• Taking @kataoka_jewelry’s itty bitty pretties for a walk in the sunshine. These rings are small in scale, but their vibrant colors and perfect, eye-delighting lines make each one a tiny masterpiece. What do you think of this style? Does any particular ring grab you? I’m still swooning over the band in the middle of my middle finger with all the vivid Paraiba tourmaline. #rings #kataoka #paraibatourmaline #japanesejewelry @by_couture #diamondsinthelibrary

  • A closer look at one of the niello chains from my previous post. The elaborate links and large, delicately striped & functional spring ring are what makes this chain extra special. Niello is a ground up mixture of silver, copper, and other material that is inlaid into metal (usually silver) and baked like enamel into metal. Shout out to the one and only @lisakramervintage, who is responsible for the fact that I know that. I have a weakness for niello and I am lucky enough to have several similar chains...which means I would be willing to sell this one to someone who would love it as much as I do. DM if you’re interested. [Now SOLD!! Congrats to the new owner.] #niello #niellochain #vintagechain #antiquechain #antiquejewelry #watchchain #diamondsinthelibrary

  • Like many of you, I recently went on my first outing in 14 months! Unfortunately, my big adventure was a trip to the hospital. I’ve been working hard with all of my doctors to avoid ending up in a pandemic era ER and we had managed it so far, but this was a big ol’ ambulance-worthy Emergency and I had to go in. I am home now and safe and I’m going to be just fine. I won’t lie, though, it has not been a fun couple of weeks. The important part is this: I was able to get the treatment I needed when I needed it and that’s something precious that is denied to far too many people. I am on the mend now and extremely grateful. I’m very lucky in my support system of family, friends, and doctors and I hope I never take that for granted. It’s a cliche at this point but I mean it more fervently than ever: stay safe, darlings. xoxo, Becky PS: If you’re waiting for an email from me right now, you’re going to have to keep waiting for at least a little longer. I should be up and about soon, but we’re not quite there yet.

  • On Earth Day, let’s take a minute to talk about how we can protect the earth as jewelry lovers. Jewelry’s magic begins with the Earth, but the process of mining can also do great harm. In my 9 years in the jewelry industry I’ve seen environmental responsibility and sustainable practices go from an occasional niche topic to a frequent subject of discussion and a priority for many. It’s important to ask questions: where did these gems come from, how was this gold mined, what is this brand doing to give back? I’m always seeking to educate myself about jewelry and the environment but there’s so much to learn that it can feel overwhelming. What are your favorite resources for learning about environmental responsibility and sustainability in jewelry? Let me know your favorite resources and I’ll share them in my story. The pictured jewelry is from @venyxworld’s Mother Earth Collection. 10% of the proceeds from the Mother Earth collection are dedicated to @sealegacy, who does incredible work to protect our oceans. #earthday #responsiblejewelry #sustainablejewelry #azurmalachite #venyxworld #diamondsinthelibrary

  • One rarely has the occasion to describe fine jewelry as “fluffy” but it is the first word that comes to mind in the case of this spectacular aigrette I once met at @alavieillerussie. This beauty is circa 1900. The term “aigrette” comes from the word Egret, a large water bird with distinctive plumage. Traditionally, aigrettes were adorned with egret, osprey, or peacock feathers, but the feather featured here comes from a French species of chicken, as @alavieillerussie wanted to be sure they didn’t use feathers from an endangered species. Do you love the wild froth of this joyful aigrette or would you prefer a more traditional tiara? #tiara #aigrette #alavieillerussie #tiaratuesday #antiquejewelry #diamondsinthelibrary
