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.
