A Tiffany & Co. designed, manufactured, and retailed brooch of two moonstone babies’ faces dressed in gold and enamel bonnets; one crying, one cooing. Dating from the late 19th Century. Carved moonstone jewels like these may have been supplied by an in-house lapidary since there are several extant examples as well as a plethora of jewelry sketches (wearing enormous diamond bonnets, or outfitted in pink or blue) indicating a readily available supply. Sported by both men and women to announce the arrival of a new family member.

These 19th century Venetian beads made of hand paddled and inlaid cobalt glass with a laurel wreath pattern are positively darling! Each strand is around 26”, so long enough to swing over your head and go for a fabulous warm weather look and, of course, you *could* take the strand apart and mix them with other beads, or use them individually. #laurelwreath #venetianbeads #19thcenturybeads #19thcenturyjewelry #antiquebeads #antiquejewelry #rarebeads #uniquebeads #mali #africanbeads #africanjewelry #flowerbeads #flowerjewelry #handmadebeads #handpaddledglass #handmadeglass #handmadeglassbeads #fashion #style #styleinspo #springfashion #springstyle #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC)
