Coco Chanel said If you want to start a collection start with a brooch because you will find most use for it. It can be pinned on a suit lapel, collar or pocket, on a hat, belt or evening gown. Her advice is still pertinent. No wonder you will find yourself wearing this very beautiful antique brooch again and again.
Through the different eras necklaces have been symbols of status and wealth and an integral part of fashion. The necklace is possibly the most obvious of jewels. Highly visible around the neck and compared to many other jewels relatively large a necklace gives the jeweller the opportunity to create a complex design ( however deceptively simple the final result appears) and simply to flaunt his skills.

The jewellers here are like those only found in fairytales. I've found they're really knowledgeable about old craftwork, rare pieces and archaeology. Their advice has a very personal touch that's more inquisitive than imperative. Unique stock, personalised consulting, great company. I'm incredibly glad that I bought the ring from such a thoughtful and expert business.
