A native of Berkley, Michigan, the 38-year-old jewelry designer spent childhood summers with his grandfather in the Upper Peninsula. Together, they would take metal detectors and go out looking for copper and raw silver. “I liked to beat metal with a hammer even at a young age,” Paul remembers. Today, as one of Tapper’s master jewelers, Paul channels his passion for precious metals into beautiful designs for Tapper’s clients. Most recently, Paul Maki Designs has introduced an exclusive line of engagement rings, with each design’s inspiration tied to a particular historical time period. Together with his wife, Andrea, who helps both with ring design and on the brand’s business end, Paul has designed and crafted an exclusive line of engagement rings. Inspired by specific periods during the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries, Paul Maki rings are designed and crafted to last forever. “The design and construction of our rings have been meticulously thought over to ensure that the customer will have problem-free wear,” Paul notes. Paul Maki’s Georgian-era rings hearken back to a time when precious metals were extremely expensive and engagement rings from that time focused on airy designs. Notice the slim, elegant profile of this ring, as well as the open heart detail that flanks the center diamond. In contrast, jewelry crafted during Queen Victoria’s reign boasted lavish use of precious metals as well as large diamonds and gemstones. Maki’s three-stone diamond “Victorian” ring is reflective of this era. Art Nouveau is a style of art that peaked in popularity at the turn of the 20th century and manifested itself in natural, organic and floral motifs—a leaves, scrolls, natural look. The Edwardian period was influenced by luxury and lavish designs, giving way to intricate concepts and attention to detail. Art Deco moved away from the softer, organic, natural feel of Art Nouveau and focused on functional, industrial, clean edges and lines. In addition to the bridal designs that you will find exclusively at Tapper’s, Paul will also custom-design rings and other jewelry to perfectly suit a client’s individual desires. “If you can dream it, I can work to make it happen,” says Paul. Tapper’s will soon carry an even greater selection of Paul Maki designs, including more men’s and women’s wedding bands, and new engagement ring styles.

  • Tiara Pair of Earrings in Chinoiserie Style
    1 1. Italy or France Tiara Gold and coral, about 1817 Purchased with funds given by Rita Barbour Kern, 1996.27 French Neoclassicism revived the fashion for wearing a tiara, a head ornament based on an ancient Greek diadem. Tiaras of varying degrees of intrinsic value were worn by every woman from the middle classes to royalty. Coral, which was believed to posses protective powers, was often used in jewelry for children and young adults. A portrait painted by Luigi Bernero in 1817 of Maria Teresa of Savoy (1803– 1879) shows the 14-year-old Italian princess wearing a hair ornament almost exactly like this tiara. Most coral in Europe came from the sea around Naples and nearby Torre del Greco. In the 19th century coral jewelry became a fashionable souvenir. This was partly because people could travel more once the Napoleonic wars had ended in 1815, but also due to the growing popularity of Luigi Bernero (Italy, 1775–1848), Maria Teresa di Savoia.

The first pair of earrings was usually given to a young girl in England at Silver, gold, diamonds, pearls and rubies, age 16, when simple ‘top-and-drop’ pearl earrings were considered to be more appropriate for a young, unmarried about 1820 girl.

Her love of colour and festive trimmings, largely forgotten, was subsumed in her own presentation of her tragic condition after Prince Albert’s death. The exhibition in 2010 at The Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace, on Victoria and Albert as collectors, showed by contrast the happy days of her marriage, when her jewels, rather than commemorating death, reflected her relationship with her husband and family.1 This essay looks at the story of Victoria and Albert through the jewellery they commissioned, gave to each other and wore on every kind of occasion.

  • Diamonds Fact Sheet
    ROYAL COLLECTION TRUST The diamonds and their history Queen Victoria’s Small Diamond Crown Just 10cm in diameter and weighing 140 grams, this crown became the most recognisable jewel of Queen Victoria’s old age. She was regularly depicted wearing it, notably in her official Diamond Jubilee Portrait. It was supplied by R & S Garrard & Co. in March 1870 and consists of a silver openwork frame, laminated with gold and set with 1,187 brilliant-, rose- and mixed-cut diamonds and some diamond chips. The stones were probably taken from a fringe-pattern chaîne de corsage . Queen Victoria does not appear to have worn the chaîne de corsage after Prince Albert’s death in 1861, and when she ordered her Small Diamond Crown in 1870, the fringe elements of the chaîne were probably used to provide the stones (see Queen Victoria’s Fringe Brooch below). Queen Victoria spent the rest of her life in mourning clothes and the Small Diamond Crown satisfied the need for a formal head ornament of colourless stones, suitable for mourning. The crown was subsequently worn by Queen Alexandra, who relinquished it to Queen Mary. In 1937, King George VI added it to the display at the Tower of London, where it has remained. Queen Victoria’s Fringe Brooch On display for the first time, this brooch appears to have formed the centrepiece of the fringe-pattern chaîne de corsag e broken up to provide stones for the Small Diamond Crown (see above). The larger stones in the brooch are thought to have come from one of the two impressive jewels presented to Queen Victoria by the Sultan of Turkey.

  • A HISTORY of EUROPEAN ROYAL JEWEL SALES, INCLUDING SOTHEBY’S 2018 AUCTION of MARIE ANTOINETTE’S JEWELS Russell Shor
    FEATURE ARTICLES A HISTORY OF EUROPEAN ROYAL JEWEL SALES, INCLUDING SOTHEBY’S 2018 AUCTION OF MARIE ANTOINETTE’S JEWELS Russell Shor On November 14, 2018, Sotheby’s Geneva sold 100 lots from the House of Bourbon-Parma, including 10 items from Queen Marie Antoinette. The venerable auction house claimed it was one of the largest sales of jewels with royal provenance in modern history. The key word from Sotheby’s statement is “modern,” because there have been other major sales of jewels from both crown jewels (owned by the state) and the personal property of royalty since 1795. The first section of this article describes how the most prominent European royal houses—particularly the Habsburgs, the Bourbons, and their predecessors—acquired their jewels and then details the most significant auc- tions of these items, starting with the collection of Madame du Barry in 1795 and the French crown jewels in 1887. The second part chronicles the historic Bourbon-Parma auction in 2018. The Sotheby’s sale was extraordinary in its scope because a vast majority of the jewels collected by European royals, mainly in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, had been widely scattered over the past two centuries by sale, confiscation, theft, residence in museums, and reworking. With 10 of the lots traced back to France’s most famous royal, Marie Antoinette, the auction attracted worldwide attention and exceptional prices—her signature drop-shaped natural pearl pendant alone sold for US$36 million. The 100 lots sold for a total of US$53 million. In recent years, jewels with royal provenance have fetched high premiums at auction, and this was no exception.

The vast quantity of contemporary floral jewelries depicts a natural flower and repeats compositions from the preceding centuries. Certainly, there are artists whose jewelries are outstanding and original. In this work, I attempt to make one-step further advancing flowery jewelries with a modern design and innovative ideas. Thus, I analyze the flowery design in jewelries from the past centuries. This gives me the overview of produced jewelries and help to find a better design and technical solutions for the practical part of this work.
