Bertuzzi Collection™

Do you dream in green? As the mist clears, you press on toward the D. mouth of the jungle. But like the intrepid explorers who came to South America in search of fortune and glory in the form of precious green stones, you can’t help yourself. You’ve heard tales of a scintillating 50-carat emerald... and then you wake up. It was all a dream. E. Except the emerald. That part was real. The gigantic stone can be yours in our Oval Emerald Pendant for only $199! Although emeralds of this size often land in museums, we think something so spectacular belongs around a neck—not under glass. The impressive 50-carat faceted stone is a natural emerald carefully enhanced by our jewelers to bring out its finest color. And its exquisite, sterling silver frame is ringed with meticulous filigree and beadwork which has been hand-worked in Bali.

taly’s oldest opera house wasn’t haunted. There was no phantom in the Teatro della Pergola. But in the 1870s, patrons recalled an indescribable presence among the crowd. Brilliant flashes of light and hypnotic colors induced gasps from the high society crowd. While divas belted out their arias on stage, the jewelry of Florence’s most fashionable hit the highest notes of the night. And on those evenings when the most important thing was to see and be seen, one man was in constant demand. Camillo Bertuzzi was an expert at helping women steal the spotlight. More than 100 years ago, the jeweler created exceptional pieces for an exclusive Florentine clientele. Today, that exclusive clientele is you. The Bertuzzi™ Pergola Necklace was inspired by original designs from the 19th-century Italian master and is available only from Stauer. This floral motif was incredibly

popular at the time and few could match Bertuzzi’s neo-Renaissance flair. The Pergola features a magnificent 14K gold-layered sterling silver pendant set with lab-created DiamondAura® rounds and two carats of scientifically crafted blue sapphire. Thanks to advanced technology, man has mastered the art of recreating the vivid color of history’s most spectacular sapphires. You’ll find that our near-flawless, lab-created stunners burn with more fire than naturally mined gemstones that can sell for thousands per carat. We combined these three luxurious carats with the timeless artistry of Camillo Bertuzzi for a necklace worthy of a standing ovation. A . #23121 Bertuzzi™ Pergola Necklace (3 ctw) $179
It happened in the Hague. Lost among the impressive works of Rembrandt and Hans Holbein, it was the simple beauty of a Dutch girl that stopped me in my tracks. Painted by Johannes Vermeer, the subject of “Girl with a Pearl Earring” is one of art history’s most compelling mystery women.

Every aspect of Vermeer’s most famous work inspired our Dutch Masterpiece Collection. Not only do the warm yellows and vivid blues pay direct tribute to the master painter’s palette, but we’ve created each piece from the very same materials! At the center of the Dutch Necklace and Ring, you’ll find a polished square of lapis lazuli, the gem once ground to create the pigment known as ultramarine. While ultramarine was extremely expensive and few of his peers could afford it, Johannes Vermeer was a perfectionist who demanded the best. Our designer felt the same way. Flickering ovals of lemony citrine shine beside the lapis and all of the stones are set in gold-layered sterling silver, keeping with the classic look of Baroque-era jewelry. Dangling from the pendant, you’ll find a smooth, white cultured pearl. Dutch Masterpiece Collection F. #22605 18" Necklace $149 G. #W5847 Ring $129
