September is a month of change – the weather becomes cooler, children go back to school and time seems to return to its speedy pace.
Changes abound at Doyle & Doyle in September. Besides the recent addition of tons of new pieces to our Heirloom by Doyle & Doyle line, including Acrostic charm bracelets and necklaces and Scroll Vine earrings and necklaces, we’ve also been busy searching out the best antique and estate pieces out there.
Although there is a lot to choose from, a few of the staff here at Doyle & Doyle have managed to pick out their favorites:
Jessica’s favorite new piece is the Miniature Portrait Pendant Locket (091836N):

“This exquisitely painted portrait set at an angle, the single bloom on the reverse and the swirling frame are quintessentially romantic.”
Says Joanna about her favorite, the Emerald Filigree Ring (090800R):

“This emerald looks like it holds an entire world. It’s not often you see emerald cabochons of this size and color in a ring; it’s really striking. Georgian jewelry is easily my favorite time period.”
Gemologist Laura can’t help but love jewelry centered upon beautiful precious or semi-precious stones, so it’s no wonder her current favorite is the Coral, Seed Pearl and Turquoise Necklace (091726N):

“As a young girl I often visited, and eventually worked, in my father’s jewelry store. Among the many unusual and unique pieces of jewelry that he had in his store were the coral beads, which he imported from Italy. My love affair with coral started then. I love the look and feel of coral beads. These tapered tear drops are gorgeous, especially how they are accented by the turquoise buttons and seed pearls, – I can’t think of a better combination to wear together.”
History buff Alison is a fan of the Lady’s Portrait Pin Pendant (091326P):

“I love how this charming portrait pin pendant combines the decorative and fine arts – the painting of the lady is so finely done! And the Gothic quatrefoil shape is a nice contrast to the feminine seed pearls. Pieces that have convertible fixtures give you so many options: you could wear it in your hair, or to fasten a sweater, or as a necklace on a chain.”
