Ernstwhile Jewelry Co

During yesterday's perusal of my favorite blogs, I came across the amazing Ernstwhile Jewelry Co!  They have such a lovely history; four generations of jewelers, beginning in a seaside district of Russia selling rare belle epoche gems and watches.  The family Odessa functions out of New York these days, but they continue sourcing the most exotic & the unique jewels of ages bygone.  The lovely pieces now range beyond Victorian and Edwardian Nouveau styles, into Deco and uptoward 40s retro.
