Indulge in a piece of American History with Madeleine Albright's life size Spider On Leaf Pin or Pendant with Diamonds and Black Pearl in 14 Karat White and Yellow Gold, along with a copy of her book Read My Pins: Stories From A Diplomat's Jewel Box. We are honored to present this iconic pin from the personal collection of Secretary Madeleine Albright. Madeleine Albright was the first woman to serve as Secretary of State. As Ambassador to the United Nations and Secretary of State, Albright was often the only woman in the room during critical discussions with her diplomatic colleagues and counterparts, who were virtually all men. In such gatherings, Albright followed the advice she had given as a professor to her female students: “Do not be afraid to interrupt. A woman usually prefers to size up a situation before speaking, but for a diplomat representing the United States, silence was not an option.” During her trailblazing diplomatic career, Secretary Albright discovered the power of jewelry to convey foreign policy messages. As shared in her book Read My Pins: Stories from a Diplomat’s Jewel Box, she deployed pins within her “personal diplomatic arsenal” to express her hopes, mood, and often a pointed message. She utilized this unconventional and effective tool for diplomacy on America’s behalf. Albright said the pins served as “gentle implements of statecraft, teaching tools and a different form of communication.” She knew that the idea of using pins as a diplomatic tool was not found in any State Department manual or text chronicling American foreign policy. She explained that “the truth is that it would never have happened if not for Saddam Hussein.” The poet-in-residence of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein called Albright “an unparalleled serpent” when she was the Ambassador to the United Nations. Shortly thereafter, when preparing to meet with Iraqi officials, Albright decided to make a diplomatic statement by wearing a pin with a serpent wrapped around a stick. Although her method of communication was new, her message was as old as the American Revolution – Don’t Tread on Me! From that day on, pins became part of her diplomatic signature. Albright chose pins ahead of meetings with foreign dignitaries to signal her diplomatic position. Indeed, freedom and democracy had no greater champion than Secretary Madeleine K. Albright. As Madeleine Albright says in her book "As for the spider, it has been renowned since ancient times for its patience, wile and predatory attitude. I wear my spider pin when I am feeling devious; if you see it on any day except Halloween, beware." This spider pin or pendant is probably the most spectacular of Secretary Albright's spider pins. The stunning life size spider is set with a 10mm Black Pearl of great beauty. The fabulous spider rests on on a partially eaten leaf in 14 Karat White and Yellow gold. The center vein of the leaf is set with sparkling white diamonds which are graduated in size along the length of the leaf. The leaf has wonderful tendrils on the underside adding to the three dimensional quality of the jewel. The pin can also be worn as a pendant necklace as it has a bail through which you may place a necklace chain. Here is a singular opportunity to acquire an object of American history that Secretary Albright cherished throughout her life. The pin will be sent along with a copy of Secretary Albright's book Read My Pins. The pin is guaranteed to be from the personal collection of Madeleine Albright and was acquired from the sale of her collection. The spider pin or pendant is 3 1/4 inches long and is 1 1/4 inches wide. The pin is hallmarked RB...

Indulge in a rare Art Deco Egyptian Revival Winged Pharaoh Silver Enamel Brooch masterpiece. The brooch is a Museum Quality jewel. The stunning very large and dramatic 3 5/8 inch brooch is centered by the head of a Pharoah with a magnificent hand carved face in a natural material. The exquisite, highly detailed and sensitive noble face reflects the work of a master artisan. The Pharaoh wears a fabulous headdress that is adorned with blue and green enamel. On either side are magnificent enamel wings decorated with stunning green, blue and red-orange enamel in a dynamic pattern. The brooch pin is 800 Silver and dates to the Art Deco period, circa 1890-1920. It has its early C-clasp. The brooch could be easily converted to a pendant necklace if desired. The craftsmanship, design, colors and large size of this brooch reflect the height of the Art Deco Egyptian Revival period. The brooch is a treasure to be worn and to be passed on for generations. For centuries, Ancient Egypt has held the fascination of the public and continues to inspire artists and designers alike. With the discoveries of Egyptian tombs, and the treasures within, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the exotically opulent lives of the Pharaohs were beyond anyone’s imagination. Of all the precious objects unearthed in the tombs, the lavish jewels were perhaps the most fascinating for their extravagance and never-before-seen symbolism. The Roaring Twenties and the period’s Art Deco jewelry embraced the vivid contrasting colors, motifs, and symbols more daringly than ever before. Whether the jewels were complete, faithful reproductions or real artifacts preciously decorated in similar style, the Egyptian Revival jewelry during the Art Deco era is the most lavish and magnificent. The brooch is 3 5/8 inches (9.2cm) wide and is 1 inch (26mm) tall. The brooch is hallmarked on the back with 800 for 800 Silver which was the silver standard for most Continental jewelry...
