ESTATE / TURN OF THE CENTURY
AN ERA OF REFINEMENT
The early 1900s favored lightness and lace. Think airy platinum filigree, old European- cut diamonds, and milgrain borders that catch the light like snowfall. This era’s jewels — carved jade pendants, Art Deco rings, and intricate bracelets — were engineered with astonishing finesse, yet designed to be lived in and adored. Wear these pieces as they were intended: close to the skin, layered softly, and paired with today’s pared-back silhouettes for a quiet glow that feels effortless. Our Collector’s Note: Look for hand-pierced galleries, original patina, and the poetry of early cuts — each facet a fingerprint from another time.
