Sapphires and Diamonds - A Match Made In Heaven!

I love the look of vibrant blue Sapphires 
juxtaposed against brilliant white diamonds.
Throw in some intricate filigree or an unusual shape 
and you've got a perfect combination!
An emerald cut sapphire is framed by European cut diamonds.

A Polished glossy sapphire cabochon is so rare and eye-catching! 

Circa 1900, this ring, of Italian origin features a natural Sapphire in the center, 
accented by rose cut diamonds. I love the unusual scalloped shape.
This one is a rare and unique find!

(Antique REPRODUCTION)

An emerald-cut diamond is surrounded by rows of
French-cut sapphires. I can totally picture Daisy from 
The Great Gatsby flaunting this ring. 


This gorgeous ring has all the details of an Edwardian era jewelry piece.
European and rose cut diamonds, accented by two sapphires set into an intricate, pierced setting. 
It's easily worth twice the listed price.

Jazz Age Glamour


The roaring 20's are making a major comeback, thanks to the much anticipated upcoming release of the Great Gatsby remake. Though Leonardo DiCaprio does not exactly "float my boat", I am very much looking forward to feasting my eyes on all the Jazz Age costumes and of course the jewels, created by Tiffany & Co for the film. The opulent, Art Deco style pieces are based on original designs from the Tiffany archives.

Tiffany & Co. also unveiled the Ziegfeld Collection - sterling silver and Onyx jewelry made in the spirit of 1920's. The collection includes a variety of pearl necklaces, earrings, rings, filigree pendants and cufflinks at reasonably affordable prices.









Tiffany's NYC store windows pay a tribute to the Great Gatsby style.
