Art Deco Antique Jewelry
My five favorite jewelry pieces, in no particular order, are:
1. My diamond engagement ring (emerald cut set in platinum with two
baguettes)
2. A pair of white gold diamond pave hoops my husband gave me (even if
I just noticed one of the tiny diamonds is missing)
3. A gold ram's head bracelet I got when I graduated from college (my
school's team were the Rams)
4. A diamond and ruby art deco bracelet I have that is beautiful but I
never, ever wear it-- hmm, have to rectify that.
5. A very large smoky topaz or citrine (not sure what the stone is)
cocktail ring inherited from my grandmother.
In general I am a big earrings and bracelets person. I don't wear many
necklaces because I always feel like I'm choking, and I like rings but
since I have terrible nails I rarely wear them.
Orange and yellow citrine briolette necklace- I know the yellow is citrine,
but the orange, might be garnet, but it's true orange. The briolettes are
threaded choker length, but twist around so they sort of alternate up and
down. You could drink the stones and there's such a sparkle. We got it in
Bermuda, and it's numero uno.
Green and blue toned sparkley crystal earrings from Kohls of all places.
1920 brand or something like that- small dangle with a flower motif. They
look great with black, since the patina is blackish and I get tons of
compliments on them.
Square emerald shape aquamarine or blue topaz (can't remember) but the stone
is on a plain drop and is light blue, small, sparkley. Small, plain but
noticible and gorgeous.
Roberto Coin- white gold -champagne and white diamond heart ring. It's tiny
but cool-- the heart is made out of champagne diamonds and regular diamonds
along the band thread through the heart.
Rutilated quartz (that's what the shop owner said) pendant. It looks very
much like in this link, but the threads are black. It is way cool. I found
a great silver chain for it that is length adjustable.
