About the Item

An entirely hand-wrought tiara of striking originality and regal presence, forged from Ohio steel—not stainless, but true steel with substance and strength. Every element has been meticulously shaped by hand: the thick wire frame has been twisted and curved to hold a constellation of twelve hessonite garnet crystals and fifteen natural quartz beads. The garnets—each approximately 7–8 mm—glow in warm cinnamon tones, their inner fire recalling the famed “cinnamon stone” treasured in antique Georgian jewelry. The quartz beads, slightly smaller, lend a cooling brilliance and balance to the composition, amplifying light and texture. All have been skillfully drilled into needles and strung directly into the steel structure, creating a tiara that is not only beautiful but also architecturally sound. Unlike the heavy, often uncomfortable tiaras of European monarchy, this piece is the most English of tiaras precisely because it is wearable. Substantial enough for a wedding, ceremony, or gala, but not intended for long-term wear beyond an evening’s triumph. The steel has a degree of malleability: though thick and stiff, it may be gently pressed to adjust for a more personalized fit. This tiara is completely unisex, designed for any wearer of any gender who seeks both regality and individuality. Its 42 gram weight is reassuring yet not overbearing. Visually, the piece offers endless poetic juxtapositions: The garnets’ cinnamon warmth against an eggshell blue church ceiling. A crown of fire and ice above the crisp white of bridal silk. A flash of color beneath the blue sky, by the green sea, or among green pines. Measurements: 12 in length Gemstones: 12 Hessonite Garnets (approx. 7–8 mm each), 15 Natural Quartz Crystals (slightly smaller) Weight: 42 g Origin: Handmade in the USA (Ohio Steel) This is a tiara not of replication, but of reinvention: a crown for those who wish to wear history, nature, and artistry all at once.

Chalcedony Bracelet, Arts Crafts Style Circa 1970s
Located in Northampton, MA
This luminous blue and grayish-blue chalcedony bracelet was created in the Arts & Crafts style though it dates to a later era; probably the 1970s. This one-of-a-kind bracelet was completely handmade using natural highly translucent chalcedony gems that range in tone from faint blue to rich periwinkle. At 141 grams, it's a satisfyingly substantial bracelet that will not get lost on your arm. The central flower-shaped arrangement is composed of one round 21mm chalcedony cabochon surrounded by eight oval and pear-shaped stones, along with two large 20mm x 17mm pear-shaped cabochons north and south. This collection of stones are soldered together as one piece that is curved to follow the arch of your wrist. On either side of this central design element are nine chalcedony cabochons, each bezel set and joined by hand-formed links. The links terminate on both ends at a row of 5 stones: two round, three ovals. The bracelet closes securely with a box clasp and safety latch. Because the central portion of this very large bracelet is fused, it's not a sloppy piece; the gems don't spin around on your wrist and become tangled. It retains its form and only the stones on the sides that are linked by chain can move freely. It's a clever design. The bracelet measures 7 ½ in length and is 3 ¾ wide. So it should fit many but the largest wrists. The bracelet is marked 925 for the silver and has an unknown maker's mark I cannot identify. Gorgeous, unique, and featuring the most distinctive blue in the gem world, this vintage chalcedony...
