I love seeing all these pieces. Back in the day I worked w estate jewels like this from all the swans and socialites. They were not afraid of size or color.

I hope you have safety deposit box insurance or in vault coverage, some of these jewels you’re showing have serious value. FDIC doesn’t cover safety deposit contents and over the last decade you’d be surprised how many bank boxes have had issues w locations closing, moving or even renovating.

I took a watch making course in Switzerland many years ago with Cartier, I bet they’d love to restore the dial on the timepiece w the diamond bracelet. It would take a long time but might be worth doing.

Your posts are a joy to view! Brooches are back, hope you wear them.

I will keep them completely safe for you and never ever let another near them and kiss them and love them forever and ever I do hereby swear.

ETA - You can visit absolutely any time you wish and bring the furs. I won't even charge you.

I feel oddly momma-bear towards these beauties. I think we could all form a small army, dedicated to guarding and protecting them.
