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. #babiesofinstagram #babygifts #christeninggift #giftsoflove #moonstone #lapidary #babyannouncement #tiffanyandco #vintagetiffanybrooch #vintagetiffany #19thcenturyjewelry #tiffanyarchives #19thcenturytiffany #babyface #cryingbaby #antiquetiffany #Repost @archivistsdelight with @make_repost https://www.instagram.com/p/CTuHbKHI7vF/?utm_medium=tumblr
Hi!! More pictures of the crying babies that will be available at @wonderlandofplay . At the second picture you can see how small they are .
Aaaww!! I am excited and a bit nervous because we are not sure if we will have enough time to assemble/prepare the booth for the event because we have the hotel in Brussels We will try our best, excuse us if we arrive and we cannot talk very much .
I am also a bit nervous about talking again in my poor English (I am Laura♀️, Alejandro is much better than me with English ), but can wait to meet you! Just be patient with me .
Surprise!! Let me introduce you our new creation; the crying baby! We have been working on these tiny babies for @wonderlandofplay event and we cannot wait to show you them!
We really hope you like these babies and give their some love (they are waiting hugs from you ).
