One-of-a-Kind Journey
Marked and made by the Providence Stock Company, this 1930s bracelet is finely made with feminine floral details yet is thin with a light weight and soft drape across your wrist when worn. The sterling setting with a vermeil finish uses both rose and yellow golds to illustrate the flower design which contrasts richly with the deep forest green of the natural nephrite jade that was carved by hand.

On Signed Designer Pieces.
A piece of jewelry that has been signed by the designer is immediately of higher value, because it definitively places the work in their oeuvre. This gives the piece a personal history that it might not otherwise have—fixed in place, time, style, and intent. In addition, signed designer pieces indicate that a designer viewed the work as worthy enough to want his or her name to be forever associated with it. This indicates that the piece was made with a concentration on high-quality construction or perhaps trendy or progressive design.
On Handmade or Hand-Carved Jewelry.
Handmade or hand-carved jewelry is valued because it is, by default, one of a kind. Unlike machine-made pieces, a handmade piece can never be replicated in the exact same way, and so they will always reveal the at-the-moment intent of the individual maker. Often, the pieces have a distinctively visceral feel, as though you can sense the painstaking labor that went into every aspect.
