Going to go look at an open house this afternoon. It’s a competitive market here. I’m thinking this just might tip the ⚖️ in my favor. Thoughts? 😎#OnSaturdaysWeWearBigDiamonds RePosted • @sothebysjewels Reported to have been initially created in 1767 and passed down generations within the Spencer family, the Spencer Tiara was worn by Lady Diana just over 40 years ago, and turned heads when she stepped into St. Paul's Cathedral in the most highly anticipated Royal wedding of the past century. Its famous garland style design has a central heart-shaped motif set with diamonds flanked by continuous running scrolls, interspersed with star and trumpet-shaped flowers mounted in silver and gold. The heart-shaped piece was particularly sentimental to Lady Diana as her grandmother, Lady Cynthia Hamilton, received it as a wedding present for her 1919 marriage to “Jack”, Viscount Althorp, the future 7th Earl Spencer. Over nearly 200 years – as is often the case in jewellery of this kind – the tiara was added to and transformed until crown jeweller Garrard was commissioned in the 1930s to turn the tiara into the final article. Lady Diana was known to be fond of the Spencer Tiara, often wearing it to white-tie events, sporting the dazzling piece at least seven times between 1983 and 1992 on special occasions during royal tours and high-profile events. It will now be exhibited in London for the first time since the 1960s as a highlight of the UK's largest tiara exhibition in two decades, part of Sotheby's Jubilee in celebration of The Queen's Platinum Jubilee this summer. #SothebysJubilee #SothebysLondon #SothebysJewels #PlatinumJubilee #SpencerTiara https://www.instagram.com/p/CerNCVwpt7N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just a little trinket to wear while running errands and visiting friends. No big deal. #OnSaturdaysWeWearBigDiamonds RePosted • @theadventurine I knew from the moment I met @fernandojorge 10 years ago @mrstephenwebster’s Rock Vault @by_couture in Las Vegas, he was something special. It’s been a joy to watch the collection grow and evolve, win awards and become a staple on the best red carpets over the last decade. Happy anniversary Fernando! You are a treasure. ✨ https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc--dZwpW5a/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tell me about a favorite piece in your jewelry wardrobe. I’ll tell you about one of mine. This ring is plastic. Yup. Some sort plastic resin with a painted scene on the underside. And I desperately love it. Why? A few reasons. I bought it at the @museelouvre almost 20 years ago, on a girls’ trip after a week in Europe for work. The colors also speak to me and this thing goes with everything! Jeans and a tshirt. A nice dress. A work suit. And it’s always a conversation piece, as well as being very unique - I’m not going to see one like it on anyone else. Ever. So, again, tell me about a favorite piece of yours. #FeatureFriday https://www.instagram.com/p/CcqUX0Qu4U9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

While we don’t know who he is, we can be sure he doesn’t care about Will Smith or Chris Rock. You can leave his photo in there or remove his photo and put it in an honorable place and stick in a new photo. Or a different old photo. The good news is the brooch doesn’t care. It just wants to be worn. QOTD: what would you put inside? #portraitbrooch #locketbrooch #thebroochisback https://www.instagram.com/p/CbqYW7upNIl/?utm_medium=tumblr

I love a good love story. A returning client came to me asking about an emerald cut diamond engagement ring. He didn’t want something that would overpower his beloved’s delicate fingers. It’s not always about grapefruit sized diamonds (except on Saturdays. IYKYK. 😎). All of the old cuts are beautiful, Just as we’re all unique, so are old cut diamonds and the right stone is out there for everyone. #oldcutdiamondsarethebestdiamonds #WeddingWednesday https://www.instagram.com/p/CbcslU9Ok6_/?utm_medium=tumblr
