Nothing in cocktail is available this week

Every piece here exists once, so this page empties and fills again as we buy. That is exactly when it is worth telling us what you are after: our buyers are with European estates, auction houses and private sellers every week, and we write to you first when something right comes in. Below you can see pieces of this kind that have already found owners, as a reference for what we look for.

About cocktail

What defines it

Made to be noticed across a room. Big colored stones, gold scrollwork and Retro confidence, usually in a size you can actually wear on a right hand.

What to look for

Every piece here is checked at our own bench before it goes online: metal karat tested, marks read under magnification, stones and settings examined, and condition described as we find it. Anything we cannot verify is left as not specified rather than guessed, and we will show you any piece live on video before you buy.

What it costs

Pieces in this style generally sit between roughly $700 and $6,500, depending on age, metal and stone content.

Indicative only. Every curated vintage, antique and estate piece is one of a kind and priced on its own merits, with free insured US shipping.
