“Favorite motif to acquire? I’m not confident I have also numerous motifs that I gravitate to but my favorite eras are Victorian and Artwork Deco. There are also selected gemstones that seize my focus no matter what. I really like all matters turquoise and gold. Major details if it has diamonds in it too (nevertheless on the hunt for the fantastic turquoise and diamond cluster ring!). Moonstones have generally mesmerized me and I have just began a new appreciation for rose cut diamonds as perfectly.”

“I really like that each and every piece of jewellery tells a story.

When it arrives to antique and classic parts in my possess collection, I frequently speculate where they came from. Was my diamond Navette ring a reward for a specified milestone?

Jewellery is these a personalized issue and every time I include a piece to my collection I sense like I’m carrying out my section to keep on its tale and continue to keep its heritage safe.”

“These days I do a great deal of my treasure searching on the net at auctions but prior to heading on a vacation or day excursion I utilised to invest time looking into shops in small towns on the way to our vacation spot.

“I bought an antique pink tourmaline and diamond pinky ring in Paris in 2017 that I definitely adored. The complete week I was in Paris I was exploring for something special to bring residence with me and I realized I had last but not least found it. I wore it to do the job a single day in the town and recognized about lunchtime that the tourmaline that fallen out. I was so upset. I’m so careful with my jewellery and I understood I wasn’t likely to locate that tourmaline on the streets of midtown. I realized I desired to substitute the stone so I took the ring to my jeweler and we resolved on turquoise. I was so content when I picked up the ring from him because the turquoise appeared so purely natural in the setting. We each agreed that possibly it was just waiting around for that turquoise cabochon all along.”

“I have a pair of simple jewelry packing containers that I use for storage but I love displaying my jewelry on my dresser in antique ring packing containers and vintage capture all dishes. I just got a single that is a ceramic tigers head and I completely love it.”
