These antique jewels are the perfect representation of the dying days of the Victorian Empire. Beautifully made mourning jewels conveyed a message of good taste in fine craftsmanship, and remembered someone who can’t be with the wearer any longer. A poignant memory of an important era, and very wearable in todays fashion environment.

Natural pearls are the original gems. Someone, long ago, was eating an oyster and bit on something, rolling in the palm of our ancient ancestor, it was the first gem, ready to wear, produced through the efforts of a little shellfish. The natural pearl is built up layer by layer, season by season, eventually ending up as this little treasure in lot 72 of the upcoming Dupuis Auction November 24, 2013.
