A black geode set in 22K yellow gold with diamonds around the border. Worn as a brooch.

Come see it in person.

10/13/2026

A long emerald-cut aquamarine framed in pierced diamond filigree.

Deco and Edwardian jewelers worked this way deliberately, cutting away everything they could so light passes through the gem instead of stopping at a solid back.

10/08/2026

Close to 170 carats of amethyst, set in 14K yellow gold during the Victorian era. The necklace finishes in three pear-shaped drops, and a matching brooch and earrings complete the set. Find this rare set in our Willard Hotel, Washington DC location.

10/06/2026

A vivid green emerald set in 18K yellow gold, with a bezel that frames the stone twice and a bead chain that moves with you. A piece to wear every day, find this beautiful emerald necklace in our Willard Hotel, Washington DC location.

10/01/2026

Cognac diamonds, white diamonds, and Mexican opal, shaped into an oak leaf for the season. 🍂

Ask us about this piece.

Earrings inspired by Halley's Comet, dating to the early 1900s, set with old European cut diamonds in 14K yellow gold. They use a screwback fitting rather than a post, standard for the era before pierced ears were common. Old European cut diamonds were made to catch candlelight.

Come see it in person at The Willard Hotel, a premier home of vintage jewelry in DC.

09/25/2026

A wide bracelet in 18K white gold, set edge to edge with moonstones, sapphires, and diamond. Moonstone's optical effect, a soft glow that shifts as the stone moves, is called adularescence.

The bracelet is fully articulated, so it moves with the wrist rather than sitting stiff, which is worth knowing if you're deciding between this and a more rigid cuff.

Ask us about this piece, and come see it at The Willard Hotel, in Washington DC.

09/24/2026

A long strand of fireball pearls, each one irregular and full of movement, with small 18K gold and diamond charms, little creatures full of wonder worked in throughout. Long enough to layer, find this beautiful staple piece in our Willard Hotel, Washington DC location.

09/16/2026

A pair of gold dome earrings from the 1960s, known as Sputnik earrings for their connection to the satellite era. Designers of the period responded to the excitement around the first satellites with pieces like this one, a cluster of multicolored gemstones set into a rounded gold form. Pieces tied to a specific cultural moment like this one tend to hold particular appeal for collectors who look for jewelry with a documented historical reference point.
