About Us

This web site is dedicated to three women all named Jessica…. my great grandmother, my grandmother, and my mother – women of grace, intelligence, and style. All qualities I hope you find reflected here.

When I was young, my mother took me out of school once a month to experience the culture of New York City. We attended plays, films, and went to museums. Her exquisite taste in clothing, food, and classic décor was an enduring influence. She inspired me to spend endless hours wandering NYC’s Museum Mile from the Metropolitan to the Frick. Undoubtedly these experiences led to my decision to pursue a degree in Art history at New York University where I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Fine Arts.

For the last 15 years I have sold antiques and vintage jewelry in local shops. My first love was vintage wristwatches, and I am a former member of the NAWCC. From 2000 to 2003 I was employed in the jewelry trade full time. This experience brought my understanding and appreciation of jewelry to a new level. I worked closely with a GIA graduate gemologist and broadened my knowledge of gemstones and diamonds.

The pieces of jewelry on my web site were all hand selected. I purchased them for their originality of design and quality of workmanship. Some pieces are antique, some vintage, and a few are contemporary. I hope you enjoy this collection as much as I enjoyed assembling it.
