Antoinette Sweet of Antoinette Antique and Estate Jewelry sent us a dazzling peak at her generous donation to the auction component of our 40th Anniversary Gala (of course it’s 40’s themed) taking place on May 12. 2012.
Antoinette fills us in on 1940’s post war jewelry:
Post WWII prosperity unleashed an indulgence in luxury jewelry. Christian Dior introduced his “New Look” in 1947 and jewels returned to an extravagant display of gemstones with larger proportions. Citrine and aquamarine were both popular gems at that time and this ring comes to you from that era.
This ring is 14k rose gold with a large rectangular cut citrine ~13.50ct
Join us at the Gala for food, fun, glamour, film and to place your bid on this beauty–there’s still time to buy your seat! Don’t forget to stop by Antoinette Antique and Estate Jewelry (2328 NW Westover Rd, Portland) to feast on other gorgeous items.
