JEWELRY:

MICHAEL GOOD 18k Gold Earrings and Necklace

Michael Good started his jewelry career oddly enough, as an apprentice for a sculptor in NYC during the 1970’s.  He uses these same techniques to make his architectural wearable pieces of art as well as sculptures for the home and garden.  He works with a technique that he created called “Anticlastic Raising”.  He forms sheet metal around a snake like stake and hammers it into the intended design.  This allows him to create lightweight and fluid pieces that are all one of a kind.  Almost a mix between the liquid and solid forms of metal.  

(SOLD SEPARATELY, SEE INDIVIDUAL DESCRIPTIONS)

MICHAEL GOOD 18k Necklace

This solid 18k yellow gold curled disc pendant will float along your neckline.  Tie on a black leather rope, you can choose where this piece lays, high, low or right in between.  This pendant started as a flat round disc with one brushed side and one highly polished side.  Good then formed it to create a curling form that is truly unique.  We love that you can see both the shining and the somewhat rougher crushed side, it creates an even more organic nature to this pendant.  Pendant measures 2″ wide and 1 1/2″ tall and weighs almost 18 grams in solid 18k gold.  Leather cord can be worn with a maximum length of 16″.  Retailed for approximately $2,000.  Priced at $899.

MICHAEL GOOD 18k Calla Lily Inspired Earrings  –  SOLD

The second piece we have from Michael Good are these dramatic long earrings in 18k yellow gold.  Crafted in Good’s signature 1/2 brushed and 1/2 polished gold, these earrings that resemble an elongated calla lily flower will be a signature statement for you.  The curved shape of these earrings will follow the frame of ones jawline as is flows down the side of the face.  Measuring 4″ in total length and weighing 13.4 grams of 18k gold, these are earrings worth saving for special occasions.  Retailed approximately $1,500.  Priced at $799.  SOLD

GEORG JENSEN 18k and Diamond 4 Piece “Fusion” Ring Set SIZE 8

Founded in Denmark in 1904, Georg Jensen’s created a high end jewelry company that has placed his name at the top of Scandinavian jewelers.  His luxurious designs are all unique, often castings of organic flora or can be modern imaginings of what jewelry can and should be; art to adorn oneself in.  Today his company is a collaboration of many artists that continue this aesthetic and are always releasing innovative designs.  This 4 piece ring set was first imagined by one of the company’s most successful artists, Nina Koppelis, in 1987.  She created this ring that is made of 18k white and yellow gold bands that fit together seamlessly in a perfect little puzzle.  Clients today can pick and choose how many bands and colors of gold and diamonds they want to stack, since each ring is sold separately.  The stack we have today features two yellow gold bands that create the edges and two white gold bands that rest in the middle, one with diamonds sprinkled within.  You can wear the ring with all four, just one white gold center, both white gold bands, both yellow gold bands, or just one at a time; so many options.  Size 8.  The full set retails for $4,450.  Due to some scratches that are more pronounced in photos than real life, this piece is priced at less than 1/2 of retail, $2000.  

 

GEORG JENSEN 18k White and Yellow Gold “Magic” Two Piece Ring Set SIZE 7 – SOLD

This ring set was designed by another artist with Georg Jensen’s umbrella, Regitze Overgaard, who designs pieces that she aims to be as simple as possible while flowing with the natural curve and movement of the body.  The Magic collection features fluid bands of gold that tapers at points for a naturally flowing aesthetic.  The 18k white gold outer band curves in a spiral and can be worn alone, or you can slide the simple yellow gold band inside to complete the look.  Size 7.  Both pieces retail for a total of $1,750.  Priced here at $899.  SOLD

JEWELRY:

CHANEL 2014 Paris-Dallas Collection Brooch and Earrings (SOLD SEPARATELY)

Both Paris and Dallas are known for their fashionable women, however, both come from opposite ends of the design world.  The juxtaposition of Parisian elegance to Western-influenced opulence is not only unique, but is also an unexpected marriage that makes sense.  Below we have two pieces from this extraordinary collection, each sold separately.

CHANEL 2014 Paris-Dallas Collection Brooch – SOLD

This gorgeous brooch is varnished in a light gold, for easy paring with any tone of jewelry you may wish to wear it with.  The small pear-shaped cabochons of carnelian red enamel have a few garnet-colored spaces throughout.  The trademark CCs are connected by two triangles of speckled turquoise enamel.  Size 55mm x 40mm.  Priced at $349.

SOLD

JUDE FRANCES 18K Yellow Gold, Pavè Diamond, and Moonstone Ring, Size 6.25

14K YELLOW GOLD and TURQUOISE Necklace

Gold and turquoise is a crave-able combination, and one we don’t see as often as we’d like.  This piece is particularly stunning with its 10.25ct pear-shaped cabochon-cut turquoise pendant (estimated size 18.40 x 13.30 x 6.21 mm).  The bright turquoise blue shines brilliantly against the 14k yellow gold ridged rope-trimmed bezel, and is completed by an 18.5-inch cable-link 14k chain.  With appraisal, this gorgeous necklace is valued at $2,345, our price is $1,100.

MONICA RICH KOSANN 18K Rock Crystal ‘Rectangular Key Necklace’ – SOLD

Originally a fine art portrait photographer, Monica Rich Kosann has elegantly transferred her photographic eye to jewelry, with the intention to create heirloom-inspired pieces to last a lifetime.  Monica’s essential question before creating any piece is, “Is the style both contemporary and timeless… can a woman treasure it in 20 years as much as she does today?”*  Most decidedly, the answer is Yes.  This simple yet stunning necklace is an elegant statement.  The 32-inch 18K yellow gold chain leads to her signature “Rectangular Key” pendant, filled with a large faceted rock crystal (29mm x 21mm), and set with a bezel holding three round brilliant-cut diamonds on either side, with a single sapphire cabochon on the top.  A piece to elevate any outfit.  This lovely necklace originally retailed approximately $4,400, our price is $2,200. SOLD

CLOTHING:

DOLCE & GABBANA Mahogany-Colored Crepe Key-Rose Print Dress, Size 8 – SOLD

Dolce & Gabbana have been traditionally known for their very fitted, very sexy aesthetic, but their latest collections are bringing back a bit of old-world Italian romance.  This short sleeved shift dress is conservative in cut, but mysterious and gently vivacious with its roses, keys, and vines growing in a cleverly placed print.  The silk-lined viscose crepe is nicely weighted for the season, but still luxuriously breathable.  Size 8 (Italian 44).  Priced at $499. SOLD

The magnetic closure opens to reveal a scarlet red suede lining, complete with three open interior pockets.  A zipped pocket sits along the front of the bag, with two gold tone zipper pulls, completed by a fun black and red leather ribbon.  In like new condition, complete with dust bag and shopping tote.  Size 16.5″ [W] x 13″ [H] x 5″ [D].   The “Tuileries Hobo” originally retailed $2,270, our price is $1,850. SOLD

GUCCI Black and Silver Python ‘Large Hysteria Clutch’

A clutch to carry everything, this piece is fierce and edgy with a little flirtatious fun.  The black and silver python adds intrigue and elegance, while the substantial size makes this hand-held bag more than an accessory.  Wonderfully light-weight, this clutch is functional fashion and a lovely bit of arm candy.  The zip top lends easy access, and opens to reveal signature canvas lining with two open pockets and one zipped.  The snakeskin zipper pull and side ties keep this piece from taking itself too seriously, and the gold-tone trademark medallion lets the branding shine.  In great condition.  Size 16″ [W] x 7″ [H] x 2″ [D].  The “Large Python Hysteria Clutch” originally retailed $2,195, our price is $599.

STELLA MCCARTNEY Grey and Cream Faux Python ‘Falabella Tote’

Stella McCartney is known for her vegan aesthetic, and while printed in snakeskin, this charcoal and cream tote is 100% cruelty-free.  The shiny patent python print is finely textured to give an authentic feel.  The “Falabella” is always trimmed in a rope and chain braided edge, this one with black ties and silver-tone chain.  The tote functions as a hand-held tall satchel, or can be folded over and worn on the shoulder.  The snap-top closure opens to reveal signature canvas lining, with one zipped pocket inside.  In great condition.  Size 15″ [W] x 13″ [H] x 3″ [D].  The “Falabella Tote” originally retailed for $1,185, our price is $549.

LANVIN Black, Grey, and Tan Leopard Print Dress, Size 6

Wildly lady-like, this abstract leopard printed fit-n-flare dress is a party-pleaser!  Two toned, the black and silvery-grey meets golden brown and tan color-blocked pieces throughout, creating an eye-catching illusion.  Raw edges and exposed stitching make this piece couture.  The conservative cut is still flirty with sheer black panels on the sides and back, and the dress made edgy with its exposed back zipper, while the skirt never stops twirling!  Comprised of acetate and silk, the densely weighted material keeps its shape, and adds depth to the print.  Size 6 (French 38).  Priced at $379.

CHANEL Black Wool/Nylon Knit Skirt Suit, Size 6-8

From Chanel’s 1998 Autumn collection, this powerful and feminine suit still has “werk” to do!  The long pencil skirt (with buttoned kick pleat) meets a long-waisted jacket, lending itself to its late 90’s style, but remaining in keeping with Chanel’s classic tweed suiting.  The jacket is finely trimmed in a fuzzy woven ribbon of braided boucle along the collar, button placket, and four front pockets.  Chain toggle trademark buttons add a vintage French touch.  Size 6-8 (French 40).  In wonderful condition.  Priced at $1,000.
