DIAMONDS
THE FOUR CS COLOR
. CLARITY
. CUT
. CARAT WEIGHT
The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) developed a system known as the 4Cs of Diamond Quality. The four characteristics of color, clarity, cut and carat weight define a diamond and determine its value. For example, two diamonds may be similar in cut and carat weight, but the stone with superior color and clarity will be the more valuable.

BLUE Diamonds
Blue diamonds are among the rarest gems on Earth. Classified mostly as type IIb diamonds, blue diamonds are colored by trace elements of Boron. They are so scarce that fewer than 0.02% of all diamonds have the distinction of being a blue diamond. They form at depths of at least 410 miles below the earth’s surface, while most diamonds form at 90–120 miles. The most famous blue diamond is the storied Hope Diamond discovered in India in the 1600s and now in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC.

Padparadscha SAPPHIRES
Padparadscha sapphires are the rarest and most prized variety of sapphires. Their unusual color in the pinkish-orange range inspired its name, which is derived from the Sinhalese word for lotus blossom. While Padparadscha sapphires can be found in Madagascar and Tanzania, the Sri Lankan gems are the truest and most desirable.

In the 1970s, he made a pair of hand-hammered repoussé gold cuff bracelets for Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis that were inspired by ancient designs. He also created a similar pair for his beloved wife.

Van Cleef MYSTERY-SET
Van Cleef & Arpels patented the firm’s Mystery-Set process in 1933, and the demand for these exquisite pieces has never diminished. Specially-cut stones are mounted individually onto thin gold rails, allowing the gems to be displayed with no visible setting. So labor-intensive is the process that the firm’s master jewelers produce only a limited number of pieces each year.

CARTIER MYSTERY CLOCK
The Cartier Mystery Clock is the result of a collaboration between jeweler Louis Cartier and master clockmaker Maurice Couet. Completed in 1913, the first Pendules Mysterieuses Model A mesmerized viewers with its technological achievement and use of illusion. The hands of the clock appear to float in the flawless rock crystal case as they rotate on invisible crystal disks. The hidden gears rest within gold columns, while the onyx base houses the clock’s movement. While Cartier Mystery Clock designs of the 1920s range in influence, the Model A reflected the streamlined and understated elegance of American Art Deco architecture. Its moniker pays homage to Henry Ford’s Model T, fitting for an object that appealed to American industrialists like J.P. Morgan, who owned the first Model A clock sold in the United States.
Period Cartier Mystery Clocks are rare and desirable at auction. This example comes from the Collection of Consuelo Vanderbilt Earl. The daughter of William Kissam Vanderbilt, Jr., Consuelo was raised in Manhattan and first married in 1926, coming of age at the height of the Jazz Age. Her father, a great-grandson of the railroad mogul “Commodore” Cornelius Vanderbilt, inherited great wealth and was an avid sporting enthusiast with a passion for yachting, exotic travel and fast cars. Its Gilded Age provenance, combined with the unparalleled aesthetics and sophistication of the object itself, garnered global competition for this Cartier Model A Mystery Clock.

CARTIER TUTTI FRUTTI
Cartier’s Tutti Frutti jewelry of the 1920s combines the exuberant colors and textures of carved gemstones from India with the refined and stylish designs produced by the firm during the Art Deco era. In 1901, Pierre Cartier was commissioned to create a necklace for England’s Queen Alexandra to complement Indian gowns sent to her by Mary Curzon, the wife of the Viceroy of India. This eventually led to a growing demand from prominent European and Indian clients for pieces that blended both Western and Eastern motifs and sensibilities

WEBB ANIMAL BANGLES
New York jeweler David Webb sought inspiration for his distinctive designs from history and nature. While he designed in a wide range of forms, he is best known for his sculptural animal-themed gold bangle bracelets. These bold, whimsical bracelets first appeared in 1957 and quickly became “the most coveted knickknack in all jewelrydom.”
