We are tuning in to the @gemxclub talk today at noon with @daphnelingon from @christiesjewels 👩🏻‍💻The jewelry veteran has been with the auction house for over 25-years and on the scene for the sale of Elizabeth Taylor’s jewelry collection as well as the Al Thani sale aka Maharajas & Mughal Magnificence. Head to the link in bio and pre-game the chat with our recap of what it was like to be in the auction room last summer during the epic 12-hour MMM Sale. 💎 Diamond riviere from the MMM sale.
A gift of a Tiffany silver Scribble brooch by Paloma Picasso got me to thinking about the designer’s heyday in the 1980s. 🌟 Head to the link in bio for my look back at her career and find out the source of inspiration for her gestural jewel. 📸 #PalomaPicasso wearing her citrine necklace in 1985. ✨ #tiffanyandco #tiffany #1980s
This Cartier ring (yes, Cartier!) was made in 1969, inspired by the Apollo 11 Moon landing. It is being sold at @ragoauctions tomorrow. 🚀 🌝 Head to the link in bio to find out about the fascinating backstory of the jewel that is stamped “Made in Canada” and was exhibited at the #Cartier Mansion in New York City just weeks before the famous Taylor Burton Diamond went on display. 📸 Photos courtesy of Rago Director of Fine Jewelry Dianne Batista aka @nycdianne who went in the office to get us the shots. 🙏 #apollo11 #cartiernyc
Did you know - there is an entire category devoted to #ElizabethTaylor on The Adventurine? Click the link in bio to see it. 📸 Elizabeth Taylor trying on a bib #necklace @vancleefarpels in Paris. Note her 29.5-carat diamond engagement ring from Mike Todd. 🇫🇷 The mid-1950s image shows Mr. Louis Arpels at right. The woman standing behind Ms. Taylor is sales associate and according to VCA expert @catherine_cariou - she is wearing a double leaf brooch. ❤️ #elizabethtaylortuesday #elizabethtaylorjewelry
What is the secret language of jewelry? 🤔 We are tuning in to Gem X today 👩🏻‍💻at 11am New York time to hear @christiesedu professor @jewelsandthegang speak with @christinechengny who showed us this Verdura shell from @simonteaklejewelry a while back. We are pretty sure it means summer. 📝 Head to @gemxclub link in bio to join. It’s free but they encourage donations for the talk that are given to @mealsonwheelsamerica 💗
Couldn’t resist one more Schlumberger - because we are obsessed. 🐚 This is one of our favorite summer jewels. The seashell on the sapphire seashore bracelet is from the @christiesjewels sale of Peggy Rockefeller’s collection. The bracelet was made in 1957 - one year after the French designer joined #Tiffany ✨ #Schlumberger #jeanschlumberger #summerjewelry
If you love Schlumberger tune in to @gemxclub today at noon for a talk from @archivistsdelight aka #Tiffany archivist Annamarie Sandecki who is going to review the designer’s work and one of his most celebrated patrons #BunnyMellon. 💗 Pregame the chat by clicking the link in bio and reading a story from The Adventurine archives about the exhibit Drawn to Beauty: The Life and Atelier of Jean Schlumberger. 📸 Bunny Mellon’s Jasmine necklace by #JeanSchlumberger 💎
A New York City jewelry retail institution, @alavieillerussie was founded in Kiev in 1851 and has experienced many world crises over the years as it relocated to Paris and finally New York City in 1941. ✨ Peter Schaffer, one of the principals of the firm, shares his unique historical perspective and his experience remaining in NYC during the pandemic. 📸 The Crown of Thorns brooch #JeanSchlumberger made for #MillicentRogers in 1947. It is one of the museum quality pieces in the ALVR collection today. *Photographed pre-covid at the boutique. #alvr #alavieillerussie #schlumberger
