  • A pair of (rather astounding) emerald and diamond earrings by Bhagat...set with pear-shaped Colombian emeralds weighing 21.26 and 19.45ct respectively...embellished with stylised paisley motifs and briolette diamond shimmers...the impact of these is hard to recreate in photography...we hope those of you who have seen them with us at @tefaf_art_fair agree.. #symbolicchase #tefaf #tefaf2019 #tefafmaastricht #bhagat #bhagatjewels #contemporaryart #contemporaryjewellery #finejewelry #colombianemerald #emeraldearrings #indiandesigners

  • An emerald and diamond dress ring formerly owned by, Singer sewing machine heiress and famous mondaine, Daisy Fellowes...the step-cut Colombian emerald weighs 13.06 carats and is embellished by a border of baguette diamonds..but more interestingly, below this, an articulated fringe of baguette diamonds - to a tapered fluted platinum shank...the ring has French assay marks but no maker’s marks and isn’t signed, so one can only speculate as Daisy patronised many Parisian jewellery houses. @tefaf_art_fair #symbolicchase #tefaf #tefaf2019 #tefafmaastricht #daisyfellowes #greatjewelrycollectors #colombianemerald #1930s #baguettediamonds #dressring #cocktailring #finejewelry #importantjewels

  • A fancy yellowish-green diamond single stone ring by JAR. All the more charming for the fact that the centre stone is a cushion-shaped old-cut, it weighs 2.49 carats and was formerly the property of Countess Eliza Krasinska, née Branicka (1820-1876). As with most coloured stones, and also all old-cuts, it has a character all of its own - changing hues according to its location and time of day and, somehow I decided, its particular mood. #symbolicchase #jar #jarjewelry #finejewelry #contemporary #contemporaryart #singlestone #importantjewels #coloureddiamonds #coloreddiamonds #oldcutdiamond #oldeuropeancut #tefafmaastricht #tefaf2019

  • A blinding beauty by Taffin circa 2010.

  • A natural pearl and diamond ‘toi et moi’ ring by Mellerio, formerly the property of a European royal family. The voluminous nature of the two button-shaped pearls is echoed in the voluminous scrolls of diamonds surrounding them, bringing unity to the otherwise strikingly different colours - showing us how complimentary contrasts can be. Mellerio was founded in the 17th century and is still run by the Mellerio family today, now in its 14th generation. #symbolicchase #mellerio #naturalpearls #toietmoi #crossover #pearlanddiamond #finejewelry #vintagejewelry #importantjewels #royal #bondstreet #colouredpearls #blackpearl #blackandwhite

  • Some Sunday Edwardian glamour courtesy of an onyx and diamond devant-de-corsage brooch by Cartier New York, circa 1910. It’s a wonderful example of many key design elements in Cartier’s work during the period 1905 - 1915. Ignoring the aesthetics of Art Nouveau and the geometry of the Secessionists (making its way only into Cartier’s smaller designs at this stage), the devant-de-corsage, by nature associated with traditional corsets rather than the more modern fluid clothing coming into vogue amongst the fashion-forward, is a subtle evolution of the Garland style from the late 19th and early 20th Century in an equally muted pallet, the loops and bows having become vertical pendent lines, lending themselves perfectly the this stylised Giardinetto design, which also incorporates a Cartier classic still used in their designs today - the lily-of-the-valley. #symbolicchase #cartier #edwardian #belleepoque #collectiblejewelry #importantjewels #bondstreet #iconicdesign #onyx #diamond #devantdecorsage #bringbackthebrooch
