CS jewelry with uncommon designs?

[gayani1]

often,we see solitaire rings,3 stone rings,halo rings, halo pendants,solitaire pendants,eternity rings,ear studs etc i thought we shall have a thread to post photos of CS pieces which are different than those... so if you own pieces with uncommon designs/if you find pics of such pieces from the net, pls post here so that when we plan future projects we can take inspiration from them.


thank you

Thank you for your pictures.
How about this one:

 

[JewelFreak]

I love all of those! Especially the pendant, though. Gorgeous.

How about these?

Seaman Schepps -- material is the most unusual part. Diamonds & ivory from a mammoth tusk!



Russian ring, 14k, old mine diamond in his mouth, rose-cut diamonds for eyes. Carries its history with it: scratched on the inside of the shank are a Star of David, the owner's name in Cyrllic, and the date 1918.

I have posted this picture before. Found this unique ring on ebay. I didn't get it though. It was too expensive.

I love Seaman Schepps. Here's one of their well known designs with seashell and turquoise.

 

[JewelFreak]

I'd love to have those seashell earrings. I just ran into a neighbor who told me that friends of his won millions in the Florida lottery. Why can't it happen to ME? (Whine.) TxGE -- I can see that ring catching on every. thing.!

Moss agate brooch

 

[JewelFreak]

I can't keep my mouth...er, keyboard...shut on these. Isn't that a lovely brooch, LK? The agate itself is wonderful but the bezel actually beautiful. Simple, luxurious, elegant & always stylish in any era. That, to me, is the height of jewelry design & craft.

I know! Its a perfect combination of nature's beauty and man's workmanship. One of my favourite pieces I've ever seen. Unfortunately I don't have 25k.

I agree. The manmade design is classic and timeless, and the stone is a example of the natural beauty.

I agree JF, this piece is mighty grand. The agate itself is everything I would want in a moss agate composition. There is foreground, figure, mid range and distance, and elements from each extend into the others giving a great sense of depth and perspective. Honestly, the mount looks turn of the century Russian, Wigstrom perhaps? If it were a pillbox I would NEED it!

Add me as another who is amazed with the Romanov moss agate brooch; it looks simple yet there is so much depth to it.

2 more

These are from my Eye Candy folder so I don't know who to credit the original pictures to.

 

[chrono]

I think Kenny took these pictures at a gem exhibit?

More butterflies...

 

[chrono]

Butterflies rules. Actually, these are the last of the butterfly pictures.

 

[minousbijoux]

Wow, those are unbelievably beautiful, Chrono - all of them. I wonder if the first few non-butterflies you posted are Tremblant? Anyway, beautiful workmanship.

 

[LoversKites]

The rhodochrosite butterfly is my favourite.

They're all so beautiful.

 

[JewelFreak]

Beautiful stones & workmanship. The benitoite one makes me want to run out & buy a basketful.

Chrono, I think the 1st bird you posted is Sterle (accent aigu on the last e). They did some creative things with baroque pearls:




And this looks like a conch pearl -- or maybe it's coral, it's awfully perfectly round. Different & nice, whatever.

 

[JewelFreak]

I could play this game forever! My Fabulous Jewelry folder is the biggest one on my computer.

Speaking of birds, this one is unique -- the wing is a slice off of a gray diamond. Unsigned, maker unknown.


This pearl necklace makes me drool. The clasp is tdf! Unsigned again. Tragic how many superb craftsmen didn't sign their work & their names are lost to history -- but not their skill.


Schlumberger brooch w/rubies. I love how fresh & individual it is:


A brooch with coral, sappphires, emeralds & diamonds, David Webb.



Whether or not you'd want to wear all of these, they are stunning examples of jewelry as art. I'm so glad to see it being recognized as such lately.

These nephrite cufflinks are pretty cool
