Announcement    Welcome to our Etsy Store. Most of our pieces have a provenance, and are made out of precious metals such as 14K, 18K or platinum and natural gems and pearls.

On occasion, we offer a few pieces of a lower grade of gold (such as 9K) and some silver pieces, but only if it is an estate piece, if it is a designer one, or has a remarkable appeal, which is often the case with historical pieces.

We are also offering a multitude of other art objects, many of them have a provenance and all of them are guaranteed to be as described.

We offer very flexible lay-a-way plans and will work with you until you can buy what you want.

All of our pieces have been checked by our competent jeweler and estimated by our team of experts. We are proud members of the International Gem Society. Buy with confidence! Over the last 22 years that we have been in business, we have always received positive real evaluations.

Thank you for your interest in our Store!
