I would walk around in constant awe of myself too if I was wearing two antique Georgian necklaces, in this case an amethyst riviere and a rubellite tourmaline festoon.  Anna Wintour is just so right.  The Georgian parure pictured at top is available on Rubylane.

Reproduction Regency crosses now for sale in my Etsy shop!  I'm so excited to have these.  They were such a common motif in Georgian jewelry and I love being able to reproduce something that you see so frequently.

I did a professional photoshoot with DriftingFocus photography for my Georgian Collet Necklaces.  I wanted to show some shots where several were worn at once, like Anna Wintour.  I could not be more happy with these.  Aren't they gorgeous photos?

Collet Necklaces are available in my Etsy shop: Dames a la Mode

I've launched a new jewelry line called The Josephine collection, named after Napoleon's lovely wife.  These are very accurate reproductions of Georgian and Regency-era jewelry, using the best materials I can get my hands on, including my new custom-made collet settings, which are the most accurate on the market.  I'm so pleased with how lovely everything is and even more pleased that they are so versatile.  I hope you'll check out my reproduction jewelry.
