Buying Jewels by Appointment

Over the last fourteen years, I've been running a by appointment jewelry business in New York and East Hampton (I've been in the collecting for thirty-five). It gives my clients privacy they crave (especially if they are selling), and gives me the freedom I need to run after my daughter, our two dogs, six cats and two horses as well as indulge my life long passion for jewelry. I sell all manner of jewels from a wide range of periods, but over the past few years have developed a concentration in signed contemporary jewelers such as Cartier, Kiestelstein-Cord, Yurman, Lalounis and others. But I personally collect fine Native American jewelry as well as jewelry from the Mexican Renaissance. The pictures shown on this page are a Cartier Panther bracelet, an enormous sapphire ring - where the top is much older than the base (an older piece of Indian (from India) jewelry I believe as you can still see the screw heads on the back of each snake. And lastly, a Victorian coral suite that's a lovely example of those carved coral pieces done bet 1860-70 and also a perfect example of the Victorian naturalist passions and their use of The Language of Flowers.
