These handmade 22K yellow gold drop earrings feature elongated navette-style forms, each shaped into a graceful fluted twist with a softly textured surface that catches the light beautifully. Suspended from elegant French wires, they have that easy, breezy movement that feels both ancient and modern — a little Grecian goddess, a little golden hour cocktail.

At nearly 2 inches long, they offer wonderful presence without feeling fussy. The warm richness of 22K gold gives them a lush, buttery glow that only high-karat gold can deliver.

Elegant, sculptural, and endlessly wearable — these are earrings with panache, not volume.

A little lavender, a little sparkle, and a whole lot of vintage glamour.

This elegant circa 1950 lavender jadeite pendant necklace brings together soft color, warm gold, and just the right kiss of diamonds. At the center is an oval cabochon-cut natural lavender jadeite, glowing with that dreamy lilac tone collectors love, held securely in four claws and framed by a luxurious twist of 14K yellow gold rope.

Above the jadeite sits a flirty little cluster of round brilliant natural diamonds set in white gold, adding a cool flash of sparkle against the warmth of the gold. The pendant drops from a diamond-accented bail and is suspended from a 30-inch popcorn-style 14K gold chain—long, elegant, and ready to glide over silk, cashmere, or your favorite “I just threw this on” blouse.

Circa 1950, this piece has that fabulous mid-century confidence: feminine, sculptural, and beautifully wearable. The lavender jadeite gives it a soft romantic presence, while the diamond accents make sure it still winks across the room.

A little bit glamour, a little bit structure, and a whole lot of charm—this Retro 14K yellow gold jade brooch is the kind of vintage piece that knows how to make an entrance.

At the center is a beautifully carved bar of natural green jadeite, glowing with that rich, lively color jade lovers can never quite resist. Surrounding it are fluted gold details with a softly architectural feel—like sunbursts dressed up for cocktails—giving this brooch that irresistible 1940s balance of strength and femininity.

And here is where it gets especially exciting: the jadeite is certified Type A, meaning it is natural and untreated, with no dye or impregnation detected. That is a big deal in the jade world. Untreated jadeite is increasingly rare, which gives this brooch not only beauty, but real collector appeal.

There is something effortlessly elegant about the long, sculptural shape. Pin it to a lapel, a black dress, a cashmere sweater, or a silk scarf and suddenly everything looks a little more polished, a little more interesting, and a lot more fabulous.

For lovers of vintage style, estate jewelry, and rare untreated jadeite, this is a brooch with personality—confident, feminine, and just architectural enough to keep things chic.
