As a Buying Agent, I consult and find the hottest deals on investment jewelry with diamonds, collectibles and fine art available on market.
After the MUST HAVE item is chosen, I contact dealers world wide and manufacturers or I enter online auctions on behalf of my clients held by the largest auction houses in US and Europe..

Stunning Diamond 1930's Art Deco brooch features over 6CTW of H color diamonds including 1ct round cut prong-set central diamond in platinum with ornate detailing and filigree. This astonishing piece is in its original box. They first called it Style Moderne; the term Art Deco was born after the World’s Fair in Paris, known as Exposition internationale des Arts décoratifs et industriels modernes. The name stuck, as did the taste for the streamlined architectural jewelry presented there. “Art Deco jewels remain one of the strongest and most collectible sectors of the jewelry market,” said Frank Everett of Sotheby's, after a 2019 record breaking sale of a Cartier Art Deco sapphire and diamond bracelet. #diamonds #artdeco #vintagefashion #vintage #jewelry #collectibles

"Many Russians ascribe medicinal, almost supernatural qualities to vodka,” wrote Peter Baker for the Washington Post.
Late 19th century Russian silver smith Ivan Khlebnikov embodied this long-standing appreciation for vodka in his beautifully crafted, silver set of 6 vodka cups, a carafe and a tray.
Hallmarked 84 and stamped with the initials of the master himself I.H. (in Cyrillic), the set is in excellent condition.
Dimensions: carafe: height 25cm; cup: 9cm; diameter of tray 19,5cm.
Auction ends on August 11. Link in BIO.
