For those who you should not know, Metier is a boutique store situated in San Francisco which went from promoting largely apparel and a few jewelry, to generally jewellery and many curiosities. Sheri and Trina curate some of the greatest antique jewels you may ever lay your eyes on, so I understood the instant I asked Sheri to share her particular collection with Gem Gossip, it was destined to be great! Acquire it away, Sheri:

“I am a collector of jewels of all types. I like that they really are a testament to the past and beautiful reminders of events or individuals, or particular times after you set them on. I like that they enhance the best way you discuss. I am keen on mingling antique parts with fashionable gems, the ethos of craftsmanship binding the different time intervals and jewelry styles. I am obsessive about references to natural sorts in jewellery. I love snakes and animal motifs, and am drawn to unconventional purely natural stones, previous diamonds, coral, emeralds, turquoise and agates of all types. I combine my metals and adore stacks of gold bands and bracelets.

I’m incredibly sentimental and have on a curb?link chain with gathered antique and Philip Crangi charms daily. Without the need of this talismanic necklace I really feel bare. French angel charms with the names and birthdates of every of my youngsters and also a gorgeous parrot locket loaded with relatives pics are among my most treasured pieces.

I collect bangles and silver chain for womenappreciate Etruscan Revival close to Victorian beside Mid?Century. The diamond snake bangle was offered to me by spouse for my 35th birthday as well as pair of wedding day bangles were being an anniversary present. The silver floral bangle with rose gold edges was amongst the main pieces I ever purchased far more than twenty years back.

At any time drawn to contrasting shapes and textures, my wedding day cameo necklace pairs unexpectedly with vintage department coral or the Gabriella Kiss ivy necklace and tough emerald earrings from Variance Objects.

Style often plays a major element in how I type my jewellery. These days custom chains for menmore substantial earrings for working day have already been calling out to me and my carved antique horn urns or intricate studded hoops from Philip Crangi all over again experience really au courant.

Previous are my beloved rings. I am drawn to stones and types that seduce the head and the eye. Two are snake rings, 1 a marriage band as well as other a Gemstone Gypsy snake, twin to one my teenage daughter wears. My function companion, Trina and that i just lately purchased each other the Gabriella Kiss eye rings. My mother’s diamond was set by Gillian Conroy and also the extra?wide rose gold wedding band and turquoise pave navette ring have remained among my incredibly favorite rings given that I began gathering.
