Favorite Jewelry Pieces

CHRISTIE SPOONER, Managing Partner

These beautiful earrings are a classic bit of glam. They are large enough to be noticed but can be worn more frequently than special occasions. The combination of diamonds, sapphires and rubies is perfection.

Charming Sapphire, Ruby & Diamond 14K White Gold Dome Earrings (Item #241574)

I love the whimsical and fun J. Oswald clock. I would put this right on my office etagere and smile every time I looked at it!

The emerald in this stick pin is exceptional with great cut, clarity and color. The understated design of the stick pin allows the magnificent stone to stand out, creating a wonderful design and subtle touch of color and brilliance.
