Fabergé Friday

It can be really annoying when you have sat down for dinner, and realize you've forgotten to bring the ketchup! For moments like this, all you need is a butler, and something to call him with - like this Fabergé table-bell for example! It was made sometime between 1896 - 1908.

The bell is made of silver, and has a handle of engraved yellow gold covered in oyster enamel. The handle is also decorated with red and green gold swags and bows, finished off by a cabochon ruby at the top. It's dimensions are 8.2 x 3.6 cm, and since 1953 it belongs to the Royal Collection.

Woodland Belle

After graduating from Appalachian State University in Boone, NC, jewelry artist Mai Mckemy started crafting jewelry and accessories under the name Woodland Belle. Finding her inspiration in nature's own magic, she wanted to create lovely things that make women feel beautiful. Each piece is personally designed and created by Mai in cast metals that are 100% economically responsible reclaimed metals, sourced in the USA. My personal favorites are the little flowers encased in glass vials though... Whether you live in a city or close to nature, wearing Woodland Belle pieces will allow you to always carry around a bit of the free wilderness...

Fabergé Friday

I would really like to have a pretty, antique hand mirror, and if it was made by Fabergé, that would be a big plus! Like this one for example, created by workmaster Julius Rappoport, some time between 1899-1908!

The mirror is made of silver, in the Louis XVI style, with it's frame and handle decorated with repousse and chased rococo motifs. The length of it is 10 5/8'' (27 cm), and it's price 5,500 USD. Get it at John Atzbach Antiques!

My own favorites from this collection is the Lily Frost earrings. Simple, yet beautiful silver flowers that can be worn to anything! You can find Lars Wallin's jewelry at Smycka. I'm not sure they ship outside of Sweden though...
