A very rare pair of 18K yellow gold and diamond earrings designed by Frank Gehry for Tiffany & Co. These “Hoop” earrings are from the “Equus” line, one of the six original lines Gehry created in 2006. There were two different earring designs in the Equus line, this style being the more uncommon. The earrings are bead-set with round brilliant cut diamonds one side. They can be worn with the diamonds showing outward, or reversed to show the plain gold side. The diamonds are estimated at G/VVS quality, and are 2.5 points each. The “Equus” line is no longer available from Tiffany. Each earring is marked “T & Co./Gehry/750”. In 2006, Gehry became the first designer allowed to sign his own works for Tiffany since Paloma Picasso in 1980. Gehry’s designs draw on his expertise as one of the 20th Century’s greatest architects. The “Equus” line is based on the abstract, undulating “horse head” motif that appears in some of his buildings, most notably the auditorium inside the DG Bank headquarters in Berlin. Origin: America, ca. 2006. Size: 1-1/4” x 1-5/8” long. Weight: 12.5 grams. Approximate Total Diamond Weight: .4 carat.

A dramatic 18K white gold ring set with diamonds and amethyst by Gucci. The designer's "Horsebit Cocktail Ring" is one of the best of Gucci's contemporary jewerly collection. The ring features a large rectangular checkerboard-cut amethyst held in place at each corner with diamond-set prongs in a horsebit motif. The horsebits arch downward toward the shank, itself encrusted with pave-set round cut diamonds. Gucci's attention to detail is evident in the construction. Some of the diamonds, for instance, are set underneath the amethyst where nobody could possible see them--but the wearer knows they're there! The amethyst is graded at medium, strongly saturated, purple color; good cut; very good proportions; excellent finish; and eye-clean clarity. The diamonds are estimated at G/H color with VS1 clarity. The inside of the shank is marked with appropriate Italian gold hallmarks and Gucci's jeweler's hallmark. This ring is currently available from Gucci at a retail price of $7,950.Origin: Italy, ca. 2010. Condition: excellent, all original. Finger Size: 5-1/2 to 6-1/2 (because of the way the shank is designed, the ring will actually fit a range of finger sizes). Size: 1" x 13/16" x 9/16" (height above finger) at crown. Weight: 20.9 grams. Approximate Total Gemstone Weight: amethyst, 22.42 cts; diamond, 1.5 cts.

A nice vintage tie bar in a bamboo pattern by Tiffany & Co. The bar is worked in 14K yellow gold, and each end features a blue sapphire cabochon collet set in platinum. The small amount of platinum contrasts nicely with the deep blue of the sapphires. The bamboo design was reworked in the 1960's and became one of Tiffany's most successful sterling silver flatware designs. Its use in jewelry, however, is uncommon. The relatively short length works perfectly with the narrow width of today's ties. The back is marked "Tiffany & Co. 14K."Origin: America, ca. 1945. Condition: excellent. Size: 1-15/16" long. Weight: 6.1 grams. Approximate Total Gemstone Weight: .34 ct.
