Apr 30

This wonderfully bold and striking vintage cross pendant is by Barbara Anton c.1970. Formed of seven rectangular step cut amethysts set within an organic free form gold mount of heavily textured yellow gold, each stone is held at the corners by finger-like claws resembling coral. The American artist jeweller Barbara Anton (1926-2007) was a woman of many talents, an actress/writer/artist and latterly a jewellery designer. After studying at the Museum of Modern Art and the Gemological Institute of America her passion for jewellery led her to design her own pieces. Characterised by their artistic sometimes sculptural flair, use of juicy gemstones, raw, organic textures and abstract forms, her jewels are sought after by dedicated connoisseurs and collectors around the world.

A beautiful Victorian diamond-set cross pendant c.1870 set with old mine brilliant cut diamonds in silver on gold. At 5cm long (including the bale) and with almost three carats of sparkling old mine cuts this gorgeous pendant would look as good on a silk ribbon as it would on an antique chain.

Apr 27

We’ve surrounded this gorgeous octagonal old brilliant cut diamond with a geometric frame of shiny black onyx. I’m loving the contrast of opposites - black and white, transparent and opaque, sparkle and shine. It’s also giving me Art Deco vibes, would you agree?!
