Hattie Carnegie commissioned for one of her mid-century clothing collections this modern starburst fireworks prong-set crystal convex brooch, whose gold-gilt metal rods cupping faux blue-sapphire and green-peridot round-cut glass are each bracketed by tiny stylized leaves to suggest a flower umbel or floral spray. Several design characteristics of Carnegie brooches from the early 1950s are apparent in this U.S.-made piece with top-quality European crystals, which was sold without a signature for a garment as part of a parure, in which at least the earrings were signed. Carnegie paired peacock...

I commissioned this tiara from a jeweler overseas whose work I have long admired. It has been painstakingly crafted from silver and a multitude of glittering rose-cut diamonds that total just over 8 carats. You won't mistake this tiara for a piece by Cartier; and that's the point. This is not the work of a massive luxury goods conglomerate, but rather of an independent artist who creates each piece by hand from somewhat more humble materials. The diamonds in this tiara have great character and the piece itself has such perfectly classic lines. Tiaras have an ancient history. They have been worn —at least— since ancient Roman times when they adorned the heads of both men and women of high status. For centuries they have been associated with royalty. Though during the reign of Queen Victoria, "commoners" began wearing tiaras at formal events, and this trend spread overseas to America. In the 1920s, Tiaras and bejeweled headbands were all the rage. They remain popular today among stylish brides who appreciate their historical significance; the tiara immortalizes an occasion as grand. This particular silver tiara...

A Faberge' jewelled and enamelled gold and hardstone seal, the flat oval handle inset at both sides with a moss agate panel over sunburst engine-turning within a rose-cut diamond-set border, the mount enamelled in opaque white, the collar with swirled fluting within further diamonds, blank nephrite matrix, workmaster Henrik Wigström, St Petersburg, circa 1910. Should you choose to make this purchase we would be delighted to send it to you in a Bentley & Skinner handmade leather case packed in a gift-wrapped Bentley & Skinner black and gold presentation box. Shortly afterwards we will send you on a valuation for insurance purposes for your reference and safekeeping. This exquisite hardstone seal was made by Fabergé and comes from the Fabergé collection of Bentley & Skinner, the London jewellers by appointment to both Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. Fabergé was established in St Petersburg in 1842, and by the late nineteenth century, was Russia’s largest and best-known jewellery house. The house has become known for their royal commissions and their close ties to the family of Tsar Nicholas II. This seal features a flat oval handle with a gorgeous dendritic agate panel inset. This particular agate has the natural appearance of a miniature treecape, adding fine detail to this piece. Surrounding the handle is a frame of glittering rose-cut diamonds. The mount features white enamel and a fluted design set with diamonds, culminating in a blank matrix made from vibrant nephrite. This piece bears the marks of workmaster Henrik Wigström, who was head workmaster at Fabergé from 1903 onwards. This antique Fabergé seal...
