CATHY WATERMAN 22k Flexible Wheat Charm Necklace

Delicate chains are one of Waterman’s signature designs, they are easy to wear as a single high quality piece, or layer them up with others creating a mix to adorn yourself with.  She designs pieces in a multitude of styles and sizes, but today we have three pieces in this Spanish chain, a rectangle link with rounded corners.  This 17″ chain is crafted out of 22k yellow gold and holds a 3 petal Wheat charm that has a satin finish to the gold.  The charm features a hinged link to hold the bottom petal, making a flexible piece.  Finished with a toggle clasp.  Don’t miss the matching bracelet featured later in this blog.  Sold with a protective box.  Retailed for $2,190.  Priced at $1,250. 

CATHY WATERMAN 22k and Platinum Diamond Bar Bracelet

This is a perfect piece to pair with a stack of other fine bracelets, as the two tone color combo and asymmetrical design will fit within a multitude of other jewels.  Crafted out of 22k yellow gold, this bracelet is a 6 3/4″ Lacy chain, which is Waterman’s fine oval link style.  One small platinum bar detailed with 5 small diamonds sits off-center, close to toggle clasp; perfectly unperfect.   Finished with a toggle clasp.  Sold with protective pouch.  Retailed for $2,200.  Priced at $1,200.

CATHY WATERMAN 22k Flexible Wheat Charm Bracelet – SOLD

Our last Cathy Waterman piece today would make a perfect set with the necklace featured above.  22k satin finished yellow gold creates this hinged, flexible wheat shaped charm in the center of a fine highly polished 22k gold Spanish chain that is a rectangle shape with rounded corners and measures 6.75″.  Finished with a toggle clasp.  Sold with protective box.  Retailed for $1,615.  Priced at $899. – SOLD

JAMIE JOSEPH COLLECTION

JAMIE JOSEPH Jelly Opal Ring Size 6.5

This is just the first of 5 Jamie Joseph pieces we are happy to offer you today!  A petite ring with a eye catching light.  This cabochon dome cut opal is classified as a Jelly Opal due to its opaque, almost viscous liquid appearance.  Like most opals, hints of fiery orange and green flecks shine within, meaning this stone will transform as every beam of light hits it from all angles.  Detailed in Jamie’s signature design with her 14k bezel edge and hand hammered sterling band.  Size 6 1/2.  Retailed for $1,100.  Priced at $599.

JAMIE JOSEPH Dendric Agate Ring Size 6.5

Nature continues to amaze us in the ways it offers its beauty to us.  Mother Earth grew this gorgeous cream agate stone that has a branch like inclusion, thus making it a Dendric Agate.  Wear this large stone and you will have a piece of natural history on your hand.  The 14k yellow gold bezel trim does cast a slight gold tone to this cream stone, creating a glow that moves along with the light.  Agate measures 26 mm x 18 mm for a large statement for your hand.  Finished with the signature hammered sterling band.   Size 6 1/2.  Retailed for $960.  Priced at $499.

JAMIE JOSEPH Peridot Ring Size 6.5 – SOLD

Our third J.J. ring is a dome topped cabochon cut green peridot stone that has a natural glowing light within.  That organic light, coupled with the 14k yellow gold bezel trim make this stone look like a ripe and shiny green apple.  This raw peridot, that measures 16 mm x 13 mm, has some inclusions within, but that just adds to its innate beauty. Size 6 1/2.  Retailed for $900.  Priced at $499. SOLD

                 

JAMIE JOSEPH Clear Quartz Necklace

This lovely necklace is from Jamie Joseph’s early work, but still represents the same aesthetic she uses to this day; letting the simple beauty of the stone be the center attraction.  A pear shaped clear quartz crystal hangs below two hammered 14k circle beads.  Quartz stone measures 15 mm at the widest and 14 mm long.  Two strands of tan woven cord on each side of the necklace hold this stone in an organic setting that is finished with a 14k chain and lobster clasp in back.  The chain detail at the back clasp give this necklace a range of 15.5″ -16.5″ length options.  Priced at $299.

JAMIE JOSEPH 14k Yellow Gold and Pyrite Stud Earrings

Our last Jamie Joseph piece is a small but dazzling pair of stud earrings.  Set in a 14k yellow gold bezel and post back, this frame holds a dome faceted pyrite stone that shimmers darkly.  These simple studs just might become the pair you reach for on a daily basis. Retailed for $485.  Priced at $249.

INDIVIDUAL DESIGNERS

18K Yellow Gold Emerald and Diamond Ring Size 8

We are all mesmerized with the color of this extra large, over 4 carat emerald that sits high in the front and center of this statement ring.  One 18k yellow gold band splits into 5 separate bands that gradually step tier in height along the front side of the ring, each band encrusted with a twinkling lineup of diamonds.  The Emerald is 4.36 carats and registers a light, but strong green in the step emerald cut style stone.   The 58 round brilliant cut diamonds that surround the center stone total .75 carats of diamonds and have an SI-1 to I-1 clarity and H/I color range.  Size 8.  Sold with current appraisal valued at $10,550.  Priced at $3,900.

LA PEPITA 18k Yellow Gold Stacked Band Ring w/18k White Gold + Diamond Bar Size 5.5

A stack of thin bands have become a trend for many women recently; we are asking ourselves why wear one ring when you can wear many?  This 18k gold ring by Italian designer La Pepita gives you the style of a whole stack, but you don’t have to keep track of each individual part.  An 18k white gold band detailed with small bead set diamonds was added along the front side of the bands to connect them all.  This white gold bar is not fixed in position, so the ring can flow and move with you.  Diamonds are all round brilliant cut and total .05 carats.  Size 5 1/2.  Sold with current appraisal valued at $1,300.  Priced at $649.

MALLARY MARKS Multi Colored Sapphire “Spun Sugar” 18k Earrings – SOLD

SOLD

CHANEL 1987 Gold Shield Brooch – SOLD

Our only vintage piece in this collection of jewelry is this Chanel brooch from the 1987 collection.  A gold toned oval shape is formed to resemble a shield of sorts, with the House of Chanel emblem front and center.  The design is etched into the gold to create a black pattern that features a crown top, an interlocking CC center and three pointed spears at the base.  A solid gold toned edge creates a frame for this piece.  Measures 1 7/8″ long and 1 3/8″ wide.  Sold with original box.  Priced at $299.

CLOTHING:

VALENTINO Cosmic Printed Black Wool/Silk Dress Size 4

We did throw in one non-jewelry piece to this blog, but covered in a print of stars and planets, it will sparkle and shine in its own way.  The Pre-Fall 2015 collection was full of cosmic details that were out of this world, and we have one of the more ready-to-wear pieces to go straight into your closet.  Show your love of the galaxy in this dress with a multi colored print including Mars, Jupiter, The Milky Way and multiple constellations.  Crafted out of a wool/silk blend this fit and flare cut sleeveless dress is easy to wear, especially when you find the pockets that lay flat along the hips.  Hits right above the knee and is fully lined in silk.  Italian size 42, fits like a size 4.  Retailed for $3,400.  Priced at $499.
