian. The largest oval shape amethyst on the pendant is about 26 carats and is surrounded by 27 pearls, and 12 smaller oval shape amethysts totaling approximately to 16.2 carats. Pendant is attached to a beautifully crafted chain that is embellished with 1 larger 3.3 carat oval amethyst, 20 pearls...

By Spectra Fine Jewelry
Located in New York, NY
What could be more regal than diamonds, dangling pendants, and double halos, all elegantly arranged in one spectacular statement piece? This beautiful Diamond Bib Necklace from Spectra Fine Jewelry is crafted in 18K white gold set with 939 round and baguette diamonds weighing an estimated 7.49 carats total. The diamonds are equivalent to F-I colors and VS-SI clarity. Crafted in the 21st century, the necklace features 13 graduated pendants comprised of what appears to be dangling pear-shape diamonds surrounded by pear-shape pavé diamond halos. The pendants are suspended from seemingly square step-cut diamonds surrounded by square pavé diamond halos alternating with rectangular step-cut diamonds.
At closer range, the dazzling tour-de-force settings come into focus. The seemingly singular pear shape diamonds are comprised of multiple round pavé diamonds arranged in impeccable trompe l’oeil pear-shaped silhouettes. Likewise, the square and rectangular step-cut diamonds are comprised of multiple baguette diamonds, set in parallels and perpendiculars, punctuated by perfectly fitting round diamonds at the four corners. This clever configuration effectively creates illusory emerald cut diamonds. The artistry and technical prowess in setting all these stones in this precise manner is to be admired.
An actual square or rectangular emerald-cut diamond is comprised of parallel and perpendicular step cuts with long linear facets that return large flashes of light. Here the baguette diamonds, step-cut with 14 straight, clearly defined facets and perfectly squared corners, are subbed in for emerald-cut diamonds. Four round diamonds are placed at each corner to provide that effervescent sparkle that is normally created from the cut corners of the emerald cut. Such expert-level stone setting references techniques from the Art Deco period in which Spectra Fine Jewelry is also more than proficient. These techniques, where custom geometric-cut gemstones are tightly set against one another without the use of prongs, create a unique sparkle and an effect of a lush, jeweled tapestry...
