9 Lot 34 & 120 : These two pieces completely took my breath away, I was tempted to run to my studio with them, place them on my mannequins and then design dresses worthy of them, they are so intricately made, they need only the simplest of pieces, in black bias cut velvet. Imagine if they could talk the stories they would tell of grand entrances in ballrooms and lavish private dinners across France and Europe ! Lot 35: I think this little bee needs to be sitting proud on the grosgrain ribbon of a trilby, how lovely to mix the masculine and the feminine together. Lot 40: The colour and femininity of this delicate 19th century necklace, and it’s beautifully crafted details, made me smile, the thought of this adorning a black silk v-neck blouse, is sure to be a conversation piece. Lot 43: Pearls are so eternally classical, and this ring seems utterly timeless, a piece that can be worn every day and handed down through generations. Lot 54: This piece really caught my eye as I have a love affair with cocktail rings and although this is a brooch, I think it could be turned into the most striking ring, one I would be delighted to wear with one of my evening dresses. Lot 129: I adored the clarity and colour of the stone, but was most impressed with how the diamonds appeared to float on their settings. Imagine waking up on Christmas morning with this as a precious gift. Lot 230: Oh to be able to add this as a closure to one of my dresses, a discreet but sparkling detail at the nape of the neck, hair up, a lovely surprise at the back of a dress!
