Charm Bracelet As Memoir: French, Circa 1880
Located in Southbury, CT
Dating to the late Victorian-era (Circa 1880), this French silver charm bracelet is unusual for both the high-quality of its charms and their uniqueness as well. Charm bracelets are fascinating. In an era when women's voices were so frequently stifled, the charm bracelet could be deployed as a means of communication, of telling a story without saying a single word. A charm bracelet allowed its owner to express her individuality, her interests, her dreams, her hopes, her regrets. The Victorians loved secrets and secret messages. Perhaps you've seen a Victorian acrostic...

Classic Pearl Necklace New
Located in Southbury, CT
This classic 19" pearl necklace is composed of 50 cultured freshwater pearls from China that range in size from 8.5mm to 10mm, with most being 9mm or larger. The pearls have been hand-strung on thick, sturdy white silk and knotted between each pearl. Instead of being strung from smallest to largest, the pearls were selected at random. This has the effect of creating a necklace that appears uniform in size overall. It is finished with a rhodium-plated silver clasp.
The pearls are round to near-round and have thick, luxurious nacre. Chinese freshwater pearls now rival Japanese cultured Akoya pearls...

White Nephrite Jade Carved Fan Pendant
Located in Southbury, CT
An absolutely stunning, highly translucent white nephrite jade (mutton fat) hand-carved pendant. The 89.71 x 54.77mm pendant has been carved by a master lapidary artist to depict a folding paper fan. It's a wonderful and original idea; I've never seen another carving quite like it. And the white nephrite jade is so fine, it lends itself perfectly to being rendered as a fan; the high translucence makes the fan glow endlessly. The surface of the nephrite has almost a pearly sheen.
The fan features a simple silver bail and 24" silver chain.

Antique Snake Ring All Original Size 13
Located in Southbury, CT
Spectacular and rare: this 19th-century snake ring was created by hand-pulled gold wire which was pounded flat, coiled, fused and engraved with rich detailing. A small diamond set inside a chunky silver bezel forms the crown of the snake. This thin ring (.98mm) is so meticulously detailed and extraordinarily fine. I'm dating it as an early Victorian piece -circa 1850- but it may well be an older Georgian ring.
Remarkably, the ring is not dented, torn, or damaged in any way. In fact, the ring has never been resized. It was created as a size 13 ring...

These gorgeous and highly-prized gems measure from 9.2mm x 6.7mm to 8.8mm x 6mm. They display orange, orange-yellow sand orange-pink coloring. The dazzling gems weigh approximately 5.5 carats. The face of the ring measures 30mm x 28mm, so it's an impressive and bold ring.
The interior is marked for 14K gold but there is no maker's mark. Yet the production quality is extraordinary. The gold metalwork is expertly executed and very whimsical and creative.

Akoya Pearl Double Strand Necklace with Gold & Diamond Clasp Pristine Midcentury
Located in Southbury, CT
This 16" strand of vintage cultured Akoya pearls features large and luminous pearls. 8.31mm, 8.24mm, 8.19mm, 8.04mm, 8.29mm, 8.43mm, 8.51mm: these are measurements I took of the pearls at random. In the world of cultured Akoya pearls, 8mm is the delineating mark; 8mm and larger are considered "luxury" pearls because of the time and risk involved in culturing pearls this large. The longer a pearl stays in the water, the thicker the nacre but the greater the chances for malformation. With this strand, we have the ideal: uniform, round pearls with thick nacre, and gorgeous luminosity, but without the pits and surface imperfections, we often see in pearls of this size and vintage.
The vast majority of Akoya pearls are 6mm and 7mm. All of these pearls are 8mm and well beyond. If the classic 16" length feels too short for you, it's easy for your jeweler to add a bit of length by having the pearls restrung with double knots and French wire. In this way, you can transform this into a 17" necklace.
This necklace, created in the 1950s, features two strands of 75 top-quality cultured Akoya pearls in a near-ivory tone without any evidence of pinking, the dying process the vast majority of cultured Akoya pearls undergo to give them a light pink blush. These pearls lack that artificial tint.
The clasp is measures 23mm x 19.47 and was hand-fabricated. The clasp is formed into the shape of a flower with six small, full-cut diamonds prong-set in the center Interestingly, the diamonds are of far better quality than such small stones on a necklace clasp need to be. They are near-colorless (G-I) and clean (VS2). Together they weigh .25 carats. The clasp is unmarked but tests as 14K.
This is the ultimate classic double-strand cultured Akoya necklace...
