FAVORITE PIECE: Grace had a hard time narrowing down a favorite in the collection. "I like and appreciate all of our jewelry! Each piece has its own distinct style and concept that I admire. I really appreciate period jewelry, interesting diamond cuts and colorful gemstones. But, if I have to choose only one, it is the Art Deco Lorgnette Opera Glasses for the history and uniqueness. It has a lot of style and I admire the craftsmanship mixed with functionality." Click here for a better look at this beautiful example of fine art deco jewelry in San Francisco!
