Vintage 1990s Butler & Wilson Crystal Tiara – Harrods Gold Plated A spectacular vintage 1990s crystal tiara by the celebrated British jewellery house Butler & Wilson, originally retailed by the iconic London department store Harrods. This wonderfully glamorous statement tiara is beautifully crafted in gold plated metal and lavishly embellished with sparkling clear faceted crystal stones. The elaborate openwork design is particularly striking, incorporating an intricate lattice of geometric forms, sweeping arches and individual floral-style crystal clusters.

With its wonderfully theatrical silhouette and unmistakable 1990s glamour, this is a piece designed to make an entrance.

A wonderful choice for anyone who loves statement jewellery and the bold, unapologetic glamour of Butler & Wilson. Butler & Wilson are renowned for their highly decorative, theatrical jewellery and spectacular statement pieces, and this tiara is a wonderful example of the distinctive glamour associated with the brand. The Harrods provenance adds an extra touch of quintessential London glamour and makes this a particularly lovely piece for collectors of vintage designer costume jewellery. Dating from the 1990s, it perfectly captures the era's love of high-impact sparkle, statement jewellery and wonderfully extravagant occasion dressing.

Heavy gauge sterling silver ranger set by Santa Fe artist Mona Van Riper. The 2” x 2 ¼” buckle has two 18 karat gold flowers with red garnets in the center. The two keepers and the tip also have an 18 karat gold floral motif with garnets. The set is made for a 1” belt. Price is for buckle set only. Belts are sold separately. Santa Fe artist Mona Van Riper is known for her unique one of a kind jewelry. She is a favorite of collectors because of her unique designs and she chooses only the highest quality stones. Day of the Dead figures and skulls are among her favorite designs. She has been designing jewelry since 1976. About the Artist Mona Van Riper was raised in Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico. She began silver-smithing at the Mabel Dodge Lujan House in Taos in 1976. Making and designing jewelry has been a constant part of her life ever since. Mona is most well-known for her elaborate and intricate buckles, whether with a western theme, crown, fleur-de-lis, heart or with her eponymous skulls. Most of the country’s finest buckle makers—often artisans who learned the skills from their fathers and grandfathers—ply their craft in remote locales, often in obscurity. Mona Van Riper fits that profile. She creates one-of-a-kind turquoise, 18-karat gold, and sterling silver buckles in a 10-by-10-foot utility room in her home located on a dirt road, miles outside of Santa Fe, N.M. Mona’s early jewelry was heavy stamped Southwestern style made from hand-cast ingots and coins. Over the years her style has developed into a more sophisticated and contemporary look while maintaining her signature old-world flavor. In 1992 Mona introduced engraving into her work which has given her jewelry a broader appeal. Mona’s unique jewelry is made from sterling silver in combination with 18 karat gold overlays and engraving. She often uses rare and very high-grade custom cut turquoise in her pieces. Mixing precious and semi-precious stones also gives her jewelry a timeless look. You will find notable differences in quality between artisan-made belt buckles and those that major luxury brands’ machines churn out by the thousands. Handmade solid silver and...
