Culture Collision! Day of the Dead meets Memento Mori for Halloween

halloween 1 black mourning jewelry

Halloween makes us want to pull out the blackest, most macabre jewelry in our collection – memento mori, or mourning jewelry. It can be difficult for us in the 21st century to understand why people wore jewelry that was a constant reminder of death. It feels a little creepy at first, but like all jewelry, mourning pieces were made from love and worn with love. This is antique jewelry at its most bittersweet and sentimental.

Edwardian Splendor

While scanning Google and Pinterest for “Age of Innocence” stills for last week’s sapphire post, I happened upon an early photograph of an entrancing Edwardian brunette, elaborately coiffed and bejewelled.

Happy Labor Day!

It’s September! Here in New York, the days are warm, even steamy at times, but we’re starting to feel a little nip in the air at night. It’s the perfect time for jewels with an all-American flair. Primary colors and geometric shapes in rich, lustrous gold slide from summer into early fall. We’re inspired by […]

Nature jewelry from Doyle & Doyle

Flora and Fauna

Nature has been an inspiration in jewelry design and motifs for centuries.  During the Art Nouveau period nature was the single most important source for artists and designers.
