Bulgari, Sapphire, and Diamond ‘Trombino’ Ring
The Trombino Ring by Bulgari is one of the brand’s most iconic and longest lasting designs, dating back to the early 1930s. While the ring is sold with various stones in the center, it always features the pave set diamond sides and tapering baguette shoulders. The one on offer features a beautiful, unheated oval sapphire, weighing in at 5.04 carats.

Van Cleef & Arpels, Ruby and Diamond ‘Mystery Set’ Flower Earrings
The Van Cleef & Arpels mystery set flower earrings are a spectacular feat of craftsmanship, from one of the most storied French jewelry houses. The secret is the gold rails that each gemstone is carved to be inserted on, leaving no metal visible in the finished ruby petal of these extraordinary earrings.

David Webb, Carved Rock Crystal and Diamond Cuff Bracelet
This wonderful cuff bracelet by David Webb consists of an oversized rock crystal disc with a cross hatch design, secured by pave diamond prongs. It has all of the play of light that rock crystal is known for and the design makes it more durable and easier to wear than other designs.

Van Cleef & Arpels, Yellow Gold, Diamond, and Coral Inlay Cuff Bracelet
Fun, colorful, and perfect for spring and summer. The diamonds placed in the flower create a wonderful sparkling effect in the sun that makes this the perfect statement piece for a garden party or just to wear on a warm summer day.
